"One of the most Florentine ways to enjoy artichokes appears here, where they are quartered and swirled into a farmstead egg frittata, emphasizing simple, seasonal ingredients and local traditions." - Coral Sisk

"This simple, typical trattoria (not to be confused with the more elegant Cibrèo restaurant next door) has long been one of the best places in Florence for anyone looking to enjoy delicious, traditional cuisine without spending a fortune. The menu features an array of dishes that have become firm favourites over the years, including unmissable classics such bread soup, lampredotto (a type of offal) stew, “Cassi”-style cod and cheesecake with bitter orange marmalade." - Michelin Inspector
"Cibrèo is a cluster of Tuscan eateries congregated at the gate of the city’s most genuine Florentine food quarter, Sant’Ambrogio. The restaurants were founded by culinary icon Fabio Picchi and Benedetta Vitali; after Picchi’s death in 2022, their son Giulio now oversees the business. Across six outposts, Cibrèo celebrates the region’s bounty and flavors while adhering to certain cornerstones of the Florentine and Tuscan repertoire. The offerings at the trattoria are dedicated to rustic Tuscan cooking, like rib-sticking soups, roasted game, and obscure offal preparations like stuffed chicken neck. Creativity shows through in the popular ricotta and potato sformatino souffle and in some out-of-the-box riffs on Florentine staples, like a budino made with turmeric and lemon Greek yogurt. Don’t come expecting pasta and pizza." - Coral Sisk
"Located at the heart of the buzzing Sant’Ambrogio market area, Cibrèo Trattoria occupies the annex to Cibrèo next door—the famous fine-dining mainstay on the city’s dining scene. Cibreino, as it’s known locally, does top-notch renditions of Florentine and Tuscan classics at a third of the price of its grown-up sister restaurant. Desserts are to die for, particularly the famous flourless chocolate cake. This place is great for an upbeat, food-focused evening with a small group (there are a couple of tables for four or six) or a date." - Nicky Swallow
