A local Florentine institution on Via Pistoiese 154 in the Peretola district, awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026 for exceptional value. Known for superb Fiorentina steak, traditional soups, homemade pasta, and Peposo (beef slow-braised in red wine). Unpretentious, authentic, and popular with Florentines.
Trattoria da Burde is a Florentine institution on Via Pistoiese 154 in the Peretola district, near Florence's Amerigo Vespucci Airport on the western edge of the city. The trattoria is a working-class Florentine dining room of the old school — formica tables, wine served in jugs, and a menu that changes daily according to what the market and the season offer. Awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026 (indicating exceptional quality at moderate prices), da Burde is one of Florence's most authentic surviving examples of the neighbourhood trattoria tradition. The kitchen excels at the canonical dishes of the Florentine table: bistecca alla fiorentina from Chianina beef grilled over charcoal; Peposo, the medieval Florentine dish of beef braised in red wine and black pepper for several hours; ribollita and lampredotto; homemade pasta with ragu and seasonal sauces. The wine comes from local producers and is genuinely inexpensive. The restaurant is primarily open for lunch Monday through Thursday and Saturday; Friday is the main dinner service. Average spend approximately EUR 30 (~$33) per person including wine — exceptional value for the quality. Da Burde is not in the city centre; a taxi from Piazza della Repubblica takes approximately 15 minutes.
