A narrow, tiled trattoria on Via del Porcellana, trading since 1869, where chicken breasts sizzle in butter, steaks come off the grill and the meringue cake arrives heaped with wild strawberries.

Sostanza, known to Florentines as Il Troia, has been feeding the city from its slim room on Via del Porcellana since 1869, according to the sign on its own door. Diners sit at long shared tables beneath walls crowded with framed pictures. Order the petti di pollo al burro, cooked and served in butter in a small pan, then the bistecca or a plate of tortellini. Finish with the torta meringata piled with wild strawberries. It is a weekday place: lunch and dinner Monday to Friday and closed all weekend.
