Trattoria dell'Abbondanza

Pistoia


Dine al fresco in a quiet street or plump for a table inside where homey collections of doorbells, pasta jars et al catch the eye at this enchanting Slow Food favourite. Cuisine is seasonal Tuscan: begin perhaps with spelt with green peas and goat's-cheese fondue, followed by stewed octopus in tomato sauce or a meaty mix of fried beef tongue and cheek.
