- South of the Arno in Gavinana, a bus ride from the Duomo and off the usual tourist routes
Why it’s in the log
Osteria Manì sits south of the Arno in a residential stretch of Florence most visitors never have a reason to walk through. The kitchen makes its pasta fresh and keeps the menu built around it, the kind of place that gets by on a neighbourhood's regulars rather than a spot on a guidebook map.
With under 700 reviews in a city as picked-over as Florence, it's about as under-the-radar as an established, well-rated restaurant gets here.
Worth the bus ride out from the centro storico if a plate of proper pasta matters more than eating it within sight of the Duomo.
“Proper, unfussy pasta a bus ride from the Duomo — worth it if the food matters more than the view.”
