Nestled in the heart of Florence on Corso dei Tintori, Ristorante del Fagioli invites you to savor true Tuscan flavors in a warm and unpretentious atmosphere. Known for its hearty and authentic dishes, this charming restaurant offers a diverse menu that caters to both meat lovers and vegetarians alike.
Starters
Begin your meal with traditional Tuscan starters that embody rustic simplicity and bold flavors. Try the celebrated Ribollita, a soul-warming soup crafted with thick bread, fresh vegetables, and hearty beans. Alternatively, indulge in Pappa al Pomodoro — a comforting blend of ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and bread, served warm to evoke the essence of Tuscan countryside cooking.
Mains
The mains showcase classic Tuscan craftsmanship at its finest. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a majestic T-bone steak seasoned simply with salt and grilled to a perfect medium rare, celebrated as one of Florence’s culinary treasures.
Pasta lovers will delight in the handmade Pici with tomato sauce and Pappardelle also dressed in a rich tomato sauce — both dishes maintaining a light, fresh quality that honors traditional Tuscan preparation. For something uniquely indulgent, the Pear and Pecorino Ravioli combines delicate pasta parcels with the sweet tang of pear and the sharp creaminess of pecorino cheese.
For those seeking a savory slow-cooked delight, the Ossobuco alla Fiorentina presents tender veal shank braised with tomato sauce and vegetables, embodying the heart of Tuscan comfort food. Complement your plate with traditional sides like Tuscan White Beans sautéed with garlic and olive oil, fresh spinach prepared in the same rustic style, or a creamy sweet potato mash finished with butter and salt.

End your meal on a sweet note with classic Tuscan desserts. The Apple Cake is a moist and fragrant treat made from fresh apples, flour, sugar, eggs, and butter — perfect for those craving a comforting homemade flavor.
