LUNCH:
Mercado Centrale - On the top floor there is a giant food hall and tables to sit at (think Chelsea Market).


All'Antico Vinaio - Famous paninis that are very much worth the hype. The line will be insane but moves fast.

Pino’s Sandwiches - If you don’t want to wait in All’Antico’s line, head to Pino’s for an incredible panini that is just as good!


APERITIVO:
Il Santino - Wine bar next to Il Santo Bevitore. A great stop for aperitivo!


Babae - Famous wine window in Florence.


Osteria Belle Donne - Another wine window.


DINNER:
Trattoria Za Za - A great staple and good for large groups.


Il Santo Bevitore - One of our favorite restaurants!


Trattoria Sabatino - Very authentic, no reservations so get ready to stand in line (but it's worth it)! Everything averages €4.50.


Neromo - Pizza


La Ménagére - Beautiful restaurant, worth checking out.
