When in Florence, I will eat as the Florentines eat. And by
that I mean a steak. Our friend Melissa and I shared a Florentine steak for two
last night at Trattoria 13 Gobbi in Florence. Just around the corner from Piazza
Santa Maria Novella, the restaurant is one of my favorites and the steak was
out of this world.
Four our last cena (dinner) in Italy, Melissa and I ate at
the Il Canneto Ristorante in the hotel. It’s a gourmet restaurant and the food
is always delicious. I started with the Caesar salad, which has pollo
(chicken), pancetta (bacon), and aciuggie (anchovies). My pasta was called
tagliatelle alla Meditereaneo. It featured olive tagliate (chopped olives), caperi
(capers), formaggio Grecia (feta cheese), pancetta (bacon), and cipolle
(onions) in a saugo di pomodoro (tomato sauce). Melissa started her meal with a
caprese salad, and a continued with a spicy penne arrabiata. We then shared the
best chocolate mousse we’ve ever eaten.
