Located near Florence's attractions in the city center, this restaurant provides a nice respite for tourists and locals looking for a quick bite--the tasty food came at an amazing value, though the service seemed a bit standoffish.

Was looking for a change-of-pace from consecutive days of Italian cuisine. Had a sneaking…read moresuspicion that Greek food might be better in Italy than it is in the States, and I was spot on. Super nice staff greeted us when we walked in, and the interior looks small but inviting. We ended up ordering carryout (or, "takeaway," as they say here), and the food was a pleasant surprise. The Greek salad doesn't have lettuce, but the tomatoes, feta, capers, olives, onions, etc. are very fresh and delicious. The tsatsiki is creamy and tart, and is a a excellent complement to the Greek chicken souvlaki. And...the souvlaki is so flavorful and so fresh, that it was a unanimous hit. If you are in the mood for something other than pasta, give this place a try!

The eggplant dish was the best I've ever had in my life - and I'm 54. The service was excellent and our friendly, helpful waitress was fluent in English and generous in answering our questions. The front of the restaurant has a countertop and is brightly lit, but the main seating patio in the back is quiet, pleasantly dark, and small but roomy (there is plenty of space between the tables which we found was not often the case in crowded Florence). I highly recommend this hidden gem!

People always say you can never have a bad meal in Italy. Whether or not you agree is really quite…read moreirrelevant because the fact of the matter is you can never have a bad meal in Italy! If you're a fan of Italian food a visit to Tuscany will just open your eyes to amazing possibilities. While there are restaurants that abound this region it's always a pleasure of mine to find those hidden gems that only the locals know about. Case and point this humble establishment Farid Kebab in Prato. My friend Francesco mentioned how good this place was so we had to give it a try. Now I've had my fare shares of halal food here in the states and other places but this would be my first in Italy. This hole-in-the-wall, which in this case is truly in the literal sense since the store is the size of a closet, serves up some delicious Mediterranean food. The meat sizzles from the gyro machine and for a couple of euros you can have a choice of a combo platter or an all meat platter that has a generous portion of food. And by generous I truly mean a crap load! No complaints here. We ordered the combo platter and the meat platter. For less than 15 euros for both dishes the deal was a bargain. The meat platter consisted of a sizable helping of meat shaved from the turning machine of meaty-ness, with mayonnaise, ketchup, tzatziki sauce, and hot sauce in between the two layers. You read that right people they pile on the meat, add the amazing combo of sauces, and then add another layer of meat!!! They do the same thing with the combo platter but also add fresh vegetables, French fries, onions, etc. and then top with more meat then drizzled with the heavenly sauces. I keep drooling every time I think back on that fateful night. I think I need to contact those guys running the place and see if I can borrow their recipe. I bet you this place would make bank here in the states. So as I said in the beginning you can never have a bad meal in Italy. And based on this humble place ain't no one changing my viewpoint anytime soon.
