Italian Food Tour at Central Market in Florence, Italy
Join us for an Italian Food Tour at Central Market in Florence, Italy as we sample numerous savory and sweet dishes on the second level of the market. Prior to arriving at the Central Market (Mercato Centrale) we had this idea that it would be upscale and touristy with prices to match but were pleasantly surprised by how affordable it was to grab tasty bites on a budget. We ended up spending just over 23 Euros total for the two of us to sample a lot of different food at Florence Central Market (Mercato di San Lorenzo). Here is the list of food items we had at the market:
1) Parmigiano Reggiano (parmesan cheese cubes)
2) Burrata sandwich with prosciutto
3) Trapizzino (pizza dough with a stuffed filling)
4) Arancini (crispy rice balls with a savory filling)
5) Cannoli dessert with gelato inside
6) Malaga gelato (rum and raisin flavored ice cream)

Italian Food Tour at Central Market in Florence, Italy Video Transcript:
It is lunchtime in Florence and we are back at Central Market (Mercato Centrale / Mercato di San Lorenzo). We were here yesterday to buy some produce and a few groceries to cook an Italian meal at home. And then we noticed that on the second floor they have a whole bunch of restaurants and deli shops so we figured let's come back and actually have lunch here.
That is the plan for today. We've just arrived but we're going to have a little wander through to see what is available and then we'll start buying little bites. We've got to scout it out really well before we pick.
We've got our first two items. That kind of startled you there. Yeah, I was admiring my cheese. We got a little cone of parmigiano. Parmesan. Parmigiano Reggiano. This was 3.50 in Euros. The best part is it comes in these massive cubes and you've got this little fork to pierce them with so look at the size of this.
All of the cheeses, the meats, the pastas, the pizzas. Wow. The gelatos. It is like this is really good. Italy is making me chubby.
And you know what is next. This little thing. This little thing. I believe this was called Burrata. And it looks like it this looks like focaccia bread or something. It has kind of been made into a sandwich. It is a sandwich. It has prosciutto. I'll kind of lift it up here so you can see. It appears I could be wrong but it appears to have a some salad. Some salad. Ensalada. I think there is some creamy cheese as well. It was 6 Euros.
We found our next dish. This is called Trapizzino. And it looks amazing. Basically this is pizza dough in the form of a triangle and then it has been stuffed with filling. You can choose what filling you want. They have a whole bunch to choose from but we went with the eggplant and the tomato sauce a little bit of pesto and then parmesan cheese on top coming in at 4 Euros.
Moving on to snack number four. So this is something we've seen a few times and we've wanted to try it. And we've never had it. It is basically a giant crispy rice ball (arancini). Inside there is different flavors. We got the one with prosciutto for 3 Euros.
Alright we're moving on to dessert. What do you got in your hands?
We got two desserts. We did. But let's start with this one. So this is the Cannoli at 3 Euros. And instead of being stuffed with a cream of ricotta it is actually gelato made with ricotta cheese and we got rum and raisin gelato called Malaga at 3.50 Euros.
That brings our total to 23 Euros for two people. Basically 11.50 per person. We got to eat a lot of like amazing delicious food. I mean this far exceeded my expectations.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

LEGENDARY PASTA & SANDWICHES! Food Tour of Florence Italy
My food adventure in Florence Italy continues as I spend the entire day just eating nonstop which is my type of fun :-) I really wanted to try out some iconic Florentine dishes and just as much pasta as I can get my hands on.
For my first stop I went to the central market which is a great place to just hang out and eat, walk around then eat some more and hit the repeat button all day. Then I went looking for a local restaurant that is PACKED all the time and finally went pasta hunting. All in all, a pretty fun day!

EPIC! FOOD TOUR FLORENCE Italy
are you hungry? well you come to the right place, or maybe not, but stick around. We couldn't leave Florence without finishing off with a bang! after living here for a. month these are the top tourist foods to try while your here on your travels. Obviously these foods listed are the tourist hot spots and not local, but do it for the gram. we tried famous All Antico Vinaio then stop by Vetreria steak house for some gigantic Florentine Bisteca, next to the Florence Central market for some Lampredotta beef stomach sandwich, some pasta, Autumn snacks of roasted chestnuts and topped off with some genuin Gelato icecream. #florencefoodtour #italianfood #italyfood #travelvlogger
Places we visited
ALL ANTICO VINAIO
started in 1991 selling the famous panini, now has become highest rated restaurant on trip adviser so the lines go for miles. there is 3 stores so make sure you get there around 11-12.30 to skip the lines.
VETRERIA BOUTIQUE RESTAURANT
personally recommend this restaurant for a big juicey oz of Chianina florentine bisteca. they also serve other dishes if your interested trying some amazing foods. Lunch time is a great time to go as its quiter and no reservations required to get a spot.
ROASTED CHESTNUTS
if your lucky and get there for the Autumn winter seasons then you will come across these chestnuts stands on the street, cheap street food eats and great pick me up snack.
FIERENZA CENTRAL MARKET
try the Lampredotta sandwich on the lower ground market floor, very local and tradition way to eat the sandwich, cheap eats so great on a budget. though it may not be fancy or high quality ingredients, its got a hype for a reason, so give it a go!
LA STREGA NICCIOLA BARDI
very quite street in Bardi where you can get a authentic Homemade gelato icecream, highly recommend going for the more natural flavours like, berries, cream and nuts, that way you can taste the fresh ingredients and more traditional to how it should be.
If you want more food tours then give this video a big thumbs up!

Restaurants Featured:
1) Fedora
Via Guelfa 116B, 50129, Florence, Italy
+39 055 033 2725
Start your day right with incredibly yummy croissants and coffees. I totally recommend heading to Fedora for a light breakfast to start off your day.
The door is always locked but it doesn't mean they are closed. You ring the bell and they will unlock the door for you.
Everything I tried here was delicious and super cheap. 1 dollar for a croissant. You can't go wrong with that! And the cappuccino was made perfectly. I was very impressed with these students. They are well trained and very nice. If you are in town while school is in session this place is a must! They are open Monday to Friday 7:30 am to 3 pm
2) Trattoria dall'Oste
Via Luigi Alamanni, 3/5r, 50100 Firenze FI, Italy
When you are in Florence, the top food to try is Florentine steak. The steak is cut from the loin, just below the rib cage and above the rump.
The steak is grilled over a wood or charcoal fire. It is then finished off with some salt and pepper.
This steak can easily be shared between 2 to 3 people. The steak came out to be about 120 US dollars since it is measured by KG.
3) Mercato Centrale
Piazza del Mercato Centrale – Via dell’Ariento, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy
I recommend going to the main market downstairs for a late breakfast or lunch and for upstairs I would go at night for a late dinner or a snack. Upstairs is open all day from 10 to 12 am.
4) Da Nerbone
Mercato Centrale, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy
They specialize in tripe and beef cooked in a slow cooked, simmering stew. They are famous for their Panino bollito which is their boiled beef sandwich. It's about 4 euros per sandwich and this place is cash only.
To order, you first stand in the line to pay, and then you take that receipt and stand in the counter line. Once at the front you show them your receipt and tell them how many sandwiches you want and how you want your sandwich prepared.
5) La Pasta Fresca
Mercato Centrale, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy
Amazing pasta and ravioli. I recommend the lampredotto ravioli!
6) GROM
Via del Campanile, 2, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy
One of the best legitimate gelato places in the city!
7) All'antico Vinaio
Via dei Neri, 74/R, 50100 Firenze FI, Italy
Very famous sandwich shop in Florence Italy!
8) La Strega Nocciola
Via De' Bardi 51R | Ponte Vecchio, 50125, Florence, Italy
Delicious handmade, old school style gelato. Likely the best gelato you can find near the Duomo.
9) Kitsch
Viale Antonio Gramsci, 1/5 R, 50121 Firenze FI, Italy
While in Italy you should try an aperitivo restaurant.
Think of aperitivo as a mix between tapas and happy hour. You’ll find them in every city in Italy and it’s become a part of the social fabric here. This is one of the best available!
10) La Prosciutteria
Via dei Neri, 54r, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy
One of the BEST cheap cheeseboards in the city as well as great, cheap wines by the glass!

Firenze or Florence, is more than a city – it’s a feeling. Walking through the stunning streets of Firenze is like stepping back into an era when the great Italian artists ruled the city. You’re surrounded by Renaissance architecture, the romantic Arno River, and a palpable, omnipresent energy that emanates from the city. There are so many amazing things to do in Florence, it would take a lifetime to see it all!
This wasn’t our first time seeing the city of Florence. And no, that’s not a humble brag. It’s to say that this is a city to return to over and over again and still never see it all. You have to revel in the Renaissance history, bow down to Boticelli’s Venus, enjoy the flavors of the famed Florentine steak, and delight in the beauty of the Duomo.
Florence is one of the most amazing cities in Italy and also the world! The food, art, and history make it one of the best places to visit in Italy. During this video of Florence we show you some of our favorite places for Pizza, Pasta, Gelato, & Lasagna. When in Florence, the diet goes out the window. Be ready for red wine, Florentine steak, and truffle pasta. Some of our favorite restaurants are:
La Grotta Guelfa
All'antico Vinaio
Antico Porto
and Perche No
just to name a few. For more info. Check out our blog post!

How to Get into the City:
- From Pisa Airport (Gallilei Gallileo Intl Airport): Take the Pisamover to Pisa Centrale Station, and buy a ticket to Florence (Santa Maria Novella Station)
- From Florence Airport (Peretola)
Cheapest option is the new Tram from T2 to Santa Maria Novella Station in Florence.
Or just hop in a cab)
How to Skip The Lines:
(VERY IMPORTANT TO AVOID SPENDING HOURS IN LINES!)
- The most user friendly website for reserving skip the line reserved ticket times (for the Uffizi Gallery and the Academia Gallery (Michelangelo's David) is:
(But you’ll pay more of a fee…but it is user friendly)
- The official ticketing website for the Uffizi Gallery and The David is B-ticket:
(Less user-friendly, but a cheaper ticket price…and it’s not that hard to figure it out)
- The official site for reserving a climb for the Duomo is here (this will also include entrance into all of the attractions of the Duomo):
- You can also call to book a time at the Uffizi and David by calling this number from a US phone:
011-39-055-294-883
- Or this number from an Italian phone:
055-294-883
You can also sometimes book through your hotel (if you’re staying at a hotel)
Or go with a small group tour like ArtVivia (more expensive, but highly recommended):

- la Rinascente (4th floor…up the green stairs)
- Rooftop bar of the Westin Excelsior
- Watch the Sunset on the St Trinity Bridge
Tuscany:
(I rented a car…I think it cost me around 50 Euros for the day)
- Day Trip/Wine Tour of Tuscany (There are many options for tours…I loved the small group half/day tour with Prestige rent…I found it on Trip Advisor (linked here):
- Siena (if you only visit one town in Tuscany…make it Siena. Also take the bus, not the train)
- San Gimignano (Can be seen on the same day as Siena as they’re close by)
- Pisa
- Lucca (aerial shot of Lucca is from videoblocks.com)
PLACES I DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO FEATURE:
Restaurants:
- Osteria Vini e Vecchi Sapori (VERY POPULAR spot. Reservations are a must)
- Bella Donne (fantastic meatballs…or “polpettine”)
- Hostaria Il Desco (great little hidden gem near the Ponte Vecchio in a winding alley)
Other things to see/do:
- Bargello Museum
- Strozzi Museum
- Museo dell'Opera del Duomo (The Duomo’s museum)

Florence: when it comes to Renaissance art, there’s probably no better city in the world to soak it all in!
Our time here was spent viewing works by Italian masters both in museums and public spaces, marvelling at the architecture - in particular Florence Cathedral and its massive dome, going in search of the best lookout points, and eating plenty of pizza & gelato sharing the best things to do in Florence on your visit.
We paid 15 Euros for a ticket that gave us access to 5 attractions associated with Florence Cathedral. Giotto’s Campanile, the bell tower stands 84.7 metres with 414 steps.
We made our way over to our next attraction: the Baptistry. Known as both the Florence Baptistry and the Baptistry of Saint John.
We continued to Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, which is a museum dedicated to conserving artworks relating to Florence Cathedral.
It was time to climb the dome of Florence Cathedral. We ate our gelato at Grom and it was delicious.
The Uffizi Gallery is considered one of the best museums in the world focusing on the Italian Renaissance. Most of the art collection you see today was gifted to the city of Florence by Anna Maria Luisa, the last Medici heiress.
From Uffizi Gallery you get some pretty cool views of Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River from a higher vantage point.
We visited in Florence was Piazza della Signoria, an L-shaped square right in the heart of the city. A landmark in this square is Palazzo Vecchio or the Town Hall. And to the right of this building, you have the Loggia dei Lanzi.
Speaking of David, we did find him, over at Galleria dell’Accademia. Michelangelo’s David depicts the Biblical David carved out of a single block of marble.
Ponte Vecchia during the 16th century that one of the Medici ordered for the butcher shops to be replaced with jewellers.
When it comes to sunset in Florence, there are no better views than from Piazzale Michelangelo overlooking the historic center on the other side of the Arno River.
This indoor market is foodie central with the second floor of the market is filled with eateries. Central Market is a great place to pick up ingredients to bring back to your kitchen.
We hope you enjoyed this Florence travel guide and that it gave you ideas of things to do.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.
