Osteria del Cinghiale Bianco, Florence

This lovely, small restaurant in the Oltrarno (not too far from the Ponte Vecchio) offers authentic Tuscan cuisine at fair prices. Absolutely delicious pappa al pomodoro (tomato and bread soup), ribollita (a traditional Tuscan soup made of bread, beans and other greens) and homemade pastas (strozzapreti, pappardelle, taglierini, etc.). Also not to miss are the seasonal dishes made from fresh Porcini mushrooms (grilled or deep-fried) and the dishes that give this restaurant their name: cinghiale, or wild boar. Excellent red or white house wines are available by the half-liter or liter. Reservations are strongly recommended, or come at 6:30p when they open and Massimo will seat you with a smile and his recommendations for the day.
