Osteria Tripperia Il Magazzino - Review - Oltrarno - Florence - The Infatuation

"Here’s a quick cow stomach lesson for you: Don’t confuse lampredotto, the cow’s fourth stomach and Florence’s famous street food, for tripe. Lampredotto, which resembles roast beef visually and is less chewy than tripe, is typically cooked in an aromatic broth, then chopped up and stuffed in a panino. It's often topped with herb and chili sauce and sold at kiosks around the city. Magazzino is the only osteria in Florence that does this kind of street food in a more formal restaurant, along with some interesting fusiony dishes. Come for dinner to try ravioli packed with seasoned lampredotto and topped with a sweet onion sauce, and bites like tempura fried lampredotto sushi. The restaurant feels like most traditional Tuscan restaurants with rustic furnishings, vintage photos lining the walls, and neighborhood-specific coat of arm-like flags." - Coral Sisk
