Where to eat Central-Italian food in Florence: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Central-Italian food in Florence, Province of Florence, Italy. History and art converge in the open-air museum that is Florence, the capital of the Italian Renaissance. A typical day can consist of charming walks through historic streets, alternating between popular shops with local products and savory bites of food. A stroll along the river Arno will delight anyone with the colors of the Ponte Vecchio. Relax at night with a lively aperitif in Santo Spirito, a beer in Piazza Santa Croce or an amazing panoramic view from Piazzale Michelangelo.

Not far from the crowded Piazza della Signoria, located in one of the side streets, you can find this little restaurant.It doesnât look like much from the outside but they serve great sandwiches and pasta too.The lasagna I ordered was delicious and the prices are very reasonable.A glass of wine starts from 2 EUR and the best thing is that they donât charge you a service fee (which is rare in Italy) when you eat inside.Not many sitting places so go early or later on the day to make sure you have a seat.

We loved our visit to SandwiChic, the manager was extremely helpful helping us with the menu and offering suggestions on what to order! The sandwiChic of the day was delicious, the flavours complimented each other and the bread was springy and light. Hope we get chance to return!

We are a cozy activity in the historic center of Florence. We mainly deal with Tuscan products, especially small agricultural productions, which differentiate us from large commercial distribution. In our shop we make cutting boards and panini / schiaccia

So glad we ventured off from the palazzos. Stumbled across this tiny âVineriaâ with an excellent & tasty choice of cheese & meats paired with a wide variety of regional wines all at reasonable prices. A little gem in the hustle & bustle of Florence. Could have spent the whole afternoon there.

What a memorable experience! The food was delicious and locally sourced. The server was so delightful and engaging. He clearly loves interacting with tourists and talking about this family farm. He took the time to explain the significance of each dish we were tasting and provided a learning experience for making garlic bread! We absolutely loved eating at Fattoria Rossi.

The food is delicious. I probably had the best dish here during my whole stay in Florence. Loved it. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is beautiful and well situated. However, itâs really expensive for relatively small quantities in comparaison to other restaurants Iâve been in Florence and Italy. We had a really nice time there but I think itâs a bit too expensive. Iâd recommend!

Run by young locals who grew up in the meat industry, these guys are passionate about their food and it shows in the way they present and deliver their menu. The food itself is absolutely delicious, particularly the meats. The waiter is knowledgeable and assists you in pairing wines with the meal. All in all, an amazing experience, away from the tourist traps, highly recommend!

We were warmly greeted, advised and helped by the owner who made the effort of speaking French with us. He also had menus in a lot of different languages which is very rare. My first time trying panini wasnât disappointing at all, it was delicious! Cheap, tasty, made with quality ingredients and large portion too! Bread was crispy, there was a lot meat (not too much bread). Also very well-located in Florence. I can only recommend and would totally go again and try other panini and boards/plates. Thank you!!

From the idea of a florentine young man and a calabrian young woman, the most "spicy" tuscan-calabrian panini place is arrived in Florence!

Daniele and his wife Valentina run the most incredible restaurant in the city of Florence. I always have a conversation with Daniele and he makes my experience one of a kind. They both truly care about their customers, and make the best sandwich I have ever tried in my entire life. If you are visiting Florence and are looking for a great spot for a meal, go to Mangiapepe for both the taste and the experience. This is my favorite place to eat in all of Italy, I recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and an unforgettable experience.
