Trattoria Le Mossacce was founded on April 9, 1925. Initially, the establishment only sold wine. Shortly after, the founder Ottavio Turchi and his wife Olga decided to transform the business into a restaurant. Even during the war, the trattoria remained open, continuing to offer Tuscan dishes prepared with great passion. In 1945, a waiter named Gastone Mugnai purchased the restaurant. In 1965, management passed to Marcello Fantoni and the chef Antonio Meacci. Recently, three long-time employees took over the business to protect the establishment’s traditions.
The dishes change daily based on the season, just as they did in the past. The menu is simple and is still written by hand. The restaurant serves ancient Florentine recipes that are over ninety years old. For these reasons, the trattoria on Via del Proconsolo is very famous. Many important actors and directors have dined here; famous guests include Ugo Tognazzi, Jonny Dorelli, Ave Ninchi, Vittorio Gassman, Michele Placido, Giorgio Albertazzi, and Leonardo Pieraccioni.
