Florence: Beccofino, Trattoria Sostanza, Diladdarno, Da Mario, and, perhaps, Victoria Genoa: Napolean Cinque Terra: Miky, Osteria a Cantina de Mananan, and Gambero Rosso Lucca: Buca de San Antonio Sun Jan 15 12:25:26 -0800 2006 0 Lynnwood 1 1410097 I posted about Diladdarno in late May of last year. There is a repeat post in mid-December when someone could not find it through the search function. The pister was asking about another Florence restaurant and I suggested Diladdarno. I have no connection to this place in any way shape or form - just thought it was an outstanding meal with great value for the buck, er euro, and will return. Have wonderful meals and enjoy your visit! Sun Jan 15 14:18:59 -0800 2006 1410094 0 Sherri 1 1410126 Lynnwood, Bucca De San Antionio provided the single best meal I've ever had. Owned by the same family for over 500 years, their house specialty is roast goat. DO NOT miss this dish. Also, as a first course, the pasta in sage cream sauce is spectacular. Trust your waiter's suggestions for wine. Book your table the day before or very early the same day. (Your hotel can do this for you.) They will be full if you just try and drop in. You're in for a treat! Mon Jan 16 14:54:28 -0800 2006 1410094 0 Leper
