Florence: Food Walking Tour with Local Steak and Tuscan Wine

Experience the flavors of Florence on an unforgettable evening food tour through the city's tastiest spots. Start your journey at the iconic Piazza della Signoria, where you'll marvel at Renaissance sculptures, stunning artworks, and open-air galleries that set the scene for your Tuscan adventure.

First up, we dive straight into Italian tradition – ever heard of aperitivo? Begin with a visit to an old wine window, the kind Renaissance legends like Michelangelo once frequented for liquid inspiration and a quick bite.

Next, we’ll wander to a cozy vinaino on Via dei Neri, a bustling street filled with panini shops, cheese counters, and tempting cured meats. Depending on the season, savor hearty pappa al pomodoro or ribollita, sample local paté, and indulge in flavorful cold cuts. And naturally, there’s a glass of Tuscan wine to complete the moment!

Our journey continues to the iconic Ponte Vecchio, the vibrant bridge over the Arno River. Once home to fishmongers and butchers, today it dazzles with artisan jewelers. After soaking up the history, we’ll head into the lively Oltrarno district – where Florence comes to life at night. Here, you’ll savor handmade ravioli, crafted with simple, top-quality ingredients that deliver bold, unforgettable flavors. Another glass of local wine? Of course!

Now for the grand finale! At our fourth stop, we’ll settle into a traditional trattoria to indulge in Tuscany’s most famous dish: Bistecca alla Fiorentina. This legendary steak, celebrated for its unique cut and incredible taste, is served alongside golden roasted potatoes and paired with even more wine – truly a meal to remember.

Lastly, wrap up your evening with a visit to one of Florence's finest gelateria's where you can end your food venture on a sweet note sampling a scoop (or two!) of true artisan gelato! As the tour wraps up, our guide will be happy to share insider tips on the best local eateries to explore during the rest of your time in Florence.
