Osteria del Gatto e la Volpe, Florence

If you're seeking an authentic Tuscan dining experience that combines a casual and intimate atmosphere with very reasonable prices, this hidden gem – a short stroll away from the Bargello or Santa Croce – is the place for you.

Firstly, the staff here is incredibly friendly and accommodating, and are happy to guide you through the menu, providing explanations and offering excellent recommendations. The menu itself is always diverse and enticing, featuring a range of options such as pasta, gnocchi, wood-fired pizzas, and the renowned Florentine steak. A standout highlight is their homemade syrupy balsamic vinegar, which is a true gem and one of the finest you'll ever taste. Don't miss the opportunity to pair it with their olive oil and freshly baked bread, which are remarkable in their own right. Be sure to save room for the delectable homemade desserts, too, as they ARE worth every calorie.

To top it off, the Tuscan wine is eminently drinkable, and the staff will provide you with excellent advice on which selection complements your meal best. You may even receive complimentary shots of limoncello or grappa at the conclusion of your meal, adding an extra touch of warmth and generosity to your visit.
