City
Florence • Duomo / Historic Center
"Historic Florentine trattoria famed for its charcoal-grilled steak and butter chicken."
A Florentine institution since 1869, Trattoria Sostanza (nicknamed 'Il Troia') is a bastion of culinary tradition. Tucked away in the historic center, it's famed for its immutable menu cooked on a rare wood-fired charcoal grill. The signature dishes, a sizzling Butter Chicken Breast and a perfectly charred Bistecca alla Fiorentina, are legendary. The atmosphere is authentic and historic, with tiled walls and communal tables. Service is brisk, and booking weeks in advance is essential.
