La Schiacciata

Bite into the crispy, crunchy, uniquely Florentine bread known as schiacciata.

Tuscan Pasta

You can’t come to Italy without indulging in carbs! Next on the menu is pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale, a wide ribbon pasta with a sauce stewed in tomatoes and wild boar. Veramente delizioso.

La Trattoria

Taste your way through a traditional Florentine menu.

Il Gelato

What better way to finish a food tour of Florence than with a cone or cup of creamy, dreamy gelato 😋

Santa Croce District

Your tour ends in Piazza Santa Croce, the square at the heart of central Florence’s artisan neighbourhood and, after dark, a hub for the city’s nightlife.
