What to expect

  1. Pass by
    Meet your Local Food Expert by the obelisk and begin your culinary adventure through the city. Our food tour offers a delicious overview of local specialties, from carefully selected cured meats and cheeses to handmade pastas, fresh schiacciata, and finishing with authentic gelato—a true taste of the city’s culinary delights.
  2. 45m
    We begin by stepping into the world of the Florentine wines by pausing at a traditional wine bar in the heart of city to enjoy a glass of red wine, ranging from the renowned Chianti to elegant local white varieties. In a relaxed and authentic setting, you’ll discover the depth and character of the region’s winemaking tradition through a carefully selected glass of wine.
  3. Palazzo Medici Riccardi
    45m
    Next, taste traditional handmade pici or other classic Tuscan pasta, all prepared with care in a top-ranking trattoria near Palazzo Medici Ricciardi. As you savor each bite, take in the grandeur of this Renaissance palace, once home to one of Florence’s most influential families. The surrounding streets, filled with history and character, add to the experience, allowing you to enjoy authentic local flavors while immersing yourself in the elegance and vibrant atmosphere of the city’s historic heart.
  4. Piazza Santa Trinita
    45m
    You cannot leave Florence without trying the traditional Pappa al Pomodoro and Ribollita. Both dishes come from the farmers’ tradition and have been prepared the same way for generations. Enjoy them in one of the city’s most typical and lively trattorias near Piazza Santa Trinità, where the charm of the square—with its elegant Renaissance architecture and bustling atmosphere—makes every bite even more memorable.
  5. 30m
    And if you still have room, we’ll stop on Via dei Neri for a Florentine street food treat: the delicious schiacciata, a fluffy focaccia generously filled with the finest local ingredients. As you enjoy this tasty snack, take in the lively atmosphere of one of Florence’s most famous streets, filled with local shops, historic buildings, and the energy of the city’s vibrant food scene.
  6. Ponte Santa Trinita
    30m
    Finally, a sweet ending to our tour: depending on availability and the season, you’ll enjoy the best gelato in Florence or a traditional treat in a historic pastry shop, such as cantucci or other local specialties.
