TRATTORIA BORDINO

Located less than a 100 m away from the Ponte Vecchio this centralli located trattoria is excellent value for money. You will find it on a narrow street called Via Stracciatella, to the left of Piazza di S. Felicita, between the Ponte Vecchio and the Palazzo Pitti. In a rustic Tuscan decor, they serve set menus - entree and a main - for as little as 7 euros and a very nice Florentine steak and salad for 10 euros. All this at lunch time. A la carte dining at more than reasonable prices as well. Their soups are superb and for those who love sweets their desert table is more than tempting. They have a website with an English translation It was recommended to us by one of the Ponte Vecchio jewellers who has lunch there on a daily basis and we were not disappointed. We keep on going back and you will find that the percentage of local people is very high. They have a special round table for single customers, which is an excellent idea if you are going on your own. Also, we were there with our little dog and they had no objections. I guess that larger dogs may be a problem, particularly if they go insane with the delicious smell of the Florentine steak.Website: www.trattoriabordino.itPhone number:
