hi.
another monday and new week.
this morning i just came across some photos taken in italy last may.
whenever i look again a bunch of pictures taken during the past trips, my eyes are caught by ones related to food or cats.
today, i was caught by food ones.
today's pictures are from florence, italy.
when i visited there with my husband last may, we had a terrific lunch accidentaly.
the street was not busy, that's why we became returning customers at the hotel which is situated 2~3 next to this ristorante.
when we reached florence around noon after taking about-1-hour-train-trip from bologna, we were terribly tired. (because of the bad air quality of big cities, the cold and bad weathers and the literal tiredness.)
so were we, after we made check-in at the kind of intimate hotel, we went out for lunch which would be won effortlessly but still be something.
yeah, i always suppose that a terrific meal is supposed to be "won" after some kind of effort and research, especially the situation occurs in an unfamiliar place.
against my belief, we were unfortunately luck of energy in florence.
so, after we left the hotel we entered in the ristorante which was be able to be reached with only a few steps.
miraculously, we did win effortlessly!
everything here was more than ok; the elegant decoration inside, porchini risotto and house red wine, the friendly chefs and waitresses, and time flew so slowly and decently.
i was totally stunned with the risotto.
because i'm originally from japan where people mainly eat rice for their starch, and i was in florence on the 5th day of the trip and was eager to eat rice, especially in a way carefully cooked by a skilled chef and quickly brought from kitchen to my table in order to be eaten at the right temperature.
every my stern ideal was easily cleared at this ristorante!
bravo!!
i regretted again and again that we had passed by this ristorante last year.
now i know that if we visit florence again, we'll be returning customers of this ristorante!
lovely chefs at ristorante "nerone". :))
i'm sorry about the blur, but your kitchen was too challenging for a slow speed film! ;P

Is this another ristorante you mentioned in the "ft travel"?
Seems soooo nice! And good for you:))
Encountering really nice food is an essential part of travel, I think.
The space and the guys looks really wonderful.
Now this post makes me wanna visit a local italian restaurant I tried for the first time last month.
It has a nice ambience I love, and they are nice-natured guys. We had lunch there but the menu on the blackboard (nicely hand-written;) seemed even more better.
After having the lovely lunch I decided to try risotto and gnocchi next time.
You changed the logo again! I love it:)) I love the combination of red and gray:)
> oh, i envy you that you have such a pretty italian restaurant within reach of you!
yeah, i love the chalkboard menu, too!
well, i don't remember very well which ristorante i mentioned about in fc travel, but i'm afraid i didn't talk about the ones we went to in this year's trip.
as we traveled over there two years in a row, we went to some good and bad restaurants.
and the one in today's post is definitely the one of the excellent restaurants!
i admit that the food matter is always the center of the travel for me!!
