"In the heart of San Niccolo, just below the steps leading up to the panoramic Piazza Michelangelo square, is one of tastiest carb bars on the planet. Fresh cappellaci is the specialty at this mother-and-son operation, where it’s offered with a myriad of stuffings, like winter squash and ricotta, and toppings, like green kale pesto sauce or freshly shaved truffles, when in season. You’ll also find tavola calda-type offerings, like sliced roasted meats and caramelized vegetables, all with a unique Champagne and natural wine selection. Know before you go: Don’t ask too many questions and put your phone away if you want to stay in the good graces of your hosts." - Coral Sisk
