Eating near Santa Croce
Where to eat near Santa Croce and the Bargello.
Via Ghibellina crosses the Santa Croce district, from the Bargello Museum to Casa Buonarroti. Halfway along is our osteria: bare brick, close tables and a dinner that takes its time.
Between the Bargello and Santa Croce
This is Michelangelo's Florence: his sculptures are in the Bargello, his tomb in Santa Croce, the family house on Via Ghibellina. It is a few minutes on foot from one museum to the next, and the Uffizi and the Duomo are just a little further.
Trattoria Boboli Al Bargello is on this street, just far enough from the busiest lanes to eat in peace.
What you can eat
Straightforward Tuscan cooking: a board of cured meats and crostini, fresh pasta from our workshop, T-bone steak on the grill, peposo beef slow-cooked in Chianti, and a good glass of wine. Open for lunch and dinner, every day. See the dishes on the menu.
All gluten free
As in every Boboli restaurant, the menu is entirely gluten free and part of the Italian Coeliac Association eating-out programme: bread, pasta and desserts included. Read more about eating gluten free in Florence.
If you are on the other side of the Arno instead, see where to eat near the Pitti Palace.
