There are no problems with dining in Florence: at every step, you will find charming affordable restaurants in the best Tuscan traditions or budget cafes. The price range is wide: you can have lunch at a cafe for 20-35 EUR, while the average check in signature restaurants usually starts from 100 EUR.
The best restaurants and cafes in Florence include:
- Pinchiorri — a luxury restaurant awarded three Michelin stars. The price of lunch starts from 150 EUR;
- Angels - famous for the largest steaks: not everyone can handle a piece of meat weighing 1 kg;
- La Trattoria dei Quatro Leoni - dinner in the company of a world-famous star in this institution is an ordinary thing;
- Cantinetta Antinori is the pearl of the restaurant business in Tuscany. And this is not surprising, because it is owned by the most influential wine-making family of this region - the Antinori clan;
- Il Latini is a place with a century of history, where it is not customary to serve a menu. Everything you need, the waiter will tell.
Inexpensive cafes and restaurants of Florence will please with exquisite pastries and luxurious interiors of the Medici era (pastry shop Gilli), a variety of ice cream (Gelateria Perchè No!), pizza cooked in an ancient oven (Il Pizzaiuolo) and democratic prices - from 20 EUR for lunch.
Among the iconic establishments of Florence is the café “Red Jackets” — a favorite spot of decadents and futurists of the 20th century (today it serves the most delicious hot chocolate and melt-in-your-mouth pastries), the pastry shop “Stefania,” which for over 20 years has attracted sweet lovers from around the world, and the trattoria Angiolino — a “gem” of traditional Tuscan cuisine.
