I due scorpioni In Cerreto guidi

30/06/2025: The sign recalls the times when the tram in Florence already existed, at least until 1956, with all its romantic aura, certainly very different from the wires for the air of today (once the rods that gave electricity were called trolleys). On the walls of the small and charming place some photos recall those years in a choreography in which the long ... presentation of (empty) wine flasks somehow underlines the Tuscan tradition linked to vineyards, vats and scents of festive and singing harvests. Few tables, essential spaces, pleasant house wine (1/2 liter in a carafe branded 'tranvai"). The boiled meat remade is also good (very) and of a generous portion (in a hot pan), like the linguine all'arrabbiata... just the right amount of anger. A slice of apple pie (which we prefer without cinnamon), two bottles of water, bread, a strong coffee made with the Moka. Place setting, with a paper tablecloth but a large cloth napkin (2 E), final bill 62 Euro (for 2 people), price more or less aligned with the 'typical' medium-high range. Kind and attentive service from the waitress (who we know, but still worthy of mention). A/C, and a small outdoor seating area on the street towards the garden part of Piazza Tasso, a 15 minute walk from Ponte Vecchio in the Oltrarno (area adjacent to the Basilica del Carmine, with the magnificent frescoes by Masaccio). Frequented mainly by Florentines regulars, but also tourists, not just passing through. Nice place. In the evening, with the 38 degrees that we are finding ourselves in these days of late June, maybe even more.

27/06/2025: This centrally located restaurant in Florence serves first-class Tuscan specialties with compelling flavors. In summer, a small outdoor area offers a pleasant place to relax. The team was always friendly and prompt with service.
