“To the Table!” – Where Florentines Eat When Tourists Aren’t Looking
Tour Description:“Qui si mangia come una volta” (“Here, we eat like we used to”), says the butcher at Sant’Ambrogio Market, handing you a slice of finocchiona salami cured with fennel pollen. This is Florence’s real food scene – no menus in English, no staged “experiences,” just generations-old rituals that turn market mornings into edible theater.
Your Morning Unfolds Like This:
Meet your guide at a café where builders and nonnas elbow up to the counter for caffè macchiato and sugar-dusted bomboloni. You’ll join them.
Dive into one of the most vibrant local markets, where fishmongers shout prices in dialect and cheesemongers insist you taste their 24-month pecorino. Pro tip: Skip breakfast.
At a vinaino hole-in-the-wall, learn why Florentines invented the panino con lampredotto (tripe sandwich) and – yes – we can try it if you'd like. Brave souls get a Chianti chaser.
Why This Tour Is Different:
No clichés – Skip the overhyped spots; this is where locals shop, eat, and gather.
Lots of tastings = a full meal (you’ll need a nap afterward).
Morning-only – Markets buzz, breads are warm, and butchers are still chatty.
Dietary needs? We’ll adapt – just tell us when booking.
