The Journey
Florentine Botteghe
Delight your senses with an authentic Florentine culinary experience, hopping between traditional 'botteghe' (shops) to savor the city's most iconic flavors. Indulge in a 'panino' or 'schiacciata,' the quintessential Florentine sandwich, alongside slices of Tuscan salami, decadent truffle treats, fresh mozzarella, and classic bruschetta. Complement these savory bites with olives and finish with creamy gelato from a local 'gelateria' – a true taste of Florentine gastronomy.
Mercato Centrale (Central Market)
Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Mercato Centrale, Florence's historic central market, where local vendors have traded fresh produce for centuries. Witness butchers expertly preparing cuts, fishmongers displaying the day's catch, and stalls offering traditional Florentine dishes like 'trippa Fiorentina'. Sample exquisite extra virgin olive oil, aged balsamic vinegars, sharp pecorino cheese, flavorful prosciutto, and rustic Tuscan bread (unsalted as per tradition) – a true celebration of Tuscan culinary heritage.
