Vivanda

Oltrarno


The focus of this modern enoteca, small interior packed jaw to jowl with tables, is organic wine. Locally sourced products ensure a delightful early-evening tasting of different organic wines perfectly paired with ash-aged pecorino (sheep’s milk cheese), bufala ricotta cheese and Cienta Senese salami. Table reservations recommended.

Wine tasting and occasional live jazz too.
