The 35 Best Restaurants in Florence, Italy | Eater
"A treasure trove for natural wine lovers, Vineria Sonora combines a vinyl record store with a bar-bistro setting, featuring both DJs and winemakers. Nowhere else in Florence houses such an immense selection of minimal-intervention Italian wines, including plenty of obscure garage-based makers and cult favorites. The food features artisanal specialty ingredients from across the country, with a sprinkling of Calabria where owners Laura Giovinetti and Andrea Marsico hail from. Simple yet adventurous small plates include wild game tartares, roasted porchetta, rustic lasagna with wild boar, Calabrian chile ’nduja crostini, and seasonal accouterments like baked squash and artichokes. Giovinetti and Marsico also run a spillover bar across the street, Lato B (B-Side), which serves aperitivo with bar bites, vinyl records, and zines for sale. Know before you go: Keep an eye on the calendar for DJ nights and wine producer pop-ups." - Coral Sisk
