"Located in what historically was a walled garden plot belonging to the nuns of Santa Verdiana, this contemporary neighborhood trattoria on the doorstep of the Sant’Ambrogio market has a little something for everyone. For vegetarians, there’s the pane carasau (Sardinian flatbread) layered like millefoglie with smoked eggplant and whipped burrata, while omnivores can enjoy grilled meat with buttery roast potatoes, amberjack-stuffed pasta with crispy squash blossoms and salmon roe, butter and anchovy Tuscan pici (udon-like pasta), and squab glazed with pomegranate reduction. Ingredients are sourced from the market butchers and produce vendors, along with local cheeses from artisans in the Chianti countryside. Best for: Groups that include both picky eaters and gourmands." - Coral Sisk
