In Italy, food is to be savoured, and tasting is a pastime in itself. Follow your guide for the day to favoured local haunts, beginning with the Caffe Gilli which dates back to 1733. Here, we will fuel ourselves for the day with espresso and a bomboloni alla crema.
More baked goods follow at the old forno della Spada, with fresh pan di ramerino typically enjoyed for Easter, and Procacci’s famous truffle sandwich accompanied by wine tasting.
Next on the itinerary is a tour of the Mercato Centrale, alive with aromas, colours, flavours, and everything you could ever wish for to sample.
And finally, a stop at Il Cantuccio to pick up almond cookies as souvenirs is followed by gelato from La Carraia overlooking the famed Ponte Vecchio.
Throughout the day, you will also stop to explore lesser-known gems of the city, such as the architecturally magnificent palazzo of Bernardo Buontalenti, whom legend has it invented gelato! You may also personalise your itinerary to take in other local delicacies such as lampredotto, trippa and negroni.
