If its sponge cake your after, then try out Schiacciata alla fiorentina
which is covered in icing or sometimes laced combined with whipped cream.
Another dessert delicacy is cantuccini di Prato which are almond
biscuits that one dips in a dessert wine.
The more famous traditional 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 book in
advance.
There are also many enoteche or wine bars in this glorious city,
where you will get a nice chianti combined 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 combined with their choice of wine.
Each pizzeria in Florence makes its own pizza and the Florentine
crusts tend to be thin and crispy, cooked in a wood fuelled oven.
If you want a Neapolitan pizza, you ask for pizza combined 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.
