Trattoria Accadi

As soon as we sat down in this cozy restaurant with a family run feel, and hand written menus were placed before us, we knew we had found the NON tourist trap we were seeking!
It was our first night in Florence, as well, and a delicious and economical cap to a long day of travel and time adjustment! They cooked a mouth watering pasta Fagiola dish that was not on the menu for me and my wife loved her ravioli with spinach in a light cream sauce. We also shared an arugula with Parmesan salad before and tiramisu afterwards– both of which were simply delicious. Service and staff delightful. Going back before the week is out for sure!

Very delicious restaurant with a nice atmosphere and less touristic. Definitely a hot spot!

Otro descubrimiento que se nos presentó cuando estábamos paseando por el barrio… y una experiencia gastronómica muy grata que seguimos recordando con nostalgia.
Era martes por la noche, ya un poco tarde para empezar a cenar, y hasta la última mesa estaba llena — buena señal en un barrio no turístico! -, así que tuvimos que esperar un poco.
Las dos camareras que nos atendieron durante la noche eran súper amables y atentas en cada momento.
Nos prepararon la mesa y nada más sentarnos ya teníamos más hambre que antes, ya que veíamos en primera fila todos los platos que salían de la cocina — antipasti, pasta de todo tipo, pulpitos fritos, estofado de jabalí… madre mía, qué pinta tenía todo!
Como casi siempre no teníamos suficiente hambre para primero y segundo plato, así que pedimos gnocchis caseros — y tanto! — al pesto (simple, pero ideal para comparar restaurantes…), y Gnudi (pasta rellena florentina) burro e salvia (otro de mis favoritos cuando está bien hecho), todo regado con un buen vino blanco (la selección de vinos es bastante buena). De postre pedimos tiramisu casero.
Todo estaba riquísimo, el servicio óptimo y los precios económicos, comparado con otros sitios más céntricos y turísticos (entrantes 5 – 8 €, primeros platos en la mayoría de 7 a 9 €, segundos de 7 a 15 €.).
Cubierto: 1,50 €.
Si no hubiésemos tenido tantos otros sitios que probar, seguro que hubiéramos vuelto para cenar en la Trattoria Accadi de nuevo.
Todavía me arrepiento de no haber tenido más hambre para probar la Tagliata con rúcula y parmesano que iba desfilando delante de nuestras narices a un montón de mesas!

My girlfriend and I were in Italy for 7 days. We went to Trattoria Accadi on the fourth night and already knew that it was going to be the best meal we had over the entire trip.
Run by a husband and wife, it is a small and cozy restaurant that is away from all the typical touristy spots. We decided to eat here after reading the menu and being told by a few passing tourists that they had eaten there for the past 3 nights since it was so good. They were 100% right!
The owner, Stefano, clearly loves what he does and is very enthusiastic. He helped us find a nice bottle of white wine and went over all the specials they had. Then he showed us the fresh mushrooms that were picked to incorporate with any dish if we wanted. We split the toasted bread sampler as a starter and it was awesome. I could have just had the bruschetta as my entire course and been satisfied.
We both decided to add the mushrooms to our main courses since Stefano seemed so excited about them! I had the pasta with a mushroom sauce and my girlfriend had the risotto with mushrooms. AMAZING. Good portion size and delicious. The best pasta I had all trip by far. We also each had a side salad that was simple, but incredibly fresh tasting.
Even after all that food we decided to make room for dessert. Everything was homemade, and we settled on a slice of the chocolate cake for her and the cheesecake with strawberry sauce for myself. The chocolate cake was very moist and rich while the cheesecake was unlike any other I had had before. It was way lighter than I expected, but still delectable.
I can’t speak well enough of this place. I use Unilocal to find restaurants occasionally, but was compelled to add this business and write my first review all because of this experience. I highly urge anyone who’s in Florence to make the time to come to this place. It is well worth it and you won’t regret it!
