All'Antico Vinaio

The story

Run by the Mazzanti family on a short street between Piazza della Signoria and Santa Croce, this counter turned the humble Tuscan flatbread into a global pilgrimage. Bread is baked through the day and split while still warm, then piled high with cured meats, creamy cheeses and their famous house spreads - truffle cream, pistachio cream, artichoke cream. The original counter is at number 65; sister shops sit a few doors along the same street.
