Florence is a city that celebrates food at every turn, and what better way to experience it than through a guided food tour? A Florence Food Tour takes you off the beaten path, exploring the city’s best food spots, from traditional trattorias to bustling local markets. Led by a knowledgeable guide, you’ll visit local shops, eateries, and hidden gems that showcase the best of Tuscan cuisine.

On your tour, you’ll sample a wide variety of Tuscan dishes, starting with crostini and cicchetti (small snacks) paired with a glass of local wine, before moving on to iconic pastas like pici and tortelli maremmani. You’ll also have the opportunity to taste traditional soups like ribollita and pappa al pomodoro, as well as cold cuts and fresh cheeses that are staples of Florentine dining.

Possible tastings:

- Cured Meats & Local Cheeses from Tuscany: to experience the heart of Florence’s traditional aperitivo with an array of local cured meats and cheeses, served alongside toasted bread and a glass of Chianti wine. Enjoy this delicious spread in one of the city’s oldest and most renowned wine shops, where the flavors of Tuscany come to life.

- Potatoes tortelli: dscover a recipe from the Mugello hills, near Florence. These hand-made potato tortelli are rectangular dumplings filled with a savory mix of potatoes, parmesan cheese, walnuts, and a touch of salt. Served in a top-ranking trattoria, these comforting dumplings offer a true taste of the Tuscan countryside.

- Pici: no trip to Tuscany is complete without tasting pici, the region’s traditional, hand-rolled spaghetti. You’ll enjoy this thick, chewy pasta topped with a rich sauce of black cabbage and bacon—or choose from a variety of other delicious options to suit your taste.
