A hidden, affordable Michelin-starred restaurant favored by locals

I discovered a hidden gem in Florence, L'Ortone, which has been recommended by Michelin for three consecutive years (2022-2024)! It features "family legacy recipes + modern creativity." For just €30-50 per person, you can experience the soul of Tuscany, and the best part is that locals really do frequent this place!😀 🍽️ Must-try Tuscan specialties: - Tagliatelle al ragù di cinghiale (Wild Boar Ragu Tagliatelle) : A classic derived from traditional wild boar hunting culture. The handmade egg pasta is generously coated with rich meat sauce, and juniper bread crumbs add a delightful aroma. One bite and you're transported to the Tuscan countryside. - Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine T-bone Steak) : A pride of Tuscany! Made with local Chianina beef, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a hint of blood. Recommended for two people to share a 1kg steak—pair it with a glass of Chianti wine!😍 - Crostini Toscani (Tuscan Cold Cuts Platter + Crostini) : A must-have appetizer! Local air-dried ham from a Lucca butcher shop and chicken liver pâté on bread slices. It's savory and appetizing, a perfect accompaniment for drinking Italian-style. - Truffle Seasonal Specials : In autumn and winter, be sure to ask for the "Fuori Menù" (hidden menu)! Fresh truffles are shaved over handmade pasta or steak, releasing an irresistible aroma. Vegan-friendly: Pumpkin cheese dumplings with almond Parmesan sauce, simply amazing! 📍 Piazza Lorenzo Ghiberti 87/red ⏰ Operating Hours: Closed on Sundays♨️ Lunch: 12:15-14:30 Dinner: 19:00-22:30 In a nutshell: No need to crowd in the tourist areas! Here, you can enjoy "upgraded grandma's cooking" with Tuscan flavors at a homely price, all with Michelin standards. #Florence #Italy #ItalianCuisine #StudentFoodieAdventures #SavoringInternationalCuisine #HiddenGemRestaurants #Tuscany #FlorenceLocalGuide #Michelin #Foodie
