Restaurants Featured:

1) Fedora
Via Guelfa 116B, 50129, Florence, Italy
+39 055 033 2725

Start your day right with incredibly yummy croissants and coffees. I totally recommend heading to Fedora for a light breakfast to start off your day.

The door is always locked but it doesn’t mean they are closed. You ring the bell and they will unlock the door for you.

Everything I tried here was delicious and super cheap. 1 dollar for a croissant. You can’t go wrong with that! And the cappuccino was made perfectly. I was very impressed with these students. They are well trained and very nice. If you are in town while school is in session this place is a must! They are open Monday to Friday 7:30 am to 3 pm

2) Trattoria dall’Oste
Via Luigi Alamanni, 3/5r, 50100 Firenze FI, Italy

When you are in Florence, the top food to try is Florentine steak. The steak is cut from the loin, just below the rib cage and above the rump.

The steak is grilled over a wood or charcoal fire. It is then finished off with some salt and pepper.

This steak can easily be shared between 2 to 3 people. The steak came out to be about 120 US dollars since it is measured by KG.

3) Mercato Centrale  
Piazza del Mercato Centrale – Via dell’Ariento, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy

I recommend going to the main market downstairs for a late breakfast or lunch and for upstairs I would go at night for a late dinner or a snack. Upstairs is open all day from 10 to 12 am.

4) Da Nerbone
Mercato Centrale, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy

They specialize in tripe and beef cooked in a slow cooked, simmering stew. They are famous for their Panino bollito which is their boiled beef sandwich. It’s about 4 euros per sandwich and this place is cash only.

To order, you first stand in the line to pay, and then you take that receipt and stand in the counter line. Once at the front you show them your receipt and tell them how many sandwiches you want and how you want your sandwich prepared.

5) La Pasta Fresca
Mercato Centrale, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy

Amazing pasta and ravioli. I recommend the lampredotto ravioli!

6) GROM
Via del Campanile, 2, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy

One of the best legitimate gelato places in the city!

7) All’antico Vinaio
Via dei Neri, 74/R, 50100 Firenze FI, Italy

Very famous sandwich shop in Florence Italy!

8) La Strega Nocciola
Via De’ Bardi 51R | Ponte Vecchio, 50125, Florence, Italy

Delicious handmade, old school style gelato. Likely the best gelato you can find near the Duomo.

9) Kitsch
Viale Antonio Gramsci, 1/5 R, 50121 Firenze FI, Italy

While in Italy you should try an aperitivo restaurant.

Think of aperitivo as a mix between tapas and happy hour. You’ll find them in every city in Italy and it’s become a part of the social fabric here. This is one of the best available!

10) La Prosciutteria
Via dei Neri, 54r, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy

One of the BEST cheap cheeseboards in the city as well as great, cheap wines by the glass!
