We eat out a lot on holiday:
places that we have researched in advance,
recommendations from locals,
menus that catch our eye.
My best meal during our week in Florence
was a spur of the moment choice:
Il Santino on Via Santo Spirito.
Il Santino is a tiny wine bar
attached to a well known restaurant,
Osteria del Santo Bevitore.
We stopped for a light Sunday lunch:
a tomato salad, glass of wine, good bread.
The food is freshly prepared in front of you
and the wine is chosen according to what you eat.
There was a curiously zen atmosphere,
very peaceful and relaxing.
We read 'Il Messagero'
and planned our week in Florence.
I finally permitted myself to breathe out
during that hour perched on cafe chairs.
I can't promise Il Santino will transform your life too
but I can definitely recommend
the tomato and mozzarella salad.

ReplyDeleteMaybe the names of the place and street have something to do with the peaceful atmosphere..?
