I’ve eaten at Vecchia Bettola several times recently and it is still as good or better than ever. I gave it a strong review in my book (both editions), and it is well deserving. The food is so simple and yet so delicious – the epitome of Tuscan cooking. I always get the Penna alla Bettola (tomato, vodka), and either the bistecca alla Fiorentina, which is always enormous, enough to feed an army, or the smaller filetto, because their meat is so good. I love the waiters, who are also the brothers from the family that owns the place, and the wine list is very good as well.
The news is that the address has changed – for some reason the namo of the big avenue has actually been changed from Via Ariosto to Viale Pratolini. The new address is Viale Vasco Pratolini 3-7.
