Chianina beef, fresh bread and ingredients from small Tuscan farmers and artisans. Two Il Bovo locations in central Florence, close to the Uffizi and Santa Maria Novella station.
Il Bovo is an independent Florentine food project built around a simple idea: bringing genuine Tuscan ingredients into the centre of Florence through something as informal and immediate as a burger.
We work with a short, local supply chain and choose ingredients for where they come from and who makes them: Chianina beef, Tuscan pecorino, artisan cured meats, fresh bread and ingredients prepared in our kitchens every day.
The burger is the format. Tuscany is what is inside it 🌞
For visitors to Florence, the name Chianina may not mean much yet.
It is one of the historic cattle breeds of Tuscany and central Italy, closely connected with the agricultural tradition of the region and internationally known through Tuscan beef and the famous bistecca alla Fiorentina.
At Il Bovo we use Chianina in a different, more informal way: in a freshly prepared burger, together with ingredients that also come from the Tuscan food tradition.
It is our way of making good local produce accessible without turning it into something formal.
For us, local is not just a word on the menu.
Behind many of our ingredients there are small Tuscan businesses, farms and artisans that we know directly, for expample:
Podere Veridiani – Pistoia, a small farming reality where animal care, time and traditional methods still come before industrial production.
PecoraNera – Casentino, sheep farming and artisan cheesemaking in the hills of the Casentino, producing pecorino with a strong connection to its territory.
And alongside them, Tuscan bakers, butchers, cured-meat producers and other small artisans that form part of the Il Bovo supply chain.
Our starting point: Tuscan Chianina beef, fresh bread and combinations inspired by the ingredients of the region.
A traditional fresh Tuscan sausage, strongly associated with the countryside around Florence, served by Il Bovo in our own street-food style.
Made with carefully selected ingredients and our choice of toppings and sauces.
Our potatoes are prepared fresh and cut in-house rather than arriving as standard frozen fries.
Just a few steps from the Uffizi Gallery, Piazza della Signoria and Santa Croce.
Our Via dei Neri location is small, informal and right in the middle of Florence's historic centre. A convenient stop if you are visiting the Uffizi or walking between Piazza della Signoria and Santa Croce.
Uffizi Gallery: about 1 minute on foot!
Close to Firenze Santa Maria Novella railway station, the Central Market, San Lorenzo and the Duomo.
Via Nazionale is our larger location, with more seating and the possibility to reserve a table. It is particularly convenient for families, groups or anyone looking for local food close to the station.
Railway Station: about 1 minute on foot!
Il Bovo has two locations in central Florence, in Via dei Neri near the Uffizi Gallery and in Via Nazionale near Santa Maria Novella railway station. Chianina beef is at the heart of our burger menu.
