Address: Piazza Lorenzo Ghiberti, 50122 Firenze, Florence
Trattoria La Casalinga in Florence's Oltrarno just off Piazza Santo Spirito has been the family-run home-cooking room since 1963, with the four pillars.
OrderRibollita, pappa al pomodoro and trippa alla fiorentina.
TipClosed Sunday; cash only. Lunch is calmer; dinner books up a week ahead.
Fierucola di Santo Spirito in Florence is the monthly Tuscan-small-producer market on Piazza Santo Spirito, every third Sunday since 1984, with 70 stalls.
OrderPecorino di Pienza from a contadino, mountain honey, organic Tuscan olive oil.
TipThird Sunday only, 09:00-19:00. The piazza fills out from 10:00; Tuscan producers cluster on the south side.
Trattoria BBQ on Piazza Tasso in San Frediano cooks over wood: bistecca by the hectogram, chicken under a brick, peposo and pici with wild boar ragù.
OrderBistecca alla fiorentina (€6 per hectogram) or the mixed grill for two (€36); pici al cinghiale (€12) first.
TipPiazza Tasso is a residential square ten minutes west of Santo Spirito, so tables come easier than in the centre. Closed Wednesday; phone bookings 10:00-19:00.
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.
