Right off of Piazza della Signoria, this café and restaurant serves quality Italian fare in an upscale yet inviting atmosphere. Upstairs, bookshelves and games, luxuriant couches, dim lights and friendly service make you feel as if you’re dining at a friend’s place- and the friend happens to be a world-class chef who can also make killer zuppa inglese and cappuccino with milk steamed to perfection.
The lunch menu changes daily but don’t be surprised to find consistently delicious and healthy specials. Tomato salads, porcini mushroom omelet’s and lasagna dressed in béchamel sauce are just some of the dishes served while I was there.
Downstairs, you’ll find an assortment of pastries and pie slices to finish your meal.
