For our second night in Florence, we had a walking tour that led us in front of the Santo Spirito Basilica, an area full of restaurants around a small park.
We decided to go to Borgo Antico, located in Piazza di Santo Spirito.

I did not see the interior of the restaurant as we decided to stay outside, the weather being perfect. I decided to order a glass of Spritz, a wine-based cocktail commonly served as an aperitif in Northeast Italy.
I enjoyed it with some black olives and bread.
We decided to just order an entree as we had other plans for dessert...Jodi ordered the pizza bianca con funghi misti e olio tartufato that is the white pizza with mozzarella, mushrooms and truffle oil.
It was a fairly good pizza with a wonderful truffle scent, but I would have preferred real truffle like other joint proposed.
On my side, I decided to order the linguine alle vongole or linguine with fresh clams, one of my favorite dishes.
The linguine were perfectly cooked and the sauce was fantastic. However, the clams were full of sand, so very grainy. Too bad.
This was just ok; I think we had much better meals in Florence, one of them in the same area, so next time, I will pass...
