A local restaurant in Florence where I tried fried beef brains.

Trattoria da Ginone: A Hidden Gem in Florence While we've been visiting various century-old, trendy spots every day, this restaurant is the most astonishing one we've found in Florence. The waitstaff doesn't speak English, and there are no tourists—only locals recommend this place. 1️⃣ Chicken Liver Pâté on Bread: A classic Tuscan appetizer that's creamy and flavorful. 2️⃣ Olive Oil Beef Tongue: So delicious that we ordered an extra portion. It's tender and infused with the rich taste of olive oil. 3️⃣ Wine-Braised Beef Cheek: The meat is fall-apart tender and full of flavor from the slow cooking in red wine. 4️⃣ Black Truffle Beef Tartare: Served with a soft, runny yolk in the center, adding a luxurious touch to the dish. 5️⃣ Tripe Penne: Not your usual meat sauce, but a rich, flavorful sauce made from tripe. 6️⃣ T-Bone Steak: We've been having this almost every day, as it's a staple in many restaurants. But this one stands out. It's made from a local, ancient breed of white cattle, and the steak is perfectly aged and grilled to a delightful tenderness without being too rare, unlike some other places. 7️⃣ Fried Beef Brains: This is quite unique and not commonly found on menus. It's surprisingly delicate, with no off-putting flavors, almost like eating creamy goodness. 8️⃣ Caramel Pudding: Another dessert that's widely available, but this homemade version is particularly delightful.🍮 This place truly offers an authentic Florentine dining experience, away from the tourist crowds. #ItalianCuisine #FlorenceDelights #Florence #ItalianTravel
