This institution—it's been around since 1806—began life as a butcher shop and, indeed, it still is, but it also has a little restaurant that serves great taglieri (plates of mixed cured pork products, usually, though cheese does prominently figure as well). Soups, lasagna, various tartares, and sandwiches are also on hand; the quality of the products is exceptional.
Detour off Greve's flower-strewn main square for food that relies heavily on local ingredients (like cheese and salami produced nearby). The lengthy wine list provides a bewildering array of choices to pair with affettati misti or one of the primi (first courses)—the pici (a thick, hand-rolled spaghetti) are deftly prepared here. All dishes are made with great care, and outdoor seating makes summer dining particularly pleasant. It's also possible to simply stop by for a glass of wine.
