Description

Step off the tourist trail and into the authentic heart of Florence with our Secret Food Tour: Florence – Sant’Ambrogio. This neighborhood, beloved by locals, is home to bustling markets, traditional cafés, and family-run trattorias that showcase the soul of Tuscan cuisine. Your adventure begins in one of the city’s most beautiful cafés, where you’ll discover how Florentines start their day. From there, we’ll guide you to the Sant’Ambrogio Market, a lively gathering place where residents shop for fresh seasonal produce, artisanal cheeses, and cured meats. It’s the perfect setting to immerse yourself in daily Florentine life. As we wander, you’ll sample a generous variety of Tuscan flavors: local cheeses and salamis, paired with regional breads; lampredotto, Florence’s legendary street food; and hearty Tuscan soups and pastas served in a family-owned trattoria. Along the way, your guide will share stories that bring the city’s history and culinary traditions to life. No food tour in Florence would be complete without dessert, so we’ll finish with a scoop of creamy, handcrafted gelato from an artisanal shop. And of course, as with all our tours, there’s a delicious Secret Dish, revealed only on the day. By the end of the experience, you’ll have tasted some of Florence’s most iconic dishes, explored the city like a local, and gained a deeper appreciation of Tuscany’s food culture and history.
