L' Antico Trippaio
About
L' Antico Trippaio is a beloved Florentine eatery that has been serving traditional Tuscan “trippa” dishes for over two decades. Located in the heart of the historic piazza de Cimatori, the shop offers a casual, welcoming atmosphere where locals and tourists alike can sample iconic dishes such as lampredotto, trippa alla fiorentina, porchetta, and bollito. The shop’s long‑standing reputation stems from its family‑run legacy, deep roots in local culinary traditions, and the use of ingredients sourced from the owners’ own farm. A visit is a true taste of authentic Florentine street food served in generous portions, with simple, homemade sauces and an endless selection of local wines and spirits. With a menu that reflects the humble “cucina povera” ethos, the restaurant is perfect for visitors who wish to enjoy hearty, large‑portion meals at an affordable price. Despite its open‑air, no‑frills setting, the staff maintains a friendly and efficient service, making it a favorite among early‑morning lunch crowds and late‑night “trippa” appetites. Dining at L' Antico Trippaio is best enjoyed in a relaxed, communal environment, often accompanied by a glass of Chianti or a quick cappuccino. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a casual lunch on the go, the shop’s open hours from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm allow flexibility for all kinds of schedules.
