One of the city’s oldest and best-known buche. The kitchen is on show, a typical Tuscan and country atmosphere, posters hanging from the walls and describing the restaurant’s history, the old days when cabmen stopped for a glass of wine or a portion of tripe served on newsprint. The heart and soul of the restaurant is owner Luciano Ghinassi, who carries on Tuscany’s culinary tradition with the restaurant being fully booked nearly every evening. The menu features a wide choice of dishes. Among the must-tries are barbecued steak, pasta and homemade desserts.
