Trattoria Armando 140/r Via Borgognissanti055-216-219Closed Sunday and Monday for lunchA few steps away from the Teatro Comunale, Armando has served genuine dishes since 1957, using only the freshest seasonal ingredients and traditional Tuscan recipes. Guests are warmly welcomed by Alessandra and Daniele, who often offer a glass of Prosecco. Trattoria Armando has always been a meeting place of gourmets and big names in classical music and dance, many of whom performed at the Teatro Comunale. They appear in the autographed photos placed along the walls of the restaurant. Whenever we eat there, we are treated like family.
Jane suggestions: green salad with pecorino cheese and pears; caprese salad; peposo with beans; calf’s liver with sage (our friends who eat liver say it’s the best they have ever had); roast lamb; osso bucco with peas; lemoncello sorbet, and (not on the menù), fried potatoes, sliced thin as potato chips. Fantastic!
