Trattoria Le Mossacce
In a city flooded with tourists, many Florentine eateries lose their Tuscan authenticity as they cater to the masses. Despite its location in an especially tourist trafficked area, Trattoria Le Mossacce has been able to maintain its full Tuscan identity.
A green glowing trattoria sign announces the presence of the otherwise easily overlooked entrance to the dining area, the name le Mossacce spanning across the door. Though not spacious, the trattoria prides itself on fast service, quickly turning tables without making customers feel rushed. Wait staff is friendly and helpful, happy to make suggestions or answer any questions. And staying true to their reputation, service was indeed prompt, with no time wasted in between courses.
The menu features a full assortment of options with primi piatti pastas served with the customer’s choice from the sauces of the day. The tortellini with Bolognese was particularly appetizing. The sauce, while flavorful, was not overpowering, but smooth, and in good proportion to the pasta. The lasagna was nice as well, with a unique, creamy, cheesy sauce that left a rich taste lingering.
The options for secondo piatto were not lacking. The special of the day, braciola rifatta, was impeccable, with a light breading and refreshing pomodoro sauce. The involtini was delicious as well, the artichoke wrapped inside acting as a nice contrast to the savory flavors of the veal. The table wine offered paired particularly well with this dish and made for a good balance of flavors. Another secondo piatto certainly worth trying was the ossobuco, the beef so perfectly cooked it could be pulled apart with a fork. The sauce coating the dish ensured a full flavor and kept the meat very moist.
The high quality food is perhaps most complimented by the reasonable prices of dining. You can happily enjoy fresh ingredients, quality preparation and friendly, accommodating service without your wallet taking a hit. In fact, with prospects like these you cannot afford not to give Trattoria Le Mossacce a visit.
