Dishes mentioned
Tagliatelle al Ragù
The tagliatelle are old-style, drained and then the ragù is thrown on top — in Florence ragù means sauce. When you stir it, you really taste the soffritto. There isn't much meat, but for this price it's understandable. The tomato is very tasty, I don't know what they do to it. It tastes like home, like my grandmother used to make. It's very good.
Tortellini in Brodo
The tortellino is stronger than the broth, good tortellino. The broth is a little watered down, it lacks flavor. For a non-homemade tortellino it's not bad, but the broth is a bit weak. It balances out when you eat them together.
Rosbif con Patate Arrosto
The roast beef is cut very thin — I personally like it cut a little thicker. The meat is very tender, it reminds me of what my grandmother used to make. The potatoes almost seem more fried than roasted. For €6 it's incredible, really good. The meat is soft and tasty when you chew it, though I miss a little salt. The potatoes are very good.
Pollo Ripieno al Pistacchio
The chicken is stuffed with all sorts of goodies — I think there's every type of meat and cured meat possible inside, plus cheese and lots of pistachio. The chicken is very good, roasted very well, tasty and soft. There's a sauce that gives extra flavor that I like. It's good, really good.
Fagioli dall'Occhio
The black-eyed beans have that typical slightly earthy flavor, a little bit like peas even. They're simple, seasoned with oil. The bean expert says they're very earthy, tasty, and importantly for me they're not skiny — they must be like this.
