Trattoria Cibreo
It was quite an experience dining at the Trattoria Cibreo (careful, not to be confused with Café Cibrèo which is next to it and is three times more expensive). In the trattoria, tables cannot be reserved and it is quite small. You arrive, you ask for a table, and if it is possible, you usually end up sharing a table with other people ve you do not know at all. This is part of the charm. In our case, we ended up having dinner with a very fun and interesting couple: Czech anthropologists ve did not speak English or Italian. Can you imagine the conversation?
As much as you insist on reading and understanding the menu, do not stress.
Your waiter will broadcast it for you completely and in great detail. He will sit down with you at the table and, I'm not exaggerating, he will take more than five minutes to explain everything in Spanish! Very handy! Something interesting is that there was everything on the menu, except pasta! Of course, we ate what he recommended, most of which were local dishes: one very rich mozzarella and mushroom soup, chicken meatballs, homemade desserts... Do not miss it! It is a classic in Firenze.
