Tucked into a side street behind slightly pricier trattorie surrounding Florence's central food market, this unabashedly old-school trattoria doesn't seem to have changed one iota since Mario Colzi opened it in 1953.

Romeo Colzi, his wife Patrizia, and brother Fabio refuse to alter the simple tiled walls, glassed-in kitchen, ancient wood ceiling, and culinary traditions (tripe on Mondays, fish on Fridays, etc.)—or the habit of shoehorning strangers into already packed tables to make new friends and enjoy genuine Florentine cooking at the lowest prices in town.

The menu is hand-printed at the door and on the wall, and changed constantly to include such everyday delicacies as mezzelune al ragù (half-moon cheese ravioli in meat sauce) and coniglio al forno (roast rabbit).

It's all à la carte, but even if you order the most expensive first and second courses here and have wine, you still ring in under €20 —practically unheard of in Florence.
