Trattoria Sostanza

“In every dish of the Osteria di Giovanni there is history. The history of a family: the one of Giovanni Latini and his love for catering. A tradition that began in 2004, Giovanni and his family opened the restaurant in Via del Moro, a few steps from Santa Maria Novella. The cuisine of this tavern is typically Tuscan, ribollita and soup of spelt and beans are a great classics that you can taste after the appetizer of Giovanni: cutting board with Tuscan ham and artisanal cured meats, crostini with liver and bruschetta with cabbage pesto, shepherd’s ricotta. In the second course, meat prevails, beef cut with mushrooms, the Florentine steak and the guinea fowl stuffed with his liver rolled with bacon. The desserts are all homemade (I love the Cheese Cake). In addition to the dessert of the day, there is always the drunk pear served with ice cream, pineapple carpaccio marinated in pink pepper syrup served with lemon ice cream or the most classic panna cotta. The cellar is well stocked, with labels that represent Italy from the North to the South. ”

“Extremely recommended if you want to try typical food and not very expensive”

“E' un posto davvero TOSCANO e non turistico. Consigliata la pizza cotta a legna. Tante offerte anche di carne e di pesce. Staff davvero simpatico!”

“Magic place, fantastic food, I choose this palace for my anniversary or family birthday! ”

“Beautiful shop, renovated in original style. The monks in 1400 used to make herbal medicine here and sell it in this pharmacy. One of the original scents is still made today. Even if you don't buy anything it is free to enter”
