re: Florence dining recs?

Il Latina. You will be fed more than you could possibly eat. And the wine flows copiously...

I Tre Pini--in the Tuscan countryside. Try the "Fragolino". Homemade sausage and bruschetta are out of this world.

Be adventurous. Try a steak "Tuscan style". Amazing. Also, wild boar is a big hit on menus as well.

You won't drink the same bottle of wine twice. When you go to a restaurant, they will offer you their house wine or something, and you say,"What kind is this?" and they will point to a corner of the restaurant and say,"Oh, that guy made it."

If you drink beer, drink nothing but Nastro Azzuro. It's pretty damn good.

If you talk real loud, they are more likely to understand what you are saying.
