We begin with a classic Florentine aperitivo on Via Guelfa, a vibrant street in the heart of Florence’s historic center. Here, the charm of local life blends with centuries of history, from elegant palaces to bustling shops. You will enjoy a tempting selection of Tuscan cured meats and local cheeses, perfectly paired with a glass of regional wine. As you savor each bite, take in the sights and sounds of this lively street, truly experiencing the spirit of Florence.

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.

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.

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.
