Expert Tip. Florentine cooking is characterised by simple dishes prepared with good ingredients. Cannellini beans feature a lot, as well as tripe and liver, with similar dishes served on stalls and top restaurants. Look out for Fagioli All'Uccelletto, beans boiled and then fried in oil and tomato sauce. Perhaps the most famous dish however is Fiorentina, a cut of meat from the Chianina cow. [less]
