l'Oste e la massaia In Sesto fiorentino

08/12/2024: I have known him since 1967. Of course then with many changes. Strategic position, in front of Palazzo Vecchio, on the side the Loggia de' Lanzi, the Biancone in front, the ...Cellini, the Rape of the Sabine Women: in short, the secular monumental heart of the city (the religious one is around the Duomo, a little further on). Panoramic covered terrace, looking towards Palazzo Vecchio, perhaps trying to ignore the 'famous' cranes of the Uffizi beyond the Loggia de' Lanzi, now sedentary for 20 years, cutting the sky and panorama, but which at least at night are almost invisible. Very popular, good pastry shop, equally good coffee, comfortable tea room, sheltered terrace, prompt service. Compliant prices (well readable); coffee (at the counter) macchiato 1.50, 'yeast' (brioche, of '...generous size') more than appreciable, 1.50, and a glass of water offered.
