Florence is my favorite Italian city to visit. It’s extremely walkable, boasts striking Renaissance art and architecture, and has the best pizza, pasta, and gelato I’ve had in the country.
I recommend visiting Gustarium Firenze for their pizza al taglio, or pizza by the cut. There, you can sample multiple types of pizza with puffy, olive-oil-infused crust, fresh-tasting ingredients, and unique flavor combinations, all for what I consider to be a reasonable price.
To scratch your pasta craving, I suggest stopping by La Giostra or Osteria Pastella. The former offers a romantic, cozy ambiance with brick arches from the 16th century, touting incredible tiramisu and ravioli with pecorino and pear. The latter is famous for its cheese wheel and truffle pasta.
The best way to end your food tour is with a stop at Sbrino, a gelateria that uses natural ingredients. It’s the best gelato I’ve had anywhere in the world.
