Great location, great food, great staff, friendly and helpful. Beautiful and characteristic place that does both pizza and traditional Florentine cuisine.
I loved my food tour experience in Florence with Dilara! The meeting point was very convenient and it was very easy for me to find the group. We walked together and got to know a bit about the history of the city, and we stopped at some wonderful locations for some amazing bites! We got to learn a lot about food in Florence, visit some great local eateries that I would have never thought to visit by myself, and try some local foods that were just amazing. We visited the central market and got to see a variety of shops, and try some samples. It was a perfect orientation to the local food scene. Dilara was a great guide, very energetic and positive with lots of recommendations for finding the best spots to eat, shop and see even after the tour was over. Allergies, food sensitivities and aversions were noted and taken into consideration for all of the guests, which was really nice. I had a splendid time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the tour to anyone looking to discover the sights and eats of Florence!
