Zio Gigi

@postcardsfromrachael

If you want to visit an authentic family-run Italian resurgent then I would highly recommend Zio Gigi. This had the most amazing spaghetti bolognese I had on my 2-month Italy trip and the staff were so friendly and welcoming, The chef even came out and helped clear away plates and sang opera in Italian. This was just something so simple and authentic but it was one of my highlights of the trip.

La Carraia in Santa Croce

@theywillbewandering

If there’s one place you must go to in all of Florence, it’s La Carraia. Just promise you’ll try the "Delizia La Carraia" flavor (but tbh, they're all amazing) and tell our friend and owner Roberto that we said hi! 👋 There is also another location on the opposite side of the Arno River.

Pizza Napoli 1955

@andrewandbrenna

Pizza Napoli is best for a quick, easy, and affordable pizza. This spot offers table service, but you can also order your pizza to-go. Aside from Gustapizza (where wait times can exceed two hours), this pizza is the best in town. Our favorite thing to do is order to-go and take a two minute walk to Piazza della Signoria to indulge.
