Traditional Sweet Dishes
Cantucci
Cantucci are twice-baked almond biscuits traditionally dunked into Vin Santo, a pairing that began in Florence centuries ago and turned a humble peasant treat into a ritual dessert.
Gelato
Gelato, invented in Renaissance Florence for the Medici court, uses less fat and is served slightly warmer than ice cream, which concentrates flavor and makes each spoonful intensely aromatic.
Schiacciata alla Fiorentina
Schiacciata alla Fiorentina is a light, citrus-scented Carnival cake dusted with powdered sugar in the shape of the Florentine lily, and it was once given as a token of celebration during Carnival parades.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Bistecca alla Fiorentina
Bistecca alla Fiorentina is a towering T-bone from Chianina cattle, grilled over hot wood and traditionally served very rare so the center remains tender, a shared centerpiece at festive tables.
Ribollita
Ribollita literally means 'reboiled', it began as a thrifty peasant stew of leftover bread and vegetables that improves with each reheating, earning it a reputation as Tuscany’s most forgiving soup.
Lampredotto
Lampredotto is Florence’s iconic tripe sandwich, slow-simmered for hours and dressed with tangy sauces, it was once the affordable meal of laborers and now defines Florentine street food.
Traditional Beverages
Chianti
Chianti’s iconic straw-covered bottle once protected fragile glass during transport, and today the wine is identified more by its Sangiovese grape and the black rooster emblem that marks Chianti Classico.
Vin Santo
Vin Santo is a sweet, amber dessert wine made from dried grapes that is often aged for years in small barrels, and its centuries-old pairing with cantucci remains a Florentine culinary love story.
Espresso
Espresso in Florence is a ritual as much as a drink, pulled to a concentrated 25 to 30 seconds to capture intense aroma, and enjoyed quickly at the bar rather than lingered over like other coffees.

Food is unreal, fresh pasta every day, but expect crowds in summer; three days felt perfect for the city center.
Charming streets and insane art, food way better than expected. Crowds in July were brutal, go early or late.
Sunset on the Arno is magical, even with crowds. Bring a light jacket and comfy shoes for the cobbled streets.
Book Uffizi timed entry for the 8:15 opening, you beat the huge lines. Also buy tram tickets in the app to avoid queues.
First entry to Accademia beats crowds if you want David. Check combined museum passes, they can cut costs if used.
