 Fresh fish in pleasant surroundings |
Via Bolognese, 66 Florence 50030 Italy +39 55 40 1433 |
This is a locally-owned restaurant and friendly too. It serves fresh fish at reasonable prices in a pleasant atmosphere and, in summer, on a cool terrace. The best dishes are crostini di pesce (bruschetta with fish), mussel soup, and spaghetti allo scoglio (spaghetti served with mixed seafood). Grilled skewered fish is also good, and orata (black sea bass) baked in parchment. Venus clams and lobster are available if booked in advance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dining in the Tuscan Countryside |
Via di Giogoli 16 Florence 50124 Italy +39 055 204 7922 http://www.fattoriailmilione.it/ |
The Osteria del Milione offers visitors to Florence the perfect opportunity to experience the countryside and dine outside the historic center. The menu features local and homemade ingredients, including their own meats, making for an excellent bistecca alla fiorentina (T-Bone steak typically served very rare and with a lemon wedge) and other Florentine specialties like pappa al pomodoro and ribollita. Expect homemade meals, local roasted game, and a lovely outdoor dining experience when the weather allows it. Buon appetito! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Enchanting atmosphere |
Piazza Unità Italiana, 6 Florence 50123 Italy +39 55 2 3580 |
On the roof garden of the Grand Hotel Baglioni we find this restaurant and piano bar which in summer becomes a real open air nightclub with its musical appointments. An enchanting atmosphere and from the small terraces adorned with large flowerpots, there are panoramic views of the whole city. A refined menu with specialties from Italy and abroad.

Dining al Fresco |
Via delle Cave 16 Florence 50016 Italy +39 055 59 133 http://www.trattoriacavedimaia... |
On warm summer evenings it is a pleasure dining al fresco under the Linden trees in the back garden of this old fashioned trattoria in the hills of Fiesole just outside Florence. Opened in 1897, the restaurant used to be a popular spot with the workers of the Maiano sandstone quarries (cave in Italian) that supplied the gray stone used to in many of the Renaissance Florentine buildings. The quarries are no longer in use but the restaurant remains a peaceful getaway. Regional cooking is highlighted with local fresh products and a great deal of attention to old, traditional recipes. Hot and cold crostini, "chicken under a brick" and grilled meat are delicious choices. -Maria Frullini Review © 2007, Wcities |
