Eby's
Via Sell' Oriuolo, 5r. (walking distance from el Duomo)
For those times you are just sick of Italian and are in the mood for some good Mexican food. Awesome burrito's, great fruity drinks and don't leave without trying their crepes.
La Via dell’ Acqua
Via dell’ Acqua 2.
Small restaurant near the touristy Acqua Al 2, with better food and few tourists. Easy walk from the Duomo, near Santa Croce. Gelateria Vivoli is nearby.
Le Volpi E L’Uva
Piazza dei Rossi 1 (By the Ponte Vecchio, on the road to Palazzo Pitti)
Even though there are wine bars galore, this one is exceptional with very reasonable prices. You will be served with the smile, left alone to enjoy the afternoon sounds or evening chatter.

Super fun! You have to be very hungry for this one! It very difficult to get in without a reservation or if you don’t arrive early, but definitely worth it. A lively experience not to miss. Don’t worry about ording off the menu, just go with the flow...and believe us, it flows.
Phone: 055/210916 (you can try to make a reservation, but may wait anyway). Go Hungry!
