Secure a table at Trattoria Sostanza, the Florence classic built around chicken sizzled in butter. Share the signature chicken, an artichoke pie and pasta in its traditional, fast-moving dining room.

📖

Full description

Trattoria Sostanza is an old-school Florence trattoria known above all for its chicken cooked in butter, with reviewers calling it juicy and unlike anything else in the city. Florentine steak and an artichoke pie, closer to an omelet, also feature prominently.

Service is fast and efficient, and the style is traditional from start to finish. Seatings are limited to lunch and dinner windows, and it is closed on Saturdays.

With a 75-minute typical visit and mid-range prices, it suits couples who plan ahead for a classic Tuscan table.

Reviews

They do what they do very well here. Service is fast and efficient. It’s old school start to finish. You have to have a reservation. They only take phone reservations, so get on the phone sooner than later for this fantastic food experience.
