Florence, Italy


TRATTORIA CIBREO

This is the sister restaurant of a high end establishment located around the corner. However, I had read that this venue had hearty and traditional fare. The food was plated as it would be at home. The ambiance was casual. The house wine was delicious. I was jet lagged and the meals somewhat of a blur, but was a solid start to my food journey in Italy!




RISTORANTE PERUCA

Also memorable to my stops in the region around Florence was experiencing a bistecca all Florentina!




The size of the steak is incredible in person! It covered a cutting board!


The other food at this restaurant is all not to be ignored.


Smoke was captured within this dome giving the  a fantastic flavor and presentation! 



Pasta stuffed with sheep cheese and pears covered with saffron cream and garnished with pine nuts.


Mackerel fish marinated in soy and balsamic vinegar with zucchini and carrot salad.

There was so much food that it is difficult to recall each dish individually, but everything was thoroughly enjoyed! I ordered as much a possible as they have a variety of popular plates and there was no disappointment. A great place to visit when in San Gimignano!
