Giannino in San Lorenzo
About
Giannino in San Lorenzo is a historic Florentine restaurant located in the heart of the city, just steps from the Church of San Lorenzo and the bustling San Lorenzo Market. From its 16th‑century roots, the restaurant has become a local institution, famous for its classic Tuscan dishes such as succulent steaks, fresh seafood, and of course the renowned Pappardelle alla Chiantigiana—a hearty pasta served with a rich, slow‑cooked ragù made from locally sourced ingredients. Guests can complement their meal with an exquisite selection of Chianti wines, including the celebrated Chianti Classico Santedame, thoughtfully paired to amplify the flavors of each dish. With a warm, convivial atmosphere, attentive service, and a menu that honors traditional Tuscan flavors, Giannino offers an unforgettable culinary experience for both locals and visitors alike.
