Tuscan Antipasti and Aperitivo

Your journey begins with a stroll through Florence’s historic streets, where your guide leads you to a classic buchetta del vino, the city’s famous wine windows that date back to the Renaissance.

A Taste of Tuscany’s Comfort Classics

Next, settle in at a cozy spot for a true Tuscan experience, where the focus is all about hearty, seasonal comfort food. In summer, you’ll savor the fresh flavors of pappa al pomodoro, a tomato and bread soup that’s bursting with Mediterranean warmth. In winter, enjoy the rustic richness of ribollita, Florence’s famous bread-and-vegetable stew. A spread of pecorino cheese, cured meats, and the bold flavors of chicken liver pâté crostini rounds out the tasting, all perfectly paired with a glass of locally sourced wine. It’s a feast of traditional flavors that feels like a warm Florentine welcome.

Cross the Ponte Vecchio to Florence’s Coolest Food District

As the sun sets, you’ll cross Ponte Vecchio, a bridge steeped in history, and head into the trendy Oltrarno neighborhood, where Florence’s vibrant food culture comes alive. Your next stop serves up fresh, handmade pasta like raviolo, crafted with a simplicity that lets the quality of the ingredients shine. It’s a quick tasting that’s packed with flavor, giving you just enough to leave you wanting more. Oltrarno’s lively streets, buzzing with local charm, set the perfect backdrop for this mid-tour treat.

Florentine Steak Dinner

The evening peaks with a sit-down dinner featuring one of Tuscany’s most celebrated dishes: Florentine steak. This massive, tender cut is cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and red in the center, just the way locals love it. Served alongside roasted potatoes and paired with a robust Tuscan red wine, this meal is a celebration of Florence’s deep-rooted culinary traditions. It’s a moment to slow down, savor the incredible flavors, and soak in the lively atmosphere of a classic Florentine eatery.
