Enjoy meats roasted in wood-fired ovens where renowned artist Francisco Goya once worked as a dishwasher.Ristorante Buca San Giovanni, ItalyOriginally a church edifice dating back to the 14th century, where medieval religious groups held secret meetings in the cellar, the famed Florence ristorante still serves classic Tuscan dishes beneath low, curved stone ceilings under the watchful gaze of pious statues.Union Oyster House, BostonThe city’s oldest eatery, opened in 1826, sits in a building that predates the American Revolution.
