PRICE:
Frommer's Highly Recommended

Nerbone has been stuffing stall owners and market patrons with excellent Florentine cucina povera ("poor people's food") since the Mercato Centrale opened in 1874. You can try trippa alla fiorentina, pappa al pomodoro, or a plate piled with boiled potatoes and a single fat sausage. But the mainstay here is a panino con bollito, a boiled beef sandwich that's bagnato (dipped in the meat juices). Eat standing with the crowd of old men at the side counter, sipping glasses of wine or beer, or fight for one of the few tables against the wall.
