After a long day of walking around Florence, we freshened up at our hotel and went out to a late dinner. We ended up at a local Trattoria near our hotel (da i'Conte Diladdarno http://www.contediladdarno.it/) where we had a delicious traditional Tuscan meal. The waiter brought out flavoured grappa at the end of the meal and had a drink with us, we had mint, cinnamon, chilli and chocolate. My favourites were the chocolate and chilli, delicious!!
