DAVID GARDNER PROVES A SCOTSMAN CAN CREATE GREAT TUSCAN
CUISINE IN THE HEART OF FLORENCE
The best advice I could ever give to a person seeking
good food and a good price in Florence is to walk a beat off the beaten track.
There may be a couple good chefs still practicing within
a perfect view of the Uffizi, Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, or grand
Piazza.
But far too many have gone the pre-fixed tourist menu,
with barkers shamelessly luring weary visitors into a land of rotgut red wines
and microwaved pasta.
You don't have to go far.
Just a long block off the main piazza
will do the trick.
Do a little research before the trip.
Look up Trip
Advisor, Virtual Tourist, Frommer's, Lonely Planet and Zagat online.
You will be rewarded with a finding a gem such as David
Gardner's Baldovino Trattoria & Pizzeria.
It's located on a narrow street about 100 meters from the
front of the art- and history-filled Basilica Santa Croce.
