what to do in florence
I am planning a trip to italy next year summer and i really want to check out florence. Is there any reccommendations on where to eat in florence to get really good food but not that expensive? A big food fan here.

Also the cafes in the central market and the Mercato San Ambroglio [near Santa Croce] have very good reasonably priced food. Typical Florentine dishes that I ate there were tomato and bread salad [very good] ribolata [a very good soup] and trip salad [might be good but is definitely an acquired taste].
Another speciality is the bistecca all fiorentina but to get a good one will not be cheap.
anything in/near one of the tourist hot-spots is likely to be expensive, ditto restaurants where they have linen tablecloths [which may be good] and/or people outside trying to entice you in [more likely not to be good, but you never know].
Chowhound is a good place to start for serious food recommendations:

We ate at Sostanza. It was a great place - small and a great vibe. The Butter Chicken, mmmmm. It was our favorite dinner in Florence.

I was just thinking the other day, Ack, that you and I have not crossed paths lately and so it is nice to run into you here!
SJ, I am trying to find the great recommendations we got, in real time, during our Oct. '12 trip to Florence, mostly from Stu Tower, and I just cannot make the search function work!
