What is it?: A relative newcomer, only a few years old, but one which has become a fixture in the foodie haven of Sathorn Sois 10 and 12, with a focus on the litany of traditional Tuscan cuisine.
Why we love it: It is easy to roll our eyes when we hear things described as “Tuscan.” It has become a lazy byword for a romanticized Mediterranean lifestyle living in countless moms’ minds, which is a shame, because Tuscany has a unique culture and history that comes from its historic position as the crossroads of Italy. Giglio Trattoria Fiorentina very much focuses on that unique culture, with representative dishes of the region. The pici with sausage and porcini ragu are beautifully chewy, the ribollita proves how much you can do with just bread and veggies, and as is to be expected from any good Tuscan, the steak game is on point.
Time Out tip: Despite the carnivorous reputation of Tuscan food, many of the region’s best dishes are decidedly plant-based. Order the ribollita, the panzanella, and the kale and farro salad, and the vegans at the table will be eating well.
