Cozy Little Restaurant Outside City Center
We went to La Scarpetta for a light dinner, being vegetarian they had several items on the menu. We had the eggplant parmigiana and the cheeses with home made jams. Both were fantastic! Our waiter was so nice, we ended up chatting with him for a while.
The cheesecake we had for dessert was amazing. Would highly recommend.

The waiter was friendly and explain to us how they cook Bistecca alla Fiorentina. We worried it will be too raw but it turns out just nice. We were really satisfied with our dinner.

My meal was very good (eggplant and meatballs), but unfortunately, the spaghetti my friend had was a bit too salty. The atmosphere isn’t particularly romantic, but the host is very kind and funny. The restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, so there aren’t many tourists around - which is a plus.

had dinner there on our night of arrival. it is not the 'tourist' area so quiet dinner with the locals in the know. not many tables thus booking recommended especially in tourist season. great food. great service. well worth the price. more upmarket. note it is Cucina Toscana (Tuscan kitchen). authentic food with a chef's inspiration.
