Giannino In San Lorenzo. Historic Centre.

Anything of the places on the street where this restaurant is found are going to satisfy you. As long as we are all on this website that is all about the indie and authentic, it should be known that if you are looking for local or authentic, this is not it. You would be much better off trying out La Casalinga across the river.

Ribollita soup is a Tuscan specialty that all visitors should try. I found the best Ribollita to be at Giannino in San Lorenzo, just steps from San Lorenzo church, the Duomo, and Baptistery. For a cheaper meal, just order the soup and some bruschetta. Ribollita is a thick, hearty soup so it will fill you up. Other dishes at this restaurant were equally as good. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and ate dinner here multiple times.
