Great Food! They offer samplers of their salads and pastas. You just order the sampler and they portion it out to fit your group size. With the salads you get three different ones to taste and with the pastas you get five to taste. I also reccomend the balsamic steak it was delicious! The prices are...

Ristorante Arnolfo is a very small top restaurant in an old and renovated building in Colle di Val d'Elsa, near Siena. Because they only offer arround 6 tables (for four persons) it is very familiar. The ambience is calm with quiet and relaxing music. Staff is friendly but seems not very motivated s...

Well, let me just say that this became my favorite cafe in the week I was in Florence. If you like coffee, this is THE place to go! It was like they took the Starbucks idea of offering all kinds of choices and tastes and blended it with the European coffee culture. I had something new each time I we...

We went for the multi-course meals this night. Mike & Jeff had cinghiale (wild boar) sausage and fresh pecorino. Mike continued with flattened green gnocchetti with Parmesan zabaione and truffle slices, insalata, beef stew, and au gratin potatoes shared by all. Also fritto misto (very light, non-gre...

I loved this cooking class! I don’t know if it’s actually available for people who are just coming to visit, as the classes were once a week for three weeks. There probably are places that offer classes you can sign up for as you travel though…and I highly recommend that you do if you have the...

This is the place to go if you want to try real food from Tuscany, including traditional soups and the famous T-bone steak.
The food is really good and the price is fair. You can order everything from starter to dessert and pay around 30 euros (of course it's the steak that makes it expensive).
Th...

Great food. Great service. Franco, who is apparently a manager, is hilarious. Other waiter knowledgeable about wine. Very U.S. friendly. Almost all patrons that night were from U.S. Franco included a lone diner, Lainie, with our groups. We attempted to dine outside, but it was too windy. Great wine ...

The Trattoria Omero is one of the best restaurants in
Florence, Italy – and maybe the world.Situated in the hills above Florence, it is possible to walk
to Omero, although most of its patrons arrive by taxi from the city below. On
occasion, I have walked there, and I recommend this method o...

Not really authentic Italian food (I think it's actually Mediterranean cuisine), but great food nonetheless. My sister and I ordered the rice and bean soup, which was so hearty and perfectly seasoned - the BEST soup I've ever had. I also got one of the daily specials, a salmon pasta dish, which was ...

Probably the best gelato in the world. I have had gelato in Rome, Milan, Tourin, Orvieto, and several other Italian cities. I have had "gelato" in New York, Los Angeles, and Boston.This is the best. I have never had better. Another great gelato place in Florence is Perche No? But even Perche No is n...

If you in Florence and craving some american style eggs and ham, MoYo is the place to go! Although I didn't have a pleasant time interacting with the staff, the breakfast completely made up for it!

If you get hungry for some very good Mexican food while away, I would recommend this place. It was recommended to me by two Mexican friends I met while in Florence. While in Florence you should take the time to go to Fiesole and climb to the top of the city where there is a tiny little monestary. Th...

Very fun bar located in Piazza Mercato Centrale. A door man named Mimo greats his guests daily with continuous humor. I learned most of Italian slang from him. The bar is definately for the college traveler. Nightly specials and students from all around the world.

I found this restaurant during the second night a friend and I spent in Firenze. We were walking back from Il Duomo and we were starving, so we started walking around hoping to find a decent place to eat. Eventually we ran into this place "Cafe Caracol" and it just got our attention because it looke...
