Ristorante Antico Barile, Via dei Chechi, Florence


Ristorante Antico Barile, Via dei Chechi, Florence
Tuesday 19 September, 2006

After a whole morning of shopping and visiting the best leather glove store in Florence (Madova) we had worked up an appetite. We stumbled across Ristorante Antico Barile and walked in off the street with no reservation.

We have been so lucky during our travels as we have scored a table each time and today was no different. We were welcomed inside to the cute interior with deli/ bar at the front and the tables at the rear. There were small brick archways and white washed walls and quite comfortable chairs alongside the red & white checked tablecloths. Our waitress was lovely and assisted us with the Italian pronunciation of some menu items.

She delivered some great crusty bread and the obligatory olive oil and balsamic vinegar while we decided on our lunch orders. I selected the sausage & bacon tagliolini and my lunch buddy ordered the tagliotelli with bolognaise sauce. Of course, we asked for fresh parmesan and some cracked pepper - brilliant.

The pasta was delicious and we had arrived at just the right time as the hordes started to arrive around 1.30pm.
