Best antipasto (appetizers) spread in town, plus good traditional dishes bang in the center of the medieval city (right next-door to its namesake sight: Dante's House)

The restaurant is positively ancient, founded in the 1400s and once owned by the 16th century painter Albertinelli, when it was a place for his own artistic buddies—including Pontormo, Andrea del Sarto, and Benvenuto Cellini—to hang out (hence the restaurant's nickname, "Del Pennello"—of the painter).
