Cantinetta Antinori

<p>Located in the famed wine-producing family's historic palazzo off the north end of Via Tornabuoni, this wine bar offers upscale dinners in intimate surroundings: vaulted ceilings high enough for a second, lofted dining area; crisp white tablecloths; waiters in cream jackets; and a hushed atmosphere. High-end travelers and local aristocracy gather here to sample revisited Tuscan classics like <em>pappa al pomodoro</em> (tomato and bread soup). Olive oils and many wines come from the Antinoris' Tuscan estates. </p><p><strong>Signature Dishes:</strong> Florentine steak; homemade desserts like <em>schiacciata con l'uva</em> (grape cake) or warm pear torte. </p>
