TYPICAL RESTAURANTS 1
BUCA DELL’ORAFO
By going down the steps of a 13th -century palazzo only a stone’s throw from the Uffizi Gallery, you’ll walk into a historic Florentine ‘buca’, one of the smallest and coziest in town, a landmark for traditional Tuscan cuisine. Delicious ribollita soup, Sangiovannese-style stew and fried chicken, but the signature dishes are artichoke frittata and chine of pork with potatoes.

BUCA LAPI
The newspapers and posters that the cabmen once used as tablecloths now cover completely the walls of the dining room of this historic “buca”. The owner and chef Luciano Ghinassi is an ambassador of traditional Tuscan and Florentine cuisine. Excellent pasta dishes and homemade desserts, in addition to a fabulous T-bone steak cooked over an olive wood-burning fire.
3
BUCA MARIO
A typical corner of Florence of bygone days in the former wine cellars of Palazzo Niccolini (a few steps from Piazza Santa Maria Novella), which has been offering its customers traditional Florentine dishes - Ribollita, Pappardelle pasta with wild boar sauce and a spectacular T-bone steak cooked over a lava stone, strictly rare - since 1886.
