"Though Ciabattini is a relative newcomer, the restaurant has quickly gained momentum as one of Florence’s most noteworthy contemporary trattorias dedicated to skillfully honoring classics using premium ingredients. Expect Tuscan street food like lampredotto on Parmigiano waffles or boiled beef-stuffed pasta topped with burrata, ricotta and spinach gnudi covered in homestyle tomato sauce, hand-rolled fettuccine, steaks, and grilled calamari with truffles, plus cocktails and Italian wines. Know before you go: While it’s cliche to call out culinary gems far from the tourist-packed main squares, it’s true in the area of Porta al Prato." - Coral Sisk
