Pitti Gola e Cantina

Pitti Gola e Cantina is the one place worth visiting among the row of mediocre, touristy bars outside the Pitti Palace. It has been an excellent wine and foodie bookshop for some time, but has only recently become a wine bar where you can enjoy a snack or a light meal. Classic Tuscan dishes are on offer, as well as some more original delights such as the asparagus or artichoke flan, 'millefoglie' of aubergine and game terrine. There is a mouth-watering selection of unusual and well-sourced cheeses and a good choice of wines by the glass.
