Trattoria Da Ruggero
This simple, family style restaurant promises some of the most impressive “Rustic Tusca” cuisine in the area. Known for their fantastic white bean dishes and the Ribollita, fresh pasta, soups, fantastic antipasto starters, braised pork dishes, and seafood risotto. They also have a simple yet delicious selection of Tuscan wines. Always ask what the chef or waiters suggest to go with your meal, as they are very good at recommending wines that bring out the flavors in the meal you’re having. This is a real locals’ place, so you need to make reservations. Located by the Roman gate (Porta Romana), about a 20 minute walk from Piazza della Signoria across the Arno. €20-25 per person.
