Definitely the Trattoria Cibrèo. It's right next door to the famous Cibrèo restaurant, the food comes from the same kitchen but it's about a third of the price! We shared a long outdoor table with some Italians, and the food was amazing!
It's near Santa Croce: Via de' Macci 122r. Not sure if they take reservations... but: Tel: 055-234-1100
