This buzzing local, which has sat behind Piazza San Michele since 1960, is easy to spot -
come noon look for the crowd packed around two tiny tables inside, spilling out the door
or squatting on one of two street-side benches.
Cecina
and
castagnacci
are the raison

A veteran everyone

Canuleia

What makes this dining

peposa
(beef and pepper stew).
