TRATTORIA DA BENVENUTO, FLORENCE ITALY -- PART 2


TRATTORIA DA BENVENUTO, FLORENCE ITALY

Everything on the menu, including the wine, is amazingly affordable considering the quality and love that goes into each dish.

The kindly owner, using his limited English, surprised us with a delightful mascarpone cheese cake with fresh berries.  We really didn't have room to split one, let alone two generous slices. 

But hey, it was vacation, so we sinned with the rich mascarpone, trying to convince ourselves that the healthy fresh berries would balance out our indulgence.

One side note of interest to people with disabilities. My wife uses a wheelchair and the kind folks at Benvenuto helped her through the accessible entrance and seated her with no problems. The  restroom is not perfect, but that is often the case in centuries-old buildings in a city whose very well-intended preservation rules make it difficult to remodel even for wheelchair access.
