When: 2010

Innovative food in a lively atmosphere in the Oltrarno.

We went to Il Santo Bevitore twice during our four week stay in Florence in October/November 2010. We enjoyed the creative food and the lively, if somewhat noisy, atmosphere.

We had three courses, plus wine, on each visit. The cost, per person for three courses is in the 40-45 euro range, depending upon your wine selection. Over the course of two visits (one with another couple) we sampled a large selection of items from the menu, including Coscio di coniglio ripeno di prugne con tortino di patate pomodora e verza, millefoglie di melanzane viola con pomodora confit e basilico, risotto mantecato agli spinaci, pinoli ed uvetta con foglie di mazzancolla curda, quaglia in crosta di pane con passato di sedano rapa e mazzetto, and others, including several wonderful desserts.

I really enjoyed everything we tried. The service was good and the delivery of food was well timed. It was crowded on each visit (one on a Tuesday, one on a Wednesday), so we were glad we had made reservations.
