The house wine, a Montspertoli, is good for the price. Travelers' tip: A rare sight these days, are the pictoresque gold and green carts of the tripe-vendors. Palmiro Pinzauti, in the Piazza de' Cimatori, is one of the survivors, who's always good for an unforgettable panino di lampredotto! For more than a century, the Rivoire Cafè in Piazza della Signoria 4/r has been synonymous with chocolate, bonbons and milk-chocolate creme. Check out Giacosa, a posh café in Via Tornabuoni.
