"La verdad es un sitio un poco escondido en el mercado de San Lorenzo en Florencia, pero una comida casera, fresca y de muy buena calidad. Además muy barato, porciones grandes y la verdad todo lo que he probado buenísimo. Hemos probado el reposo con patatas y lasagna ai spinaci. No es un lugar muy conocido pero merece la pena pasarse, además hay bastante sitio a la hora de la comida. Totalmente recomendado."
