Birreria Centrale

The Birreria Centrale is a restaurant and brewery in the centre of Florence. A really welcoming family venue where you will always be greeted with a smile. The friendly environment happily blends an Italian and Tuscan cuisine with that of South Tyrol, Austria and Germany.
This is what lies behind the success of the Birreria Centrale, a restaurant that first opened in the late 19th century and which was totally refurbished in 1980. The Central Brewery was the first Florentine pub where it was possible to drink quality beers accompanied by exquisite snacks. Then the restaurant was transformed into a proper restaurant in the early 90s, though still preserving its former warmth and hospitality. Alessandro and Massimiliano, the Galli brothers, have developed a form of cuisine that includes specialities from South Tyrol, as well as Austria and Germany, together with Tuscan and Italian platters. Starters include polenta croutons with speck, the excellent Prague roulades, mushrooms and cheese, smoked sausages with mustard and cucumber and Tyrolean roulades. First courses boast the really excellent Valtellina pizzocheri pasta, alongside more exotic dishes, such as a vegetable cous cous. As for the main courses, you can find German würstel with sauerkraut and potatoes, a tasty smoked pork shank with sauerkraut and potatoes, a large white smoked würstel dish, with sauerkraut and potatoes, the Val Senales platter of smoked steaks or, alternatively, the wonderful friendship dish that includes the best of all the various proposals on the menu… then there are traditional dishes like the Florentine T-bone steak or sliced steak with balsamic vinegar. The home produced beers are of excellent quality. There is also a remarkable range of Tuscan wines and an excellent selection of grappa and spirits. The outdoor dining area in Piazzetta dei Cimatori is delightful.
