We ordered the tripe - it was a big serving. To our surprise, the San Deigo couple at the table beside us asked if they could try some of our tripe - they've probably read the same tour book we did but didn't have the guts to order a whole plate. Of course we didn't mind and was glad someone was sharing the cholesterol. They offered to share their tagliatelle in exchange and I also obliged - I never refuse free food...
Trippa alla fiorentina |
The pasta with pesto was perfectly al dente and delicious |
The veal too was good as was the blueberry tart dessert - basically I just went up to the bakery case and pointed - they do take out too |
What a sorry hungry-looking bunch! |
I love trippa alla fiorentina!! The tripe in your picture looks so tender... (I looked at the menu of this trattoria online. I could eat there every night.)
ReplyDeleteYes, when I looked at the online menu, I wish I had tried more of the other stuff - the tongue and the pig's trotters for example. But the in-house menu was in italian and the waiter's English wasn't very good. There was no google translate so I didn't see those dishes on the menu. It's also possible that the online menu included all the seasonal stuff.
