Il Brindellone

On Piazza Piattellina, in the middle of San Frediano, Il Brindellone works as a trattoria for the neighbourhood, in a district where craftspeople remain more numerous than tourists. Its kitchen keeps to plain Florentine cooking: bollito, roast meats and pasta e fagioli. The dining room is lively with the unhurried chatter of regulars, people who have kept coming back for years.
