Florentine steak
A must try and try again while staying in downtown Florence, a true icon of local gastronomy: this is a thick-cut beef steak, usually Chianina or Maremmana, prepared over charcoal, is served rare, often with simple side dishes such as beans in oil or fresh salad.
Ribollita
If you don’t know what to eat in Florence this is the answer for you: a hearty dish composed of bread, black cabbage, cannellini beans and other vegetables.
It is called “ribollita” because it is traditionally reheated and eaten the day after it is prepared, allowing the flavors to mingle and intensify.
Pappa al pomodoro
Consisting of bread, fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, and a generous drizzle of olive oil, pappa al pomodoro is a creamy and comforting poor man’s cuisine dish.
Lampredotto
A delicacy stuffed with cow’s stomach, slow-cooked in an aromatic broth and offered in a bun soaked in green and spicy sauce.
The most representative example of Florentine street food.
Cantucci and Vin Santo
Cantucci are crunchy almond cookies dipped in vin santo, a Tuscan dessert wine. This combination creates a perfect balance of texture and flavor-the best way to end a meal in Florence.
