About a 40-minute drive from Florence, via Bagno a Ripoli, San Donato in Collina, Torri di Rignano sull'Arno. Beautiful countryside, still summery sunshine, magnificent light, hills covered in olive groves, vineyards laden with grapes ready for an exceptional vintage, clear roads, relaxing views.
Pampurio is essentially a grocery store, but also a trattoria-restaurant open for lunch. Closed on Tuesdays.
Tuscan cuisine, with some pleasant variations, well-presented menu. Prices are more than reasonable (the steak, for example, is €40/kg), the atmosphere is usually crowded, perhaps not a declaration of love (but that's not necessarily the case); fast service, half portions are available (full portions are more than generous).
Easy-to-digest food (a not insignificant plus), and allergy-friendly (please declare). Reservations are recommended on Saturdays and Sundays.
---
If you want to take some time to digest, and if it's a Saturday with no traffic, head towards Troghi and Figline Valdarno, returning to Florence via San Polo in Chianti or Greve. A relaxing drive through green villages and towns, perhaps even stopping for a stroll in search of porcini mushrooms, up towards the first chestnut woods—350 meters above sea level—now, as they say in the local dialect, the "second batch" should already be underway even at these latitudes (to enjoy the view of the cyclamen, however, you'll have to wait a little longer).
NB: The photo of the porcini mushrooms shown here is indicative: these were found by my friend Sergio, an 85-year-old mushroom hunter from Upper Lake Como, in the Pianello area and the surrounding mountains.

Di rientro da un viaggio verso Milano, abbiamo deciso di seguire il consiglio di un nostro amico e fermarci in questo autentico ristorante nelle vicinanze di Firenze. Mai scelta fu più azzeccata!! Siamo riusciti a trovare la genuinità e famigliarità in ogni piatto gustato, un vero tripudio di gusto ad ogni forchettata. Antipasto “Da Pampurio” eccezionale, deliziosi i primi piatti, soprattutto i pici. Ottima qualità prezzo. Fortemente consigliato!!

Good country trattoria. Food passable, some good, especially the first courses, some not so good. Nice surroundings.

Nice and welcoming atmosphere. Attentive and fast service. Very good and abundant food except for the desserts: tiramisu too dry and not soft on the surface, torn Portuguese milk, immersed in too much liquid and rubbery external crust.
For the rest, everything worthy of note, including the dish of the day (blueberry tagliolini on taleggio cream, crispy bacon and mushrooms). Highly recommended!

Wonderful restaurant, fast staff and service, essential and well-curated menu, tasty and well-loaded dishes, highly recommended the platter for 4 people containing cold cuts, cheeses and fried foods. Excellent pasta cooking and sauces, purple gnocchi highly recommended. Excellent grilled second courses. Minus point for desserts, Portuguese milk cooked incorrectly and hard and tasteless tiramisu. However, good price also for the Florentine steak, recommended.

Alimentari - country trattoria quite popular. Large room, from noon to 3 pm. Interesting menu based on Tuscan cuisine, very rich cutting board, some truly surprising dishes both in the first and second courses. Terrace in season. Home delivery. Parking. Large portions (but also served mezze). Reasonable prices. Prompt service. The apple pie is excellent as is the cheesecake with berries.
About 25 km from Florence, along beautiful country roads via Bagno a Ripoli, Rosano.
