Cantina De' Pucci (Restaurant & Wine Window / Buchetta del Vino)
the historic Buchetta del Vino (wine window)
Historic Florence spot with a playful wine-window twist. Simple Tuscan plates, friendly staff, and pours that invite lingering.
In San Lorenzo, Tuscany. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
Cantina De' Pucci sits inside the 16th-century Palazzo Pucci in central Florence and is built around one of the city's popular wine windows (Buchetta del Vino), where wine is served to passersby on the street. It serves classic Florentine/Tuscan fare, with Bistecca alla Fiorentina as the signature dish and frequently praised plates including wild boar pasta, gnocchi, and grilled octopus. TheFork reviewers rate food and service highly (around 9.2/10) and repeatedly name warm staff such as Angela and Purna at the wine window. Reservations are recommended during busy periods. Overall a corroborated, well-reviewed spot that matches the curator's note about simple Tuscan plates, friendly staff, and a playful wine-window experience.
