A Food Exploration in the Historic Center of Florence

🔥Florence Old Town Food Hunting Journal: "Ostaria dei Centopoveri"✨ Today, Luca is here to take you to a hidden Tuscan-flavored cafeteria, "Ostaria dei Centopoveri," favored by locals. It doesn't have the exaggerated plating of trendy restaurants, but every bite is the soul of Tuscany.🍴 📍 Via del Porcellana, 41R, 50123 Firenze FI ⏰ Lunch: 12:00-15:00; Dinner: 19:00-23:00 ⚠️ There will be a break during August summer vacation, so don't go in vain! 😋 Must-try List ▪️IGP certified Florence top Chianina steak🥩 It's nearly 30% cheaper than trendy restaurants! A 1kg T-bone steak is enough for two people to share. It's crispy outside and tender inside with a charcoal aroma. Remember to ask for medium-rare to enjoy the juiciness. (The kitchen can reheat it, but don't overcook it.) ▪️Crab handmade thick pasta🦀️ The fresh handmade thick Italian pasta is covered with a rich sauce, and you can also taste fresh crab meat! The portions of pasta, crab, and cherry tomatoes are also generous. 💰 Ordering Tips ▫️Lunch budget package (limited to 12-15) 14€ for a combination of main course and main dish (random Tuscan home-cooked dishes) + water and a quarter liter of house wine +1€ for an espresso +4€ for dessert ▫️Recommended dinner packages ✔️Seafood lovers choose the 33€ package: fried fish platter + rocky flavor seafood pasta with various seafood such as clams and mussels ✔️Meat lovers go for the 48€ package: Tuscan cold cuts appetizer platter + 500g top Chianina steak (Both packages include water, dessert, and coffee, and are available for a minimum of two people; there are also 35€ and 40€ affordable steak packages) 💡Real Experience Tips 1️⃣A 2€ cover charge includes unlimited refills of still or sparkling water, and the waiter will ask for your preference. 2️⃣The tiramisu is moist to perfection, and the chestnut pudding with caramel has a surprising layer of flavor. 3️⃣It is recommended to make a reservation in advance, as there may be queues on weekends. 4️⃣The steak is priced by weight when ordered separately. Confirm the price before ordering. (We ordered a 1kg Chianina steak and crab pasta, and the per capita cost was 43€, which was very satisfying.) 5️⃣The open kitchen allows you to "supervise" the cooking.😆 Sitting under the rugged stone arches, watching the Italian grandfather at the next table wipe up the last bit of sauce with bread, I suddenly understood the true meaning of what the Tuscans say, "Mangia bene, vivi meglio" (Good food makes life better). #FoodHunting #FoodieSpot #Florence #FlorenceTravel #FlorenceInDepthTravel #FlorenceFood #FlorenceRestaurant #FlorenceMustEat #Tuscany #EuropeTravelTips #FoodEveryday #FoodKnowsNoBoundaries
