I have been in Florence since 2006, and am completely in love with this city and its people. I can't imagine a more beautiful and extraordinary city. Florence has it all: food, people, culture, weather and art.

Restaurants

Buca Lapi - Superior Quality
Perfect for a special, quiet meal. Very high quality food, and excellent service. The beef is tender and full of flavor. Vegetables are served artfully, and desserts are extraordinary. [Read more]

Coquinarius - Always Great!
I always have a difficult time deciding what to choose: everything is great. Pear-filled pasta is superb, as well as the incredible selection of salads. The location is so easy to find, and you can stroll through Paperback Book (across the street) if you're waiting for a table. [Read more]

Gusta Pizza - If you like great brick oven pizza...
Great pizza, without the fuss. They know how to make good pizza, and stick with the basics. Self-serve beer and wine and informal seating makes this a pleasurable experience. [Read more]

Yellow Bar - Something for everyone!
Yellow Bar has something for everyone: Pizza, pasta, salad. Their hamburger (sorry, no bun) is the best quality ground beef I have ever had. Great service, always the same staff with a big smile. [Read more]

Gelaterie

Gelateria dei Neri - Delightful!
A great array of flavors. Checkout the assortment of non gelato scoop-able desserts in the first case on the right as well. My favorite! The nostalgic antiques are interesting to look at while you're enjoying dessert. [Read more]

Pastry Shops

Mama's Bakery - There's nothing like a warm fresh bagel!
Outstanding bagels! My favorite is vegetable cream cheese on an everything bagel. Or, try a panini on a bagel or a freshly-baked [sub] roll. Desserts take advantage of seasonal fruits, and finish with American-style coffee. If all the seats are taken, be patient: it's worth the wait! [Read more]
