One of our favourite oldest enoteca in Florence. Great wine selections and cheese & ham plates
via dell'Ariento 16/r +39 055 215609
Nel pieno centro di San Lorenzo, fra la Basilica ed il Mercato Centrale, purtroppo un po' nascosto dalle bancarelle degli ambulanti è una piacevole sosta per soddisfare il palato. Attenzione, il locale chiude nel pomeriggio e durante la pausa pranzo può essere affollato dai clienti abituali. Anche nei momenti di maggior afflusso i tempi del servizio sono comunque rapidi.

Sightseeing
San Gimignano is a must see while in Tuscany and best discovered by taking the bus or by driving because there is no train station close to the city center. You can catch one of the many buses that leave at least once an hour from the Santa Maria Novella bus stop, located just to the side of the train station, from the BusItalia Nord company.

Siena does not have a train station but can be reached by bus in a little over an hour, leaving from the SITA bus station on Via della Scala to the left of the main entrance to the Santa Maria train station in Florence . This is a great way to travel because you pass through beautiful countryside and the bus drops you off right in the center of Siena in Piazza S. Domenico so all you have to do is walk 5 minutes to arrive in the main square, Piazza del Campo. Siena is so small so you will not need to worry about local buses to see all the top sites - all you need is a good pair of walking shoes. To head back, take the same bus, which you will catch in the same spot where you got off.

Lucca, about an hour and a half north of Tuscany and can be reached by either train or bus, but I recommend taking the train because it is direct and offers wonderful views of Tuscany. Trains leave about twice an hour from Santa Maria Novella. The Lucca train station is located just two blocks from the city’s 16th century walls, which enclose the city centre, in Piazza Ricasoli. I suggest taking the short walk and entering through the closest door Porta San Pietro. If you would like to enter another door and are lucky with weather, take the opportunity to walk along the wide bike path , which makes for a pleasant stroll.
