Ristorante Trattoria da Burde

The 22 Best Restaurants In Florence - Florence - The Infatuation

"You’re not going to stumble into Da Burde. It’s closer to the airport than Michelangelo’s David, but it’s worth the trek for some really good Florentine cuisine, unabashedly served only for lunch (and for dinner on Friday). The family behind it has been running the place since 1901, and the current generation is just as feisty as the last. Once you step inside, you’ll be greeted by a delicatessen counter and grocery corner for those who want to drop in for some to-go cured meats, a slice of cake, or some gossip about just how long Florence will take to build their next train line. Go a little further and you’ll enter the dining room that’s full of really old art on the walls and locals snacking on chicken liver crostini. They do hearty Tuscan classics justice, like pasta e fagioli, ribollita, mixed-meat bollito (expect a bit of cow tongue), and pappa al pomodoro." - coral sisk, georgette jupe
