Trattoria Mario
Florence, Italy
The read// why locals go
Since 1953, Trattoria Mario has served Tuscan lunches at shared tables beside Florence's San Lorenzo market, never once complicating the formula. Via Rosina is a single doorway on the corner of the market, and inside are a handful of tables that fill and empty in shifts. You share; you eat what the kitchen has that day; you pay cash. The cooking is straight Florentine trattoria fare bought from stalls a few metres away, at around €16 for a main — a figure that explains the queue as much as the food does. No reservations are taken. The rule that has held for seventy years still holds: come early, or don't come.
