2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

When dining out the first thing to remember is that Italy didn’t even become a country until the unification of its 20 regions in 1861. For this reason, Italians, and especially Florentine’s are still, even today, very much connected to and proud of their regional culture and of course cuisine.

Our authentic Florentine dining experience will take you back in time to the origins of some of Florence’s most renowned dishes. To the tables of the nobleman and peasants alike. To the courts and banquets hosted by the Medici.

Your hosts, Monica and Simone, will guide you on a culinary journey explaining each dish including both its historical origin but sometimes more importantly its cultural significance.

Your four course meal will be accompanied by a selection of traditional, locally produced wines and exceptional extra virgin olive oil.

Our Florentine Food Experience is a deep dive into local history and culture through our traditions at the table.

What to expect

Our team consists of a restauranteur and a travel specialist, in collaboration with local wine, olive oil and food producers. Together we are bringing our passion for Florence and Tuscany to the table. We are reviving Florentine culinary traditions and most importantly we are supporting our local producers whose ingredients become the real protagonists on the table.

Embracing the concept of farm to table and sourcing local products not only gives you an authetic experience and the opportunity to taste unique, non-commerical products, but it helps support our local economy, and reduces our impact on the environment. Tuscans produce food with passion, respect and gratitude for the land and what it provides.

Let us introduce you to our wonderful wines and traditional Tuscan products.
