Where to eat in Italy? Can anyone recommend good trattorias?

La Prima dal 1979 in Turin is very good.

Ristorante Wasabi is about the only place in Europe with
decent Japanese food. Not counting London as Europe.

Sounds like a number of great places to eat--but please while in Florence do miss going to Vivoli for gelato. The best of the best--the melon, strawberry, lemon and pistachio are out of this world--just ask my 14 year old son who dropped a lot of Euro there during our trip last summer.

I agree, I will be in Florence and Siena in September also and love The Food Lover's Guide to Florence. She also has a blog now and there are some updates to the book on it. It's worth getting if you will be in the Florence area for a bit.

Check out Emily Wise Miller's The Food Lover's Guide to Florence. It's availabe at amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Food-Lovers-Guide-Florence-Excursions/dp/1580088252/). Great suggestions and a good read!

I had a seriously disappointing experience at Aqua al 2. Blueberry steak? I think I'll pass. Also I'll take my 5 courses of pasta without the American tourists, please.

make sure you find the little tratoria run by the people who own Verrazanno Winery (it may ahve that name)....went there on our honeymoon, they have unbelievable boar proscuitto that comes from the wild boars on the Verrazanno estate (also worth the trip, about an hour outside Firenze)
