Florence Oltrarno Neighborhood Food & Wine Dine Around
Overview
It’s not hard to find good food in Florence, but if you really want to eat as the Florentines do, you need to come along with a local expert foodie to visit beloved wine bars, restaurants, and more. Pop in and out of beloved local establishments in two authentic Florence neighborhoods, Oltrarno and Santo Spirito. Enjoy regional wines and a traditional aperitivo with cheese, cold cuts, and bruschette.
After, you’ll head to a beloved local spot to learn how to make a Negroni—Florence’s most iconic cocktail. You’ll mix it up like a pro, then enjoy your handcrafted drink alongside an aperitivo of freshly baked schiacciata.
Visit an ancient wine window for another glass and learn the fascinating history behind them. Sit down at a trattoria for Tuscan pasta and Florentine steak, and then top it all off with artisan Italian gelato, of course! At the end of the evening before parting ways with your guide, they'll share their local tips on where to dine during the rest of your trip.
