Here are my favorite places in Florence, city of (imho) great food:
Trattoria Le Mossacce on via del Pronconsolo, 55r (where "r" stands for the
red numbers on the bldgs...as opposed to the black numbers.) This place is
GREAT!  It's almost like an Italian diner in that you can watch the guys
cooking your meal.  If you know Italian, you won't even need a menu; the
guys just come over and tell you what's cooking. There's a jug of wine on
every table.  You just tell the guy at the cash register what you had as
you leave.
Trattoria da Benvenuto (via dei Neri, 47r)  I had their gnocchi with
tomato/eggplant sauce and was in heaven!
There's also a neat market near the open-air San Lorenzo Market. It's a
gorgeous old wrought-iron building with lots of veggies for sale on the 2nd
floor. And here are 2 restaurants I've never been to, but wanted to:
Trattoria Coco Lezzone (via del Parioncino, 26r, off via Parione) It always
looked wonderful and was highly recommended by locals, as well as by Let's
Go.  A friend of mine went there and raved about it. Let's Go says to get
their pasta porcini fresca. (How can you go wrong with porcini mushrooms?)
Stazione da Zima (via Ghibbelina 70r)  Let's Go says: "No Sign. Healthy
food for herbivores.  First course choices (L4500) include house
specialties like riso integrale (brown rice) and pasta al pesto. Stuffed
tomatoes provide a satisfying secondo (L5500). They've also got a great
crunchy bulletin board with notices of environmental activities. [Which
reminds me, I've never been to Florence and not seen students marching in
the streets about something. --cb]
And here are a few recommendations for Venice, city of relatively bad food.
The write-ups are from Let's Go, 1993/4:
In the Castello part, I liked one of these two restaurants a lot. (I didn't
mark which one in my book.  It's one of those, "I'd recognize it if I were
there" things...pretty sure it's the first one. Another way to find it is
to ask where the gondolier's eat.)
Trattoria Alla Rivetta, Castello, 9625 (tel 528 73 02).  Off campo SS.
Filippo e Giacomo which lies just east of p. San Marco -- the restaurant's
squeezed in to the right before the Ponte San Provolo. One of the only
genuine and reasonable places in the area. Open Tues./Sun. 11am-11pm
Trattoria Chinellato, Castello, 4227 (tel 523 60 25, on calle Albanesi a
few doors down from campo SS. Filippo e Giacomo. Gregarious proprietor will
make you feel right at home.  Get your salivary glands going by peeking
through the window first. Open Wed-Mon., 9-9.
Found this one, but the proprietor was in a bad mood and didn't seem to be
seating tourists for some reason...but it sure smelled good in there! I'd
try it again if I went back. Osteria Al Mascaron, Castello, 5225 (tel 259
95) on calle longa Santa Maria Formosa, which runs off campo Santa Maria
Formosa, northeast of p. San Marco.  The ultimate in informal osteria
eating.  Filled with chattering Venetians taking a wine break or enjoying
delicious specialties...  Open mid-Jan to mid-Dec., Mon.-Sat. 10:30am-3pm
and 7-10:30pm.
In the Dorsoduro part: Da Silvio, Dorsoduro, 3748 (tel. 520 58 33), on
calle S. Pantalon near the campo of the same name. Delicious fare served up
in the trattoria's garden...Pasta from L3500.  Open Mon.-Sat. 9-3:30 and
5:45-11
Also in Dorsoduro, but didn't get to go in.  They were closed each time I
was in the area: Crepizza, Dorsoduro 3757 (tel. 522 91 89), on calle San
Pantalon off calle Crosera across from da Silvio.  Look for the hanging
sign.  Crepes and pizza served with zeal.  Open Wed.-Mon. noon-2:30pm and
7-10:30pm.
