Florence- Christmas Eve Dinner
 

Any recommendations for dinner on Christmas Eve? Our hotel recommended a place but it has mixed reviews online and appears very touristy (likely hard to avoid though on the holiday). Would love suggestions, looking ideally for seafood/pasta.

I ate at La Giostra the last time in Florence, and it was superb pasta and seafood, and a real neighborhood feel to the place. Here's the link to a review I posted on a blog: http://tinyurl.com/c5kyqfu

What was the place recommended by your hotel?

Il Cestello

Just got back from Florence, yesterday. I know that I'm not addressing your specific request for seafood, but if you get the chance to try either of these places, we enjoyed both:
