Osteria La Porta del Chianti In Impruneta

08/04/2025: A very Italian restaurant that I entered for the first time. I think this is a fun restaurant for people who want to enjoy local food. Two women from the shop come to take your order. English menus are always available, so ordering is easy. However, there are some things that are meaningless just by their names. The lunch menu has three dishes to choose from and costs 13 euros per person, plus coperto. Bottled water is cheap and only costs 1 euro. On this day, the two of us had tomato sauce risotto and squid ink risotto first. For second, a thin steak and Florentine tripe. The sidedish is fried zucchini and a Mediterranean salad. The first one felt like it was a bit too much. The squid ink was a little salty. I want to try a different menu next time.

It felt like a small slice of Italy, where every meal was an invitation to savor the rich and vibrant culture. The portions served were generously ample, ensuring that no one would leave feeling hungry. Each dish was crafted with care, bursting with flavors that reflected the essence of genuine Italian cuisine. One of the standout features of this delightful eatery was their desserts, which were simply to die for! Each sweet treat was a masterpiece, perfectly balancing flavor and indulgence, leaving a lasting impression on my taste buds. Whether you are exploring Florence or are a local looking to relish some authentic Italian fare, this restaurant is truly a hidden gem that should not be missed!
