L’Osteria di Giovanni
Our number-one choice for Florentine dining is – insert drum roll – this wonderfully friendly neighbourhood eatery, where everything is delicious and where the final reckoning will be within most budgets. Many opt to start with the house antipasto (a plate of salami, fresh ricotta and crostini with liver pâté) and lardo (marinated pork fat), move onto a plate of homemade pasta (perhaps with porcini mushrooms and black truffles) and then forge ahead with a milk-fed veal chop with roasted cherry tomatoes or a sensational bistecca alla fiorentina. Make sure you ask about daily specials, particularly desserts.

Caffè Italiano Sud
Chef Umberto Montano’s ode to southern Italy brings a breath of fresh air into a local food scene that can suffer from being too inward-looking. Loads of homemade pasta – including unusual dishes from his native Puglia – and other typical dishes from the south can be eaten in or taken away. There are also plenty of vegetarian options (unusual in this meat-obsessed region) and pizzas from Osteria del Caffè Italiano’s pizzeria.

Accademia Ristorante
There aren’t too many decent eateries in this area, which is one of the reasons why this family-run restaurant is perennially packed. Factors such as friendly staff, cheerful decor and consistently good food help, too. The set menu of antipasto toscana, a raviolo with porcini mushrooms or truffles, spaghetti in a spicy sauce, and bistecca alla fiorentina with oven-roasted potatoes (€30) is excellent value.

Ristorante Le Fonticine
Named for the 16th-century fountain by Luca della Robbia that is just to the right of the entrance, this popular eatery features the same checked tablecloths, painting-filled walls, serving trollies and – dare we say it – waiters that have been here since it opened in 1959. The huge menu features excellent homemade pasta and the best crema di mascarpone (mascarpone cream) in town.

Belvedere Caffé
The charming Belvedere Caffé, which is set in a loggia overlooking the Florentine skyline, is a wonderful spot for a light lunch or afternoon tea.
