Some parting words from Jovo....

In search of an authentic experience
Of the Italian variety if you please
On advice from apartment manager Luca
We found Raddi restaurante with some ease

Named after local boxer
Raddi Luciano of Florenz
Obviously a place to go
Meet up with local friends

I was craving muscles
In tomato base with wine
They threw in baby octopus
It tasted just divine

The way the tomato sauce
Infused with garlic and with herb
To say it melted on my tongue
Would not be abuse of the verb

I just had to wash it down
With home made red vino from a vat in store
Watching as the owners toddler son
Gave his mum and dad what for

The best part was that the place was filled
With locals having their lunchtime meal
No tourists apart from yours truly
The moment quite surreal

If ever you find yourself in Florence
Search upon a map to find
Raddi restaurant of Via de Seraggli
It will truly blow your mind
