Dal Toscano

Vatican City, Borgo & Prati


Immerse yourself in the tastes of Tuscany at this old-fashioned ristorante. Meat is a highlight, with cured hams and salamis served as starters followed by grilled steaks. Menu highlights include a colossal chargrilled bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine-style steak) and ribollito, a thick Tuscan soup, served as a first course. Reservations recommended. Enjoy a table outside on the quiet street.
