Trattoria Il Contadino

Where? Trattoria Il Contadino (Florence, Italy) Map

When? Friday April 7, 2017

Who? Me

Food Style? Italian

After day tripping around the Tuscan country side, I'm back in Florence for my last night. I'm at a restaurant near the train station at a recommendation of a friend, and despite it being in a touristy area, it's filled with locals. The front menu is Italian but the back is in English. I've gone for the fixed price menu, which has two plates and a side dish, and a drink for €14.50

First Plate


Roast Pork
The roast pork arrives. It's...um. Not what I expected. The meat is okay and the gravy is a bit watered down..and I'm not sure what else to say because there is nothing else on the plate. I'm very confused.

Second Plate


Roast Rabbit and Side Salad
My roast rabbit and side salad arrive next. They are also very literally what I got. However the rabbit is much more tasty, and the meat is falling off the bone beautifully on the drumstick. It's not as gamey as I thought it would be. Other parts of the rabbit are a bit tough and dry though.

I'm leaning towards a no for this one. The other tables seem to have amazing looking platters with side vegetables and garnish and I don't know what I've done wrong.
