Lunch at 13 Gobbi

This is the 2nd time I have eaten at this restaurant. The service is excellent. I had sausages and white beans.
The front was filled with men, laughing drinking, eating.  Now, I wish I had had a steak as I see it is their specialty. 
I had a glass in Vin Santo with biscuits for dessert. 









 Vin Santo [vin ˈsanto] or Vino Santo [ˈviːno ˈsanto] ("holy wine") is a style of Italian dessert wine. Traditional in Tuscany, these wines are often made from white grape varieties such as Trebbiano and Malvasia, though Sangiovese may be used to produce a rosé style known as "Occhio di Pernice" or eye of the partridge. The wines may also be described as straw wines since they are often produced by drying the freshly harvested grapes on straw mats in a warm and well ventilated area of the house. However several producers dry the grapes by hanging on racks indoors. Though technically a dessert wine, the wines can vary in sweetness levels from bone dry (like a Fino Sherry) to extremely sweet. While the style is believed to have originated in Tuscany, examples of Vin Santo can be found throughout Italy and is an authorised style of wine for several Denominazione di origine controllata (DOCs) and Indicazione geografica tipica (IGTs).[1][2]
