The Best Restaurant in Around the Duomo, Florence

The feel here is more Munich beer hall than Florentine trattoria—indeed, although the menu lists plenty of Italian dishes, it also has hamburgers and other traditional pub fare. Heavy wooden tables are set closely together, and copies of 19th-century paintings adorn the intensely yellow walls, along with two frescoed Michelangelesque nudes that cavort over a brick arch. There's outside seating in warm weather—a great place to enjoy a beer.
