Italy restaurant recommendations

We really enjoyed Antico Arco in Rome.

Antica Trattoria da Tito in Florence is an experience. Very good food. You will need reservations. I literally don't know how to describe it. Great Florentine steak with good house wine. The cashier was a guy wearing a bikini top, and the manager/owner yelled multiple profanities and came around and drank with you during the dinner. Truly a unique experience that I would go back to in a heartbeat.

Florence:

La Giostra(split the florentine steak)

La Buchetta(get the gnocchi)

Osteria Pastell(Pasta in cheese wheel)

Ino Florence(bomb sandwiches, lunch spot, limited seating)

Gustapizaa(great fricking pizza)

Sant Agostino(get the onion dish, casual traditional florentine

Coquinaius(nicer spot, pear ravoli was solid)

+1 for La Buchetta in Florence.

Florence -
Natalino was very good.

Ristorante Saint Ambrogio - Had a good dinner there Easter Sunday night 2018.

Cacio Vino Trallalla is a little wine bar with good food.


Venice

Al Covo - Fresh exotic seafood.

Osteria Alla Testiere - Small place, excellent seafood.

Ai Barbacano - Larger, more casual seafood restaurant.

L'Osteria di Santa Marino - Great little place on the square of the same name.

Ristorante Alle Corone - We ate there on our last night which happened to be our anniversary. Would be great for the birthday dinner.

With the exception of Al Covo, the Venice places are just off the main drag between St. Mark's and the Rilato.


Rome

The last few times I went to Rome we ate in some of the more casual places.

Hosteria Costanza has good food in historic surroundings. It is near Campo di Fiore.

Enoteca Cul du Sac is a nice little wine bar near Piazza Navona and the food is very good.

Anitique Tiger blhad an in game thread while he was there. Lots of info was posted.

I didn’t search for it, but it was with him the past 18 months I’d say.
