Same room, same menu, same butter chicken since 1869.
A white-tiled, ten-table room near Santa Maria Novella with handwritten menus and communal tables. The butter chicken (petti di pollo al burro) — chicken breasts fried in excessive butter — is the dish. The artichoke tart is the other. Cash only. Closed Saturdays and Sundays. It goes by Il Troia.
