"I simply cannot stop eating this addictive, rich snack."
"This famous Florentine trattoria celebrates Tuscan cuisine in all its glory, from ribollita soups to roast meat dishes."
on Ribollita
"Every trattoria boasts to have the best Fiorentina, but I have never found anywhere that compares with Il Latini. Definitely the best and biggest steak you will ever eat."
"Next came a plate of crostini topped with chicken liver pâté. I’ve had pâté before, but this Italian version was buttery, warm and delicious."
"What I considered to be the star of the show, the most delicious and savory perfectly cooked bistecca Fiorentina."
"Bistecca alla Fiorentina is one of the city’s signature dishes, but it has to be eaten in the right place. Somewhere like family-run Latini. Meat is the thing here, great hunks of it: The steak is served very rare with herby roast potatoes and white beans drizzled with the pungent house olive oil."
"Il Latini gives you three meat choices for the main course, but it's best known for its steak. The steak was the size of my face. The steak may have been big, but I can eat. And I ate almost all of it. I've never been more full and more happy after a meal."
"We got the Prosciutto with melon, which honestly was the best prosciutto I have ever tasted. Bright red, fresh, perfectly salty, flavorful and a great match with the fresh melon."
"Your first introduction to Il Latini’s prosciutto will be the copious spectacle of hundreds of hams hung from the ceiling. When it arrives on your plate later, with a bit of cantaloupe, it’s simply divine."
