Burro & Acciughe Florence

The best fish in Florence

Laura from Florence

""Burro & Acciughe" in Florence is a place to experience some of the best fish in the city. Their bread and butter and anchovies are just amazing..."

I know that reading about food is really boring, but we are in Italy and eating must be an experience like visiting a museum, and you should have this experience in the right places. The Burro & Acciughe is one of these places!

This is mainly a fish restaurant, so I suggest you choose some fish dishes. I always order their bread with butter and anchovies as a starter; that is a traditional dish and even the name of the restaurant -- the fried anchovies. They are both amazing, I'm not joking, they are special. Then choose any other dish on the menu, you can't go wrong. Let Alberto, the charming owner of the restaurant, suggest you a good wine to drink.

This cozy restaurant is in the genuine and historic San Frediano neighborhood.

As with all the best, but not expensive, restaurants, it's better if you book a table in advance.

Florence Spotter Laura

I'm a grown-up girl, but I feel like I am 27. I work in a theater company in Florence, I live with my boyfriend, Andrea, who is a kind of nerd... I like my sofa in which I can watch my favorite shows, I like visiting temporary markets, going to the cinema, finding secret places in my city. Sometimes I don't remember where I live, so I'm surprised to ride along Palazzo Vecchio and Ponte Vecchio and I suddenly feel astonished and happy by all this beauty. My boyfriend says that I have a problem with my short-term memory, but I usually forget listening to him! Why Floren...
