I think the best dinner I had in Florence was the least expensive. The restaurant is called Palle d'Oro. It's just a few blocks off the Piazza Del Duomo in the direction of the Medici Chapel..sorry don't remember the street name. It was recommended by our B & B hosts. Don't be put off if there is a line to get in when you arrive. It moves quickly and the service and food were worth a short wait.

We liked the Cingale Bianco (white wild boar). Cross the Ponte Vecchio toward the Pitti Palace (opposite side of Arno from where your hotel is), turn right onto first street (Jacopo, I think). It's a couple of blocks down, left side of street. Appeared to be run by a family who knew many of the diners; great ambience and food. We made reservations around noon, by stopping by, for that evening.

Hey<BR><BR>Trattoria del Carmine, in Piazza Del Carmine, it's a bit of a way from where you are, but anywhere in Florence is quite easily accessible. I was there for a couple of weeks last year, and it was by far and away the best place I ate....and reasonably priced as well. Most of the travel books list this place as one of the best in Florence.<BR><BR>try anything with the gorganzola<BR>and drink plenty of wine<BR>HAve fun

We ate at a very nice, restaurant at the opposite end of the Ponte Vechio. <BR><BR>Do not recall the name, but as you cross the bridge coming from the Pitti Palace side, come off the bridge and turn right it is a short way, 25 yards perhaps, on the left. It was excellent!<BR><BR>US
