Food, drinks and all their glory
Breakfast 🥐☕️
Italians are light breakfast eaters. It usually consists of a coffee (an espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, etc) and sometimes a pastry, biscotti, or fruit if at home. In some places, there’s an additional charge if you sit down at one of their tables outside.
A timeless , traditional and gorgeous place to get your morning fix.

The best place for craft coffee, and all of its modern derivates! They use locally roasted coffee from Florentine-owned companies. Very knowledgeable staff and beautiful atmosphere!

Gelato 🍦
Avoid any place where they stack gelato like towers, that is NOT gelato. Gelato should be flat. Avoid places where the pistachio gelato is bright green - that’s a good indicator it’s artificial. It should also cost around €2-3 per cone. If you are ever charged €6 or more for a normal cone, don’t take it, don’t pay it, walk away and tell them “vaffanculo”, which in Florentine it means “your gelato is overpriced and I’m not letting you rip me off”.
The gelato of your dreams. My favorite place in the whole city, sometimes there’s a line but IT IS WORTH IT. Promise.

If you like chocolate, you’re in for trouble. This gelateria is the holy grail of gelato chocolate flavors and it is laced with drugs because you won’t be able to stop eating it.

Snack & wine 🍷
Traditionally Tuscan and delicious spots to sit for very casual cold cuts/panini/snacks and a glass of wine for lunch or aperitivo
Old school kinda place where old Italian men congregate and get away from their wives. Good vibes.

Their wine selection is *chefs kiss*. A little less casual in terms of food, as they have more gourmet options, but def a place you can stop by whenever you want to have a bite to eat whether it’s lunch, aperitivo, or actual dinner, which they offer here, too.

This place is dangerously good. Regional wine and cold cuts/cheese for super decent prices, and the most “locals” vibe you could get. At night, this part of the street gets taken over by locals.

Solid spots 🍽
Excellent restaurants with typical Italian dishes, more extensive menus and several food options (so you don’t have to choose between pizza, pasta, steak, etc).
Wonderful typical Florentine eatery. They have ridiculously good cold cut and cheese platters, and wood fired pizza. It is always full of locals, not a lot of tourists know about it. Perfect after your walk up to the Piazzale Michelangelo. Call in advance to book a spot!

This is a perfect place for getting the Italian experience: eating al fresco in the piazza (Santo Spirito), people watching, musicians playing the accordion, and really good food! Wait list on busy weekends at dinner time, so put your name on the list as soon as you get to the Piazza, and then go get a drink or sit by the fountain while you wait.

Casual & traditional hearty meals 🍅🧄
A trattoria is a traditional Tuscan/Florentine low-key place to eat, where locals go often. The food has a home-cooked vibe, like your nonna would make!
My go to place for lunch or aperitivo! Family owned, no-frills traditional Italian cozy vibe. It feels like home!
You can sit on the chairs outside or by the bar and sip on a glass of wine while eating some finger foods (crostini, bruschetta, etc), or go to the underground “cave” and have delicious local dishes. It’s 2 minutes from the apartment, too!

I love these guys. They make only a handful of dishes per day, “pasta of the day” “soup of the day” kinda vibe, with a few other staples. You sit where there is a spot, which means you might (will) share a table with other people. Italian family vibe.
