DAVID GARDNER PROVES A SCOTSMAN CAN CREATE GREAT TUSCAN
CUISINE IN THE HEART OF FLORENCE
You can still sit outside at a lovely sidewalk cafe
setting (the interior of Baldovino is even more beautiful), you just won't have
a full view of Piazza Santa Croce.
For that small trade, you will pay unbelievably low
prices for amazingly authentic and straightforward Italian bistro cuisine.
Monolingual English speakers will also be rewarded by
Baldovino's attentive and well-trained servers, who speak flawless
English.
That should come as no surprise as their boss, David
Gardner, is a longtime expat from Scotland.
Gardner first molded Baldovino into a pizza and wine
joint and the pizzas are still spectacular.
But over the years, he has expanded the menu to include
Tuscan treats throughout -- whether it is a fresh salad made with ingredients
from the countryside, pasta with local wild boar or a unique hummus made of
Tuscan beans.
