Itinerary
- 1Begin your foodie adventure in Piazza della Signoria, one of the best piazzas in Florence. Widely known as an outdoor art gallery, Piazza della Signoria is home to many sculptures and art vendors. Here, you will be able to spot Palazzo Vecchio, a beautiful palace dating back to the time of the Medici family. You can also spot a copy of Michelangelo’s David here. Your guide will introduce you to the Florence foodie scene, and off you go.

On your first stop, visit Via dei Neri, a Florentine known specifically for its food. The street is lined with dozens of panino shops, all with freshly cured meats and delicious cheeses. During lunch time, this street is filled with hungry travelers and Florentines waiting for a good meal. Stop at a local shop for aperitivo, meaning a quick bite before dinner time. Taste some ribollita, bruschetta and local samples of meats and cheeses. Wash it all down with some delicious vino.
- 3
Walk toward the Arno River and see Florence’s most famous and colorful bridge. The Ponte Vecchio centuries ago used to be the hot spot for fishmongers, butchers and the like to barter and sell their goods. Now, you’ll find the bridge lined mainly with jewelers. Cross over the bridge to access to Oltrarno area, a neighborhood more populated with locals than tourists.

A trip to Tuscany is not complete without some fine wine. At a local wine shop, taste delicious pairings of wine, with some local samplings of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. And if you like what you’re tasting, feel free to buy a bottle to share with your family and friends at home.

Now, the main event. Sit down to a delicious dinner that will top off your entire Florence food tour experience. In a serene trattoria, enjoy a mouth-watering dinner starting out with a real Tuscan Ribollita. Then, enjoy a savory plate of Florentine steak, a juicy and tender cut of beef. It’s served rather rare, but not to worry, it’s delicious.
Concluding the meal you'll enjoy local delicious cantucci and vinsanto.
