Trinita'. It is incredibly small, but has great glasses of wine for 3-6 euro. Afterward, go to Casalinga on Via dei Michelozzi 9r for incredibly cheap, amazing food.

Our grant allows $50 a day per person for food & drink - "incredibly cheap and amazing" will help make the most of it.

I found it in the Time Out guide for Florence. http://www.florence.ala.it/coquinar/ http://www.divinacucina.com/code/duomo.html Wed Jul 26 15:17:10 -0700 2006 1706662 21797 flygirl
