The noodles are raved by locals and tourists because of its unique cheese sauce, but I don’t really get it.
Bacon and Peas
Bacon and Peas. They have a special place in my heart. Whenever I’m in Florence, I make it a point to go to Trattoria da Rocco in Santa Croce for a quick but homely lunch. This little gem of a trattoria is located inside San Ambrogio Market (Address: Piazza Ghiberti | Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio, 50122 Florence, Italy), just a few minutes away from Piazza dei Ciompi flea market (you know I have a thing for thrifting).
