Trattoria da Burde in Florence's western edge has been the Gori family's working-quarter osteria since 1901, with the Friday-night dinner the only evening.
OrderThe Friday-night bistecca tasting if you can book; otherwise ribollita and trippa alla fiorentina at lunch.
TipLunch Mon-Sat; dinner Friday only. Book three weeks ahead for Friday; bus 35 from Santa Maria Novella.
Trattoria Za Za in Florence's Mercato Centrale square has run the family trattoria since 1977, with a covered Piazza del Mercato terrace and the full.
OrderThe full Tuscan tasting tray, then bistecca alla fiorentina and a tagliatelle al cinghiale.
TipOpen daily 11:00-23:00. Book the terrace three days ahead for summer; lunch is the easier service.
Coquinarius in Florence behind the Duomo has run as a wine-bar-and-trattoria hybrid since 1999, with a long Tuscan carte and a 200-bottle list focused.
OrderPici cacio e pepe, the salumi platter and a glass of Chianti Classico from the by-the-glass list.
TipOpen daily; book a fortnight ahead for the back vaulted room. The Brunello flight is worth the €25 add.
Borgo San Jacopo in Florence's Oltrarno is Claudio Mengoni's Michelin-starred kitchen inside Hotel Lungarno, with a 20-seat Arno-side terrace and a modern.
OrderThe 7-course tasting and any seasonal pigeon course; the Arno-side terrace seats six only.
TipClosed Tuesday. The terrace books out 6 weeks ahead for summer; €150 set or €220 with wine.
The wine family's Florence dining room on Piazza della Signoria: pasta made by the chefs each day, bread baked with the estates' Laudemio oil, over 150 wines.
OrderThe handmade pasta of the day, then a flight of three glasses from different Frescobaldi estates.
TipTables on the square look straight at Palazzo Vecchio. The kitchen runs midday to 23:00, with a lighter Al Fresco menu from 15:00 to 18:00.
Aroma Ristorante on Via Ghibellina is chef-owner Marco Romei's 30-seat fish restaurant: daily deliveries from the Tuscan coast, bread and pasta made in-house.
OrderThe day's fish from the coast; the menu changes with the catch, so ask what came in and take the house pasta.
TipClosed Monday and open until the last table leaves, so late dinners work. Book by phone; the current menu is posted on the restaurant's Facebook page.
