Pizzeria Lo Spuntino In Firenze

23/08/2024: Found this restaurant on the Fork, but couldn’t book for one. Found their website and booked there, but got no confirmation so decided to turn up regardless: really wanted to try this place as they have Lampredotto ( If you don’t eat tripe. don’t ask). Got there early and they found my request - however they were very friendly and efficient and eould have found a way to accomodate me regardless. The staff is all young, efficient and friendly. I started with anexcellent fresh orange-fennel- radicchio salad just to get my vitamins in. ( actually wuite a few vegetarian/vegan dishes available). Folliwed that with a ramekin of cannellini beans dressed in olive oil and pepper ( next time I’ll sk them to add some chppped garlic) a half portion of lampredotto and another half portion of peposo- a melt in your mouth beef stew with lots of pepper in it. Perfect! The half portions were really plentiful. meanwhile people ayound me were ordering Tbone steaks left right and centre…zi need to come bacl in company: a galfway decent Bistecca Fiorentina needs to be at least 500-700g possibly more… Tried the house wines: one glass of Chianti, one of Sangiovese and one of Bolgheri. All 3 good- I preferred the Bolgheri, but that’s very subjective. Finishing off with in-house baked Cantucci with vinsanto and a coffee.

03/08/2024: Nice discovery in the center of Florence. Top Tuscan food, welcoming and air-conditioned environment, they have an excellent choice of dishes and you can create your own cutting board. The very good Florentine steak served in hot cast iron (I really appreciated it). Super friendly service. I will come back to taste the first courses because the pasta is homemade. I recommend Mattacena
