This busy, buzzy Oltrarno restaurant continues to be a personal favorite for its lively atmosphere and dependable cooking at reasonable prices. The menu offers ever-present favorites such as pasta with sweet tropea onions and cherry tomatoes as well as seasonal specialties like honey-glazed lamb shank with ratatouille. Desserts are well worth leaving room for, and the well-priced wine list always has something interesting on offer. Lunch is more casual and the prices are lower.

Brilliant Food, Great Wines
Offering good value for money alongside a creative riff on Tuscan and Italian classics, Santo Bevitore continues to be one of Florence’s hottest restaurants. The slow food ethic of locally sourced, seasonal ingredients is evident in a menu that meanders between meat and fish dishes—think fresh pea soup topped with sautéed octopus, and spiced beef cheek with porcini mushrooms—and also includes a great selection of cheeses and cold cuts. There’s a good wine list too.
