Trattoria Da Garabaldi, Florence

Meatballs! I researched Best Meatballs in Florence...( Meatballs are more of a Rome thing)...but I found this restaurant that had great reviews...It was behind the main Mercato and as I got closer I thought...oh no, not somewhere I have been...I wanted to find somewhere new...it was right next to a place I go to all of the time, ZaZa...The meatballs were fantastic,  but small ones, and the sauce was great and I don't really like red sauce. I also ordered the sliced beef with shaved parmesean and arugula...it was just ok...not the best cut of beef...but the service was wonderful. By the time I left, the inside was completely full. I have now learned that I will no longer play by the rules when ordering. I always feel like I have to play by the rules...order an appetizer, a pasta and then a main dish...in this case, I ordered an appetizer , skipped the pasta  but did order a main...what if I wanted to just order 2 appetizers? or just pasta...Florence is meat heavy and I am a bit turned off by it. ...I will not be bullied into ordering in a certain way.. I never have dessert or coffee .
