This place deserves conscious tourism.
This place is unique, it should be preserved and protected.
So, if you recognize yourself in these few lines, keep reading.
Antico Ristoro Perditempo is a quiet place where you can eat some Tuscan dishes like “schiacciate ripiene”, “pappa al pomodoro”, “bruschette” or even salads. There is little choice for each dish, but it's very good quality. I swear, even the salads are really tasty!
The quality of the food is very high, and so is the hospitality. You'll feel like you're visiting an old friend, and you'll never want to leave.
Did I mention the view of Ponte Vecchio? If you're lucky, you can even sit at one of the tables at the window!
It's a pleasure to come back here.
