The best Pizzeria is « La Rosa Rossa » Via dei Georgofili 79, down Via Carpaccio behind
Piazzale Caravaggio. Always crowded and a bit noisy but quick service and good pizza. A
cheap Chinese-Italian mixture next door in Via Salvatore di Giacomo, 87.
In Via Rava’61/69(continuation of Via Accademia Ambrosiana) , “Chattanooga”, a Mexican style place with lot of giant TV screens
for football fans. For fish “Il Campidano” on Via Fontebuono, expensive but excellent.
