For my final dinner in Firenze, I sat down at L'Giuggiolo. Started off with a tomato terrine on a bed of mozzarella strips doused in yoghourt sauce with a pine nut and basil topping. With it, they served a lovely savoury po-boy style deep fried dough that was a perfect companion to the yummy starter.
Then on to the house specialty, a tagliatelle made on the premises with a strong peppery sauce and a healthy serving of beef chunks. Hearty, filling, yumm.
My only complaint would have to rest with the wine. The actual Chianti itself was tasty enough but the volume was so miserly, I honestly thought it was the tasting portion and the waitress would return to top me up!
Called it a wrap with the warm pine nut custard tart. Respectable but not earth-shattering. All in all, a pretty decent last supper.
