Local Restaurants in Florence

Trattoria da Ginone: A Hidden Gem in Florence While we've been visiting various century-old, Instagram-famous restaurants, Trattoria da Ginone was the most surprising find in Florence. This place is truly local—no English-speaking waitstaff and no tourists. It's a favorite among local residents.😻😻😻 1️⃣ Chicken Liver Pâté on Bread : A classic Florentine appetizer, rich and flavorful.❤️❤️❤️ 2️⃣ Beef Tongue with Olive Oil : So delicious that we ordered an extra portion. The texture was tender and the flavor was outstanding. 3️⃣ Beef Cheek Braised in Red Wine : The meat was incredibly tender and full of flavor, melting in your mouth. 4️⃣ Black Truffle Beef Tartare with a Soft-Boiled Egg Yolk : The combination of the truffle and the creamy yolk was exquisite. 5️⃣ Tripe Penne : Not your usual meat sauce, this pasta features a rich sauce made from tripe.😀😀😀 6️⃣ T-Bone Steak : A staple in Florence, but this one stood out. Made from a local, ancient breed of white cattle, the steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection—aromatic and not overly rare, unlike some other places.🥩🥩🥩 7️⃣ Fried Beef Brains : A unique and rare dish, surprisingly delicate and creamy, with no off-putting flavors. 8️⃣ Caramel Pudding : A homemade dessert that's a must-try, with a rich caramel flavor and a smooth texture.
