With great authentic food with a modern twist, fine atmosphere, wide selection of wines and good value this is one of our favorites. It’s always busy so make sure you reserve a table. You can have a glass of wine and a small plate at the informal “Santino” next door, while you wait for your table.

Do not leave Florence before trying the infamous " Panino con Lampredotto" at one of the kiosks in the center. The one by Porcellino fountain is considered the best but my favorite is the kiosk in Piazza De Cimatori where they also serve "Panino col Bollito", which is lean brisket (for the less-adventurous eaters)

A vinyl shop hidden above a restaurant bar by the Duomo. My favorite thing is to order a Negroni downstairs and drink it in the vinyl shop above while browsing records & listening to some great tunes. The view on the Battistero and Duomo is to die for.

The central town of the Chianti hills. Head south on the scenic 222 "Chiantigiana" route, visit one of the wineries on the way and finally have a break in the central square of Greve. Antica Macelleria Falorni is a must. Also suggest visiting the nearby stone hamlet of Montefioralle.
