Some friends are visiting Florence this weekend, and they asked me for suggestions for bars and restaurants..Old faithful Serge was able to give me some good ideas: I due Fratellini (via dei Cimatori) remains an easy and charming option for a quick sandwich on the go, however I fear that the place has become a bit touristy ‘ino (via dei Georgofili 3r/7r) is another option for a quick panino and a table to sit at Trattoria Armando-(Borgo Ognissanti) was a recent discovery. I went there on my last trip, Serge and his girlfriend took us there. Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere cozy and relaxing. Also on Borgo Ognissanti is the panificio Palatresi does an amazing orzo (or riso) bollito con verdure e formaggio. Very simple, but incredibly good. And for a glass of wine (and maybe an overnight) with a stellar view of Florence? Hike up to the Torre di Bello Sguardo and enjoy life!
