Get there early as queues build up by 8pm. Locals and tourists alike crowd in for the fantastic Tuscan cuisine and super friendly staff. The bill came to 45 euros for two, including wine, fantastic value for money - not to be missed.

Pizzerria/ristorante. Good food, friendly staff, great value. Meal for two with 20 euro bottle of wine came to 56 euros. Don't mistake it with the place across the road (Il Ghibellina), which was horrible.

Great little B&B. Great location, between Duomo and Piazza Della SS Annunziata, one block from Museo dell Academia. Feels like you are stepping back in time to the renaissance, all heavy dark wood furniture, white walls and lots of art. The staff are also great and bend over backwards to help.
Via de Servi 49, (if there's no-one in go to their other location at no 39);

We went on the basis of the Guardian readers' guide recommendation, already posted. It exceeded all expectations and we went several times. The fagioli al forno was a taste sensation, the ribellita was glorious... need I go on? Does lunch only.
