Florence
Alla Vecchia Bettola
Piazza Tasso
Florence, 50124 , Italy
With white tile walls, cured hams strung from the ceiling, and marble-topped wooden tables shared with other diners, Alla Vecchia Bettola is a classic Florentine osteria. The restaurant opened in 1979 as a way to preserve regional traditions that the owners saw slipping away. The simplicity of traditional antipasti from local producers, pasta made in-house, and quality house wine all make 'la Bettola' a local favorite. While it's a bit of a hike from the center of town (15 minutes by foot or a short cab ride), regulars say the authentic food is worth the trip.
Insider Tip:
If you decide to walk, make a reservation for an en route visit to Torrigiani Gardens, a marvelous 'secret' garden that's open to the public by appointment only.
