Alla Vecchia Bettola

Opened in 1979, with communal tables and traditional cooking, Alla Vecchia Bettola is a perfect example of a Tuscan trattoria. Don’t miss the amazing penne alla vecchia bettola, a pasta dish topped with a spicy sauce that has been copied by restaurants all over the world, which you can follow with offerings like a tasty tripe or an honest Fiorentina steak.  For years, you could walk in and easily get a table. But with the gentrification of the San Frediano area, reservations have become mandatory.
