Zibibbo Florence, Italy

Located in the Careggi zone, this small restaurant provides genuine, traditional Tuscan food ignoring current fads. Through a rather spartan entrance that brings to mind a village shop, you reach a large room with red, varnished wooden flooring, blue chairs and modern, refined lamps. The menu consists of classical items such as pasta, chickpeas, minestrone, mussels, risotto with saffron, meat lasagna, squid, roast pork, and cod in a red sauce. Wines are all of local origin.
