Next Tuesday's Top Ten

Ristorante1.jpg

 

I was going to give you a list of my Top Ten Italian restaurants, but that was before I got here.  By our very haphazard way of finding places to eat, I don't think I can come up with ten. 

We did wander around south of the Arno this afternoon -- ignoring the Pitti Palace -- until we came upon Jason's recommendation of Trattoria 4 Leoni. (The only Trattoria Cibrio we could find, Jason, was north of the river.)

Anyway, instead I'm going to make it a list of Top Ten Things You Need to Know About Eating in a Restaurant in Italy. Save it for when you get here.

Sorry, Cibreo is North of the River, but a little away from the Tourist center. In addition to 4 Leoni, there are a number of small, non-touristy trattorias
which are terrific. At 4 Leoni I highly recommend the pear pasta "fiochetti" with Teleggio Asparagus sauce, and the Trippa alla Fiorentina (if you're into that sort of thing...I loved their version).
