Sharing some great eating spots, although, most have been fantastic so far on our three-week stay in Florence…
Tuscan dinner - Trattoria Armando - food, wine and service is excellent; you can find cheaper, but here’s a true case of getting what you pay for, and it’s not that much more in price. We are here in off season plus post-covid, so we didn’t have reservations, but I’d recommend making them. http://www.trattoria-armando.com/
For the delicious Italian dessert of Panne Cotta, try Trattoria Nella. I had caramel topping and my husband had chocolate. Both were tasty and creamy. The restaurant lunches at other tables looked fantastic and we hope to return yet for a meal. Address: Via delle Terme, 19r, 50123 Firenze
Another sweet treat we really enjoyed was the thick-as-mud hot chocolate at Rivoire. This one plucked from a dated RS pocket guide and a must. We enjoyed our cup standing at the counter, Italian-style! https://rivoire.it/en/
For brunch, breakfast, or lunch that’s unique with infused flavors, including Mexican and American, try Melaleuca Bakery. Along with thee best cinnamon roll, we truly enjoyed the carnitas tacos (house made tacos!) and andouille eggs with yummy red sauce in a sunny, very pleasant space tucked in along the Arno River, so it’s a beautiful walk to get there. They have many sweet treats and the wait staff is wonderful (they English well and I think that draws many English-speaking customers too). https://www.facebook.com/MelaleucaFirenze/
We have another week or so here, so will supplement this post as we find new stand-out spots to recommend. We’re loving Florence…oh, and the weather in November is great too. Ciao!
