Itinerary

1. 1

   Piazza della Signoria

   10min

   Begin your foodie adventure in Piazza della Signoria, one of the best piazzas in Florence. Widely known as an outdoor art gallery, Piazza della Signoria is home to many sculptures and art vendors. Here, you will be able to spot Palazzo Vecchio, a beautiful palace dating back to the time of the Medici family. You can also spot a copy of Michelangelo’s David here. Your guide will introduce you to the Florence foodie scene, and off you go.

2. 2

   Stop 2

   20min

   Wander to a traditional buchetta del vino, "wine window" believed to be one of Florence’s oldest. Enjoy a glass of Tuscan wine and a crunchy tarallo as your guide shares stories of Renaissance-era merchants and quirky Florentine traditions.

3. 3

   Stop 3

   1h

   Next, settle into a cozy enoteca (wine shop) with a kitchen for a variety of Tuscan flavors. Enjoy Prosciutto, salami, two cheeses, tomato bruschetta, classic thick tomato soup known as pappa al pomodoro, and two different paccheri pasta dishes one with yellow tomato sauce and the other with classic tomato sauce. Then indulge in a tasting selection of Orange mustard, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. These tastings are paired with a locally sourced wine for the full Tuscan experience.

4. 4

   Ponte Vecchio

   On your way to the next stop, cross the iconic Ponte Vecchio. This bridge is the oldest in Florence and famous for the quirky shops built right into its sides.

5. 5

   Oltrarno

   45min

   Then it’s time for the star of the night. Sit down for a generous serving of Florentine steak, crisp on the outside and ruby-red inside, just as locals prefer. With roasted potatoes and a bold Tuscan red wine, this is a true Florentine feast.

6. 6

   Santo Spirito / San Frediano

   20min

   Your final stop is a beloved gelateria in the artsy Santo Spirito neighborhood. Savor a scoop (or two) of the city’s creamiest gelato as your guide shares final tips for exploring Florence’s food scene on your own.

   Piazza Santo Spirito

   5min

   Once dessert wraps up, the guided portion concludes. You’re free to linger in the lively square, enjoy another drink, or make your way back across the river at your own pace.
