Discover Authentic Places and Local Flavors — Where to Eat and Drink in Florence

Florence is not only art and history — it is also a city of deep culinary tradition, where every street hides a trattoria, a panino shop, or a wine bar loved by generations of Florentines.
Staying in San Frediano, in the heart of the Oltrarno, means having some of the city’s best food experiences just steps away.

In this section, we share our curated food and drink guides, created to accompany your visit and help you eat well at every moment of the day.
Each recommendation is selected with three criteria:

Authenticity — places where locals actually go

Quality — well-prepared traditional recipes and local ingredients

Location — perfect stops that match the rhythm of your itinerary

You’ll find suggestions for:

  • Breakfast and artisanal coffee
  • Lunch spots, including street food classics like lampredotto
  • Aperitivo bars and enoteche
  • Traditional trattorie

Our guides are organized by time available — we hope these recommendations help you experience Florence not only through its sights, but also through its flavors.

Buon appetito and enjoy your stay.
