This café has been here since 1872 when it was a chocolate factory! Sit back, look at Palazzo Vecchio and sip on a hot chocolate with whipped cream! Florence’s Historic Cafes: http://bit.ly/1iv6gt1
Enjoy a quiet morning at piazza della Repibblica with coffee & pastries from Gilli. Sit outside for the full experience and watch the vendors sell everything from cured meats to fresh dip
After a long day, walking around i the wonderful city of Firenze, it is really nice to stop for a glass of champagne and some aperitive at Gilli :)
A very special restaurant in the heart of Florence; very so f** cute atmosphere, and food. Don't miss it if you were in florence!!!
Beautiful restaurant, delicious food and wines, not expensive, if you come to Firenze, you must have lunch or dinner here!
Congrats on finding Florence's creepiest street! Limbo is where Dante believed unbaptized souls went; there was a cemetary here for children who died before baptism. Maybe it's slightly haunted?
This is the main place in town to catch a movie in English. They usually run for just a few days so keep an eye on their schedule which is available online: www.odeon.intoscana.it En savoir plus .
My favorite place in Florence for a spritz, especially if Fabiano is behind the bar! Also a great wine selection
In the 18th century, the palazzo was used as a power base by Napoleon. It was donated to Italian people by King Victor Emmanuel III in 1919, and its doors were opened as one of largest art galleries.
It is right, Great place! Huge meat plates, service is very friendly. Drinks are free and my Grappas have been offered. A must when you like big dishes!

It is so called to distinguish it from the old market located in the area of Piazza della Repubblica. It was intended for the sale of silk and luxury goods and then for the famous straw hats.
seafood place? You found the place! The one that says pasta with seafood sauce is the dish to get! I went there more than once on my vacation. Its not what you do on vacation.. Thats saying something
Very nice and tasty. The fish and spaghetti with seafood were fantastic :) a bit more expensive than other places in Florence but totally worth it.
Good pizza cooked in natural wood fire. Several fish specialties. Big and nice dehor directly on Arno river. Recommended for families.
Tripe is the daily special on Thursdays and on Fridays it's baccala' (cod fish). Their juicy bistecca alla fiorentina is justly famous but must be ordered one day in advance. International wine list.
Try the rare 1kg T-bone steak! The Gran Fritto dell'aia made of fried chicken, rabbit and veges. They don't eat meat on Fridays but substitute it with fish.
Tagliatelle with lobster is great as a main course. As a starter, tried octopus dish - too salty. Scampi is a gd starter. Don't waste your dessert allowance here :) go for biscotti or gelato elsewhere
Try to book a room with river view. Wonderful in the morning!! Hotel is very close to Duomo, Signoria and Republica squares as well
Adding to a visit to the city center try a cycling tour of the countryside. Checkout at S-Cape Travel just round the corner!
