I am going to Florence (Italy - in case there's another...) and visiting the Galleria d'Accademia. I wonder if someone knows and likes a restaurant near there for lunch? (via Ricosoli) Thanks, Deb

<<Another spot in that neighboorhood worth checking out is Le Jardin (classic French, with a, uh, jardin).>> Thank you OPJK - a very comprehensive reply! I will check out Le Jardin - also I Trulli was recommended... merci et grazie.

I am trying to arrange a dinner for 3 people and we want to eat outside in a garden. There have been, on other websites, many positive comments about The Rialto on Elizabeth Street but only for parties of 10-20. I wonder if it is just as "great" for a small group, or if a small group will end up having a horrible time because they're seated next to all these parties of 20 who are whooping it up and having their great time. Also, just by the tone of these very positive reviews, I fear it is "great" in the Perillo Tours/ Olive Garden sense of great... does anyone know? thanks, Deb

FYI -- I believe that the Miracle Grill that had outdoor seating no longer exists. There is another one on Bleeker Street, but it does not offer a garden, and may not even have sidewalk seating.
