What to expect

1

Piazza della Repubblica

Our food tour offers an overview of the many tasty specialities of the city, moving from selected cured meats and cheeses to different types of pasta, strictly kneaded by hand.

2

Via Guelfa

We start with the typical Florencian aperitivo tasting cured meats and local cheeses from Tuscany.

3

Palazzo Medici Riccardi

After that, the first dish will be the traditional Potatoes tortelli or the tasty pici. Strictly kneaded by hand in a top-ranking trattoria of Firenze. A must-try!

4

Piazza Santa Trinita

You cannot leave Florence without having tried the traditional "Pappa al pomodoro" and the "Ribollita". Both dishes from the farmers’ tradition, wisely prepared in the same way for generations, in one of the most typical and lively trattorias of Florence.

5

Via dei Neri

And if you weren't full enough, there's also a Florentine street food stop. The delicious schiacciata, a "focaccia" stuffed with local products of the highest quality.

6

Ponte Santa Trinita

Finally, a dessert to end our tour. Depending on availability and season, we will taste the best gelato in Florence or a typical sweet in a historic pastry shop.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
