On the programme

Florence’s and Tuscany’s gastronomic tradition, are also well known. Yet, for this reason, it could be difficult to decide and make the right choice about food.That’s why we create a Florence food tour, that offers an overview of the many tasty specialties of the city, moving from selected cured meats and cheeses, to different types of pasta, strictly kneaded by hand.

POSSIBLE TASTINGS:

Cured meats and local cheeses from Tuscany - a traditional Florencian aperitivo, tasting local meats, cheeses and toasted bread, along with a glass of Chianti, in the framework of one of the oldest and most famous wine shop.
Potatoes tortelli - a recipe from Mugello, the hill country area around Florence. Rectangular and stuffed with potatoes, parmesan cheese, walnut, and salt. Strictly kneaded by hand in a top ranking trattoria of Firenze.
Pici - the traditional spaghetti from Tuscany kneaded by hand and topped with an extraordinary sauce of black cabbage and bacon (other options are available upon choice).
Schiacciata: a savory twist on the classic schiacciata fiorentina, which is usually a sweet bread. In this version, cured meats and cheese are sandwiched between the soft, flavorful bread, offering a delicious, satisfying treat.
Pappa al pomodoro - a dish from the farmers’ tradition, wisely prepared in the same way since generations, in one of the most typical and lively trattoria of Florence.
Ribollita - one cannot leave Florence without having tried this traditional soup made with bread and vegetables. Eating is believing!
