It's so delicious that I had to go back for seconds right there!

Dining Experience in Florence ❶ Bread and Aperitif 🌟 Bread: The sourdough was great, but the onion bread rolls were even better—light and fluffy. Aperitif: The slightly sparkling drink was very refreshing and a great start to the meal. ❷ Truffle Cream Pasta 🌟🌟 Truffle Cream Pasta: This was the highlight of the evening. The pasta was incredibly creamy with a rich truffle aroma. The effort of waiting in line for an hour was totally worth it! The dish is made tableside by a cart, and it seems to be a must-order for every table. ❸ Braised Beef Cheese Tagliatelle 🌟 Braised Beef Cheese Tagliatelle: The beef was large, tender, and flavorful, almost overshadowing the pasta. The wide noodles were perfectly coated with the sauce, and the fresh, handmade pasta was chewy and delicious. ❹ Vegetable Salad Vegetable Salad: Simple but necessary for some fiber intake. ❺ Red Wine Beef with Mashed Potatoes Mashed Potatoes: Smooth and creamy. Beef: While not as impressive as a steakhouse's offering, it was still quite tasty. ❻ Tiramisu 🌟 Tiramisu: A bit on the sweet side, but acceptable. An interesting twist was the use of cream puffs instead of ladyfingers, served with vanilla ice cream. It was a refreshing take on the classic dessert. ❼ After-Dinner Drink After-Dinner Drink: A small, sweet liqueur was provided as a complimentary drink. It was so good that there seemed no need to order anything else. ❽ Truffle Duck Cheese Pasta 🌟 Truffle Duck Cheese Pasta: This dish featured a large sheet of pasta rolled around the filling. The meat was flavorful, and the pasta was a delightful addition. ❾ Octopus Leg ❌ Octopus Leg: The only disappointment. The outer layer was overly charred and salty. Additional Notes Initial Visit: I had seen the truffle cream pasta online and was determined to try it. Unfortunately, I forgot to make a reservation and ended up waiting in line for an hour. Many people ahead of us gave up, but we persevered and were rewarded with a great meal. Revenge Ordering: Once seated, we ordered everything we wanted, even though we were worried about not finishing it all. In the end, everything was so delicious that we cleaned our plates. My friend Nini decided to come back for lunch the next day. I even managed to book another reservation when I realized it was still available. Wine Mix-Up: On the first night, I accidentally ordered two glasses of red wine instead of white. Neither of us had had red wine in ages, and it was quite astringent. By the end of the meal, it was too dry to drink. I recommend sticking with white wine or enjoying the complimentary aperitif. Comparison with the UK: After eating some less-than-satisfactory meals in the UK, I was reminded how delicious Italian food can be. It was a comfort to indulge in such flavorful dishes.
