Europe Italy Florence Dining La Buchetta Food & Wine Restaurant

Overview

La Buchetta Food & Wine Restaurant

The guide was updated: 2024-09-13

Located next to the Vecchio bridge, La Buchetta, though a bit pricey, delivers one of the best dining experiences in Florence. There isn't anything you can't go wrong with on the menu here, but we highly recommend the tender Florentine steak and the melts-in-your-mouth angels and demons gnocchi, both to be accompanied by an excellent wine suggested by the friendly waiters.

I’Trippaio Fiorentino

I’Trippaio Fiorentino

If you want to experience the rustic taste of Florence, you must try lampredotto, a cured meat made from the fourth and final stomach of a cow. Its taste is strong and does not leave space for grey zones: love it or hate it. This very typical product is usually eaten in big sandwiches sold in the street by trucks or wagons called "trippai".
