I have a friend who just passed through Florence on his way to Naples where he spends a lot of time. Here is his report on his first pizzeria of the day. Good fun.
James
Pizzeria Sorbillo
Via Tribunale, 32
081-44.66.43
www.accademiadellapizza.it
founded by Gino Sorbillo in 1935
the Sorbillo family has 21 sons- all pizzaioli!
Margarita- 3 euro
Marinara - 2.3 euro
the highest price pizza was about 6 euro
one oven, 2 levels for dining
the marble tables were old and imperfect (not exactly
flat) with table numbers painted on to the center of
the table.
the pizza was large (flowing off the plate)
I started with the Margherita - just right- with a good
"burnt" flavor to the crust.
we proceded to the Marinara - genius...
also tried one with smoked provalona and pomodorini
(good flavor to the cheese, but too much cheese for
me)
we ended with an additional Marinara, this time with
olives, capers and salted anchovie. (even I ate the
anchovie)
2 kinds of beer, both Italian
next time I will try to get more oven info.
recommended. end of report.
