Piaza dei Cavalieri

Piazza dei Miracoli | Piaza dei Cavalieri | Arno | Museums

A very pleasant piazza almost entirely devoid of tourists. However, perhaps as important for me was the location in an adjacent street of not one, but two excellent and reasonably priced restaurants. As far as I could make out, it seemed that the older of the two, the Osteria dei Cavalieri had spawned the more innovative Sosta dei Cavalieri. Or at least, the waiters seem to know each other well enough to be family, and they redirect you to each other when they are inevitably fully booked. This is one of those few places when it is worth booking; the food is really wonderful and the service, delightfully Italian.
