Antica Trattoria da Tito

Antica Trattoria da Tito is an unfussy, long-running restaurant, which opened the doors of its lively and welcoming dining room for the first time in 1913. It offers all Florentine classics and some variations, plus daily specials and a great choice of Tuscan wines, all for reasonable prices and in a friendly atmosphere, with scrawled messages on the walls.

Dining

Florentine cuisine is known throughout the country for its combinations of fresh ingredients proceeding from its extended countryside. As in any other city of Italy, there are some local specialities that you simply cannot miss, like the ribollita (a sort of minestrone), pappa al pomodoro (tomato soup), and the famous bistecca Fiorentina (Florentine t-bone steak). Tuscanian cuisine also has delicious starters, including crostini and bruschetta (toasted bread with various kinds of toppings). Lastly, be sure not to miss cantucci with vin santo (crunchy almond biscuits to be dunked in a sweet Italian dessert wine) when you long for something sweet!
