The Enoteca Pitti Gola e Cantina is run by some young guys in love with good wine. I discovered this Enoteca some years ago and I realized at once that we would get along for a long time.
I'm enchanted by the way Zeno, Manuele and Edoardo retell a wine's story, or their presentation of a new dish. It's like listening to a fairytale when I was a little girl. They really love what they offer to you, every type of wine or dish is selected with passion and taste and you can feel it!
The Enoteca is an elegant but familiar place, perfect for a date or a girls' dinner. You can sit outside during summer and watch the wonderful piazza Pitti.
I suggest a Nebbiolo wine with the terrina di fegatini (also a typical Tuscan dish) and... well, I have to book a table for next week!
