Andrew Zimmern Instagram – My father took my mother to @trattoriasostanzafirenze in Florence Italy on their honeymoon. It was 1956. He went again several times in the early 60s and took me for the first time in 1968. I was 7.
I went a few more times with him over the next decade and went with my friend Clark in the spring of 1977 after a ski trip and with my friend Toby before we went off to college a few years later. I made it back to Florence a few times over the 40 years, always ate at Sostanza. Crostini with chicken livers, pasta al Sugo, bistecca Fiorentina (pictured), wood roasted pigeon. The hits were endless. The room always prefect. I love this restaurant. Shot some TV there a while back and these pictures were taken last week by my friend Snuffy who needed a place to eat while traveling to Florence. He went twice.
My relationship with this restaurant is 55 years old. And it brings me so much happiness.
I can’t wait to get back there. Do you have a restaurant like this in your life? It’s a magical thing. Anyone else been to Sostanza in Florence? It’s a must | Posted on 12/May/2024 15:50:32
