The staff is very helpful (they asked if I wanted my prosciutto vacuum packed which is quite nice when travelling) and they seem to know everything there is to know about there products. Fresh pasta is also sold and I tried their ravioli allo speck.

The city is very different during the day and night, transforming to a hauntingly beautiful still life after the day trippers have gone. However one has to eat during the day too. So in avoidance of the crazies and staying awAy from said masses, it rewards one to explore the deep alleys and corners in the rain. To truly understand the culture, food is always a great start. While wandering aimlessly i happened upon a multi generations old maccelaio. I told them i wanted to understand what some of the charcuterie and butcher traditions were and purchased a few things for myself and friends from other regions. When they saw i was trying hard to understand and learn, i was welcomed in by two of the generations and some of the locals as well during their normal shopping. Do you truly understand where your food comes from? As someone who has a local butcher and have friends in that trade, it's interesting to see the cultural differences of the same profession. Dig deep and you will unearth the secrets of great travel

While it did seem that everyone was getting different cuts of beef, we loved what we were served and they had no problem putting some rare items back on the grill for a few minutes. The white beans, roasted veggies, wine, and dessert were just delicious and the whole experience in Chiante was fantastic!

Very good food, great prices, and excellent service! We took the Chianti wine tour and one of the…read morestops was in Greve. The town is quant and very beautiful. In the "center" there are many shops including this butcher. We sat outside and tried many of their wines. We ordered the truffle panini, a cheese board, the tomato, onion, basil salad, and the bruschetta. The tomatoes are vibrant and juicy. You wont taste anything like it. The cheese board had thick cuts of different cheeses (no clue what types but the truffle one was my fave). It comes with honey and onion compote and bread. Again, the service has been incredible! They were so lovely here and you feel like family!

The vegetables are fresh picked - you can smell the earth- and about 1/ 3 the price of central Florence. The place is busy. Lots of locals. Inside are local goods, meat, poultry, cheese, and fish. You can't get any fresher. Olive oils and many other DTLA acids inside. Outside there are clothing vendors, farmers, plant sellers, jewelry and antiques. I highly recommend stopping by to get a local feel. Check times.

There are fewer crowds here, probably because of its location, which makes it a prime spot for food tours. We didn't do one but we just wandered around ourselves. There are fewer options here than Mercato Centrale but the trade off is that you don't have to deal with all the people. They sell a lot of the same stuff - fresh produce, meats, and some vendors selling food. We tried the tripe sandwich here, which wasn't as good as the other market, but still delicious. We also bought some strawberries outside, which might have been some of the best strawberries I've ever eaten in my life, so definitely don't sleep on those. Mercato di Sant'Ambrogio is worth the trek!
