Alla Vecchia Bettola

Out on the viali near Piazza Tasso, where the Oltrarno shades into San Frediano, Alla Vecchia Bettola is distant enough from the centre that tourists rarely reach its door. The kitchen cooks Florentine food without compromise, bold in flavour and tied to the seasons, and its ragù simmers away for a whole morning. Tables are shared and laid with paper placemats.
