This is a great Italian restaurant that my friends at work suggested. Located opp. the Piazza del Santa Croce, one has the option of sitting outside on the pavement or inside the restaurant. One thing common among the staff was that they all had tattoos. After much discussion among my colleagues, we came to the conclusion that it was probably part of the selection criteria!! (We never verified that though...)
The place serves every kind of Italian except Pizza! Typical Tuscan cuisine, offering starters and multiple courses - I had spaghetti cooked in red wine followed by oven-baked potatoes, rounded off finally by Tiramisu.
They have a selection of good wines, and between 3 of us, we finished of 2 bottles of Chianti Classico!
It's a great place for a casual lunch/dinner with business associates or just unwind with some friends - both cases applied here to me!
