Francesco Vini
€€
TUSCAN
Built on top of Roman ruins, this wine specialist has two entrances - one with pavement
terrace on people-busy Borgo de' Greci and a second, lovelier one on a hidden, quintes-
sentially Florentine square. Winter dining is in a bottle-lined space. The wine list, jam-
packed with Tuscan greats, is sensational.
