A Walk Through Florence at Night, Florence, Italy

My lovely Italian friend Lucia recommended Trattoria La Casalinga 鈥� literally, 鈥楾rattoria of the housewife鈥� 鈥� to me when she heard I was coming to Florence. It鈥檚 just off the Piazza Santo Spirito, which has become one of my favourite areas in Florence. It鈥檚 in Oltrano 鈥� the 鈥榦ther side of the Arno鈥� river 鈥� which has been undergoing considerable gentrification in recent years.

Fortunately I鈥檇 booked by email, receiving such a friendly reply from Andrea that this, with Lucia鈥檚 recommendation, made me really look forward to eating there. And I wasn鈥檛 disappointed. This was another great find for eating good, traditional Tuscan food in Florence.

There are various 鈥榮ections鈥� to the restaurant and I was led through to what seemed to be the main area 鈥� perhaps because I鈥檇 booked well in advance. All the waiting staff were friendly and there were plenty of them which boded well 鈥� and correctly 鈥� for good service. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
