Florence--Dinner First Night on a Sunday

Any suggestions for a wonderful place for dinner the first night we arrive from the US? It is a Sunday so I know that limits the options. We're staying at the NH Porta Rossa. Thank you!

    Gustavino on Via della Condotta is open on Sundays last I checked. Talented female chef, delicious but not very formal. It would be less than a 10 minute walk from your hotel. Everything changes if you are traveling around Ferragosto which is August 15th.

      you do not say when you are arriving - holiday closings could also have an impact

      ps I have edited the Restaurant data base for Sunday opening info so more current info should appear when you click on the link to a database search below

          After so much traveling, I'd like someplace where we won't be sharing a table for the first night and isn't too formal.
