Il Ristoro
€
TUSCAN
This two-room restaurant with deli counter is a great budget choice - its two-course €15
lunch deal is a steal. Pick from classics like
pappa al pomodoro
(thick bread and tomato
soup) or a plate of cold cuts, and swoon at views of the Arno swirling beneath your feet.

Trattoria Camillo
€€€
TRATTORIA
Crostini
(toasts with various toppings) topped with aphrodisiacal white- truffle shavings,
deep-fried battered green tomatoes or zucchini (courgette) flowers and homemade walnut
liqueur are a few of the seasonal highlights served beneath a centuries-old red-brick vaul-
ted ceiling at this much-loved trattoria. Exceptional quality and endearingly old-fash-
ioned service.

Il Guscio
€€€
Exceptional dishes come out of the kitchen of this family-run gem in San Frediano,
which is greatly loved by locals. Meat and fish are given joint billing on the menu; the
offerings are always tasty and often inspired.
