The Most Exciting Restaurants of 2018
Il Santo Bevitore – Florence
Florence is known for its classic Italian osteria cuisine — simple foods from the countryside that complement local wines. Open since 2002, Il Santo Bevitore has been in the vanguard of exciting Italian restaurants for 15 years. Proprietors Marco and Martina Baldesi and Stefano Sebastiani, Il Santo Bevitore serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes but with a modern twist.
Pastas are made from scratch just the way nonna would but feature unique ingredients like N’nduja sausage and Jerusalem artichoke. Their wine list features over 100 bottles from producers all around Italy. In a city where most restaurants cater to busy tourists, Il Santo Bevitore stands out for the clean, sleek lines of their dining space and the delicious simplicity of their food.
Loved the tagliatelle with oxtail at Il Santo Bevitore in Florence. Yes we're definitely in Tuscany! pic.twitter.com/hTvBXyTEJ7
