Here's a guide to my favorite wine bars and trattorias in the neighborhoods of major cultural attractions in Florence. Look for my decal in the window. And tell them Divina Cucina sent you!

Cappelle Medicee Piazza di Madonna degli Aldobrandi, 6 Trattoria de Sergio Piazza San Lorenzo, 8R Tel: 055-281-941 Closed Sunday. When I'm not at Mario's for lunch, I'm here. One of my husband's favorite places to eat. Everything is good. Another family run trattoria, but this time two large dining rooms and table clothes! I love the roast pork called arista, heavy with rosemary and garlic. Like Mario's, the menu changes daily. It's written outside of the door and your waiter will recite it to you quickly. But it's easier to just look at what others are eating and point! Come hungry! Breaking News! They are now open Friday nights and serving fabulous fish! Trattoria Antellesi Via Faenza, 9R Tel: 055-216-990 Closed Tuesday Recently taken over by new owners, Antellesi is still popular! I need to return and try it again, but have received great feedback from those who have been! Antica Sosta degli Aldobrandi Piazza Madonna, 6R Located directly in front of the Medici Chapel, a perfect spot for a break. Caffè, cappuccino, or glass of wine with a sandwich or a sweet. Click on the sight below that you plan to visit and I'll recommend the best place nearby to stop for a bite to eat.
