Il Guscio

The 35 Best Restaurants in Florence, Italy | Eater

"You could throw a rock in any direction and hit a good restaurant in Florence, but it’s a little harder to hit a place with remarkable wine offerings too. Il Guscio has been around since 1986 and has a menu that takes homestyle Tuscan and Italian classics to gourmet status, like gnudi dumplings made with scamorza and spinach pesto, or Maldon-salted sliced sirloin with julienned vegetables. The wine list is heavy on Tuscan wines balanced with an ample selection from around the country and abroad. Portions are hearty, so make sure you order to share, and save room for dessert, which is very much on point. Must-try dish: If you’re a fan of ‘nduja, split a plate of the paccheri if it’s on the menu." - Coral Sisk
