Italy Travel-Florence-Real Tuscan Food in Florence

Let's be honest. With a million-plus tourists flooding Florence, do you think you are really getting authentic Tuscan food in every restaurant?

Of course you must visit Florence to visit the Uffizi, the Duomo, the Arno, the Baptistry, etc., for jewelry and leather -

BUT for the real secrets of where the locals eat in Florence, follow us (at times it might be a short cab ride, but well worth being served what the Florentines themselves are eating).

Jump aboard, first stop, Oltrarno, Hosteria del Bricco.

Handwritten menu, crostini alla toscano a must, the wine list is a personal escort to the cantina, family run, and very reasonable.
