What it is
Beef tripe slow-cooked in tomato sauce and finished with Parmigiano cheese.
Taste translation
If you like rich, slow-cooked stews and don’t mind trying a more old-school local dish, this is for you.
Zen's note
Similar to Rome’s version but with Parmigiano instead of Pecorino and mint. Florentines eat this at the market or from street carts. Pure tradition.
