A formal wood-panelled restaurant whose simple, classic, mainly Tuscan formula has attracted a faithful clientele of politicians, journalists and artists since the days of la dolce vita. Pasta dishes range from the simple tortellini in brodo (pasta in broth) to the decadent tagliolini con tartufo bianco (pasta with white truffle). Meat, including the famous bistecca alla fiorentina, is grilled over a charcoal fire.

Biscotti (almond biscuits) are dipped in sweet vin santo (holy wine) for a traditional dessert.
