 NERBONE has been stuffing stall owners and market patrons with Traditional Florentine dishes since the Central Market opened in 1874. At Nerbone you can taste the tripe, lampredotto, bollito sandwich, pappa al pomodoro, ribollita, beef roll and much more. Eat standingwith the crowd of old men at the side counter, sipping glasses of wine! Our recommendation is: do not go there between 12pm and 2pm :-( it can be quite packed with the lunch working crowd, so the line canbe long, although it moves like clockwork!!
