Fratelli Briganti on Piazza Giovanbattista Giorgini in Florence has been serving the Florentine Italian cooking that earns a neighborhood restaurant its loyal following among the Florentines who live and eat in the city rather than on the tourist corridor since it opened. It appeared in Season 22, Episode 3 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Fillin’ Up in Florence,” which aired January 30, 2015, as part of Guy Fieri’s Florence episode. Guy Fieri found a Florentine kitchen doing Italian cooking from scratch with the quality and neighborhood authenticity that earns a restaurant its place among the restaurants Florentines actually eat at rather than the ones they steer tourists toward.

What to Eat
The Ribollita — the Tuscan bread and vegetable soup slow-cooked until thick and rich, then re-boiled the next day in the tradition the name describes — is the Florentine comfort food classic that earns a neighborhood trattoria its local reputation. The House-Made Pasta with seasonal Tuscan sauces is the centerpiece that most visitors come specifically for. The Bistecca Fiorentina when available is the Florentine beef classic done with the quality of a kitchen that knows what it’s doing. Find a Florence hotel on Trivago.
