*Zanobini |
Via Sant'Antonino, 47/r.
Phone: 055.239.685.0
Closed Sunday and Wednesday
The street this mescita is in used to be called Cella di Ciardo after the vast cellar (in Latin cella) which Ciardo the wine dealer used to have here. The original porticoed shop has now disappeared. The present proprietors have been selling wine and oil from their farm 'Le Lame' here since 1944. The traditions of good wine and good crack, even if a bit ribald or even coarse at times, though always good humoured, create the thoroughly Florentine atmosphere.
