I lived downtown Florence from 1984 to 2000. I love old school trattorias, but have included some newer places as well.

Dining in Florence

Florence is 100% a foodie city. Here are just a sampling of my favorite spots over the years! 

Italy

🇮🇹 Tasting Italy: Florence

I created this for a couple of friends coming and looking for Jewish History and places to eat. I added some don't miss sites for their short visit.
There is not a large Jewish part of Florence. Rome has a large center and Pitigliano in Southern Tuscany. 
There is a lot of history

The markets are the heart of the city. They also help you understand what is in season and what to look for on the menus.
There are several larger food markets and some other weekly markets in the neighborhoods as well as antiques and flea markets.
This is not a complete guide to dining in Florence, but rather where I would eat near the markets. A taste of some of the Florentine neighborhoods. 
-I also can create your own custom guide including what to see in town paired to where you eat.

Osteria Pepó

This has always been my go to trattoria when Mario's is so crowded. The owner Anna has a lovely menu. Look for the daily specials on the blackboard. 

Short menu with great Tuscan food! Check the specials for the best seasonal options to order.
