Food in Florence

If its sponge cake your after, then try out Schiacciata alla fiorentina which is covered in icing or sometimes laced with whipped cream. Another dessert delicacy is cantuccini di Prato which are almond biscuits that one dips in a dessert wine.

The more celebrated conventional restaurants include Da Mario, Il Latini, Coco Lezzone andd La Casalinga ande many more. A more expensive restaurant but worth every penny would be LEnoteca Pinchiorri, or Cibreo, or else Cammillo, but you will probably need to reserve beforehand.

In Florence you will find many enoteche (wine bars) in this glorious city, where you will get a nice chianti with fava beans or even a nice panini. The LEnoteca de Giraldi and the La Sosta del Rossellino are well recommended. Tasty bruschette and appetisers are what one can have with their choice of wine.

Each pizzeria in Florence creates its own pizza and the crusts and base often tend to be thin and crispy and most are cooked in a wood fuelled oven, a practice now copied the world over. If you want a Neapolitan pizza, you ask for pizza with doppia pasta (double crust) and you will get a softer and thicker crust.

Ethnic restaurants have sprung up in recent years ranging from Caribbean at Lat Bodeguita and Indian at the Ashoka, to Japanese at the Momoyama and there is lots of Chinese to choose from. A Jewish restaurant can be found at the synagogue called the Kasher Ruths. If its food you have come for, you can rest assured that you will not be disappointed.
