Restaurants in Florence
February 18, 2009
Giuseppe and I love to cook but sometimes, after a long and exhausting day we love to treat us for a dinner out to taste good food and drink a good glass of wine. I like informal trattorias where a pair of jeans are fine, but sometimes I like to wear a nice dress, pretty shoes, and eat in a more elegant and cozy place.
In this case my choice is only one: the restaurant Alle Murate inside the old palace owned in the Renaissance period by the Lawyers and Notaries Art, in Via del Proconsolo, just behind the Cathedral. It’s within a walking distance from the Duomo and the old building with frescoes on the walls and the drawing of the real face of Dante Alighieri match perfectly with the modern eating room.
The choice of the dishes is great and I don’t really know what I can suggest: Giovanna is the chef (note that all the staff is composed by women!) and she deserves a standing ovation at the end of the meal.
You can try her marinated salmon, her soups, the anchovy’s pie, the pigeon or the steak with onion fondue and fried zucchini flowers. Desserts are all excellent.
I once tried a cappuccino mousse thinking that it was only good but at the end it was something really smart!
