"Eating and drinking well near the Duomo isn’t impossible thanks to places like Coquinarius. This bistro with a vintage feel is perfect for diners who treat wine as the main course and food as the garnish. The selection is ample (almost overwhelming if you don’t ask for help) and constantly renewed with hard-to-find wines. Pair your glass with pastas like burrata-filled ravioli in pistachio pesto, comfort food classics like wine-braised beef cheek and whipped potatoes, various tartare options with salads, or charcuterie platters and crostini. A second location in Fiesole is a good stop if checking out the Roman and Etruscan ruins in the scenic town perched above Florence." - Coral Sisk
