Loved this place I found completely by accident when I was in Florence.

I was wandered around Santa Croce and literally stumbled on this restaurant that stated that they offered typical Tuscan dishes and were located in one of the oldest buildings in Florence, over some very interesting ruins of a roman amphitheater.
Since my first night in Florence was my birthday i opted for a safe order of prosciutto with melon followed by ravioli in a butter sage sauce. The melon was out of this world and the most spectacular shade of deep orange. Light and tender, the ravioli was melt in your mouth good.
My last night there I joined a couple I had met the second night (yes I ate all three nights in the same place - you would too) and we ordered the steak Florentine. The couple was from Houston, good American steak country and they were totally impressed with the meal, so much so that they actually said out loud that the steak was better than Texas.
Oh, so the middle night I opted for papparadelle with wild boar ragu - yum, yum, yum. The carnivore in me had a fabulous time in Florence for sure.
Wine, oh yes, the wine was wonderful and the staff was very helpful in helping choose a local wine that complimented the meal.
You don't have to eat there everyday like I did, but next time you are in Florence I highly recommend it.
