Osteria Nuvoli

The 35 Best Restaurants in Florence, Italy | Eater

"Not far from the Duomo, Nuvoli is one of Florence’s remaining vinaino, wine sellers who also serve simple snacks. Housed inside a 200-year-old palazzo (including a basement level that dates back to the 1100s), the business has been run by the Nuvoli family since 1986 and has become a popular hangout for locals. Lunch service includes boar pappardelle, ribollita, slow-cooked stews, and charcuterie boards, but the real culinary gems are the crostini, housed in a case on ground level. Smeared with chicken liver, truffle, artichokes, raw sausage, and other options, the toasts make optimal aperitivo snacks. Vibe check: It’s mostly standing room and bar stool seating." - Coral Sisk
