The setting is very special, in a renovated area of the old prison of Florence, right on the outskirts of the historic center. When the weather allows it, the tables outside, located in one of the prison courtyards, are very suggestive. As for the name "literary", it probably refers to some photos of writers hanging on the walls and to the few books in a room: I don't know if there are also literary promotion activities.

The prices are very competitive: with 8 ( 7 for students) you can have the menu of the day (first and second course, with a choice of 3 offers, bread and water); the portions, however, I would call them "demonstrative" and if you need to fill your stomach, it is inevitable to take a few laps!
Having been there for lunch, I cannot comment on the evening offer: I don't know if it is a suitable place for an aperitif, or to munch on something easier with a beer: if so, the atmosphere would be the right one!
Really sore point, the toilets: it almost seems that those intended for prisoners have remained in use! If you can, hold it back ...
