Nerocarbone is a small Tuscan bistrot on Via del Parione, open since 2019 near Palazzo Strozzi: beef tartare cut daily, pappardelle al cinghiale, ribollita.
OrderThe 150 g beef tartare, then pappardelle al cinghiale or trippa alla fiorentina; crostini di fegato to start.
TipA handful of tables, so book for dinner; Sunday runs lunch and an early dinner. All-day hours Tuesday to Saturday make it a late-lunch stop near Via Tornabuoni.
Risotteria Melotti on Via dei Servi is the Florence room of the Melotti rice farm near Verona: a gluten-free menu of risotti cooked with the family's rice.
OrderRisotto all'Isolana (€16), the Veronese original, or the Amarone risotto (€17); rice-flour arancini first.
TipOpen all day from 11:00, two blocks from the Duomo towards Santissima Annunziata, so it works as an off-hours lunch. Sister rooms in Verona, Rome and New York.
Sina Hotpot on Via Ghibellina is the Florence branch of a Prato hotpot house: a simmering pot per table, mild, spicy or split broth, thin-cut meats and tofu.
OrderThe split pot, half mild and half spicy, with the sliced meat platter and mushrooms, added as you go.
TipBookings by WhatsApp or online; the Prato original runs late, the Florence room closes at 23:00. Good for groups, since the pot is shared and the pace is slow.
Trattoria Marione in Florence's Santa Maria Novella quarter runs the unfussy lunchtime carte locals queue for, with the four pillars of Florentine cucina.

TipCash and card; queue from 12:30. Closed Sunday; lunch and dinner both seat at 12:30 and 19:30.

TipOpen daily; book a fortnight ahead. The 19:30 and 22:00 seatings; lunch closed.
