I know that aperitivi are the thing, but I’m not really in the mood for that as we’ll be traveling all day before dinner and all the next day. Staying by Giardino Sambuy.
Back in 2016 we absolutely loved Ristorante Consorzio

Ristorante Del Cambio was excellent too but more formal. Given your itenirary I would go for a more relaxed vibe of Consorzio.
Looks great but full. I’ll try the waiting list.
Just checked my calendar - Contesto Alimentare was another, not so formal place we enjoyed.
