Il Magazzino

Though this Florentine institution is known for tripe and lampredotto (classic Florentine offal), the antipasti and pasta dishes here are some of the best in town. Try the coccoli with prosciutto and stracchino cheese, a classic Tuscan specialty of salty fried bread balls that you smother with cheese and top with prosciutto. The location is also authentically Florentine—the tiny, cute piazza in the Oltrarno district is frequented by locals. The wine selection is interesting, extensive, and fairly priced.
