Florence is awash with great, fabulous restaurants. Ones we ate at on our last trip included--
La Hosteria da Mimmi, beyond the Medici Chapel, is buzzing at lunchtime [1pm-3pm]. Farro soup and pork roast fabulous
I Fratelini, literally a hole-in-the-wall, 2 blocks from Piazza Signoria towards Piazza della Repubblica, on Via Cimiterio. wondrous panini and wine. On-site over 100 years

OLTRANO -- across Ponte Vecchio
Celestino -- about 150 feet on the left from bridge, Vasari Corridor goes over it. Ask for & tell the owner Bruno that WebVisionItaly sent you before you order. Bruno may then plan your luch/dinner as he did for us: tagliarini with trufles, bistecca fiorentina, macedonia di fruta, vin santo. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes

across Ponte Vecchio. on the right, take Borgo San Iacopo,
Mamma Gina about 50 feet on your left. Prides itself on giving its clientele an authentic Tuscan experience. Their goal is to have customers experience their amazing wine cellar which is priced so that everyone can taste fine wines, not just the well-healed wine enthusiast . They believe eating is an entire experience. Tell them WebVisionItalycom sent you and you will be treated as family

Teatro del Sale has been open for years...so it is hardly the "latest marvel" as the Motorino man/Web Vision booster/Remus has written.
And, Web Vision Man, if you are going to be plugging those videos, at least learn to spell:
It is OLTRARNO, (other side of the Arno River) not OLTRANO.

When we were in Florence 2 years ago, we ate 3 times at a wonderful little restaurant called
"Lo Scudo". The food was delicious and inexpensive. It's located behind the Duomo at Via dell' Oriuolo, 53/55r. There's a good review of it on SlowTrav.

Yet another vote for La Giostra. the prince who started the restaurant passed away last year, but his son has continued the tradition and the restaurant has maintained its (well deserved) reputation. The service was lovely and the food was wonderful. True, it is not cheap but eating there is a great experience and, after all, you're in Florence!
