Florence Restaurants and Cafes
Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
Tuscan cuisine is very different than food in the rest of Italy and is well worth getting to know. As a starter, try a mixed plate of crostini - pieces of toasted bread covered with tomatoes, garlic and olive oil, or other spreads.
In addition to pasta, the first course in Tuscany is usually a thick soup with vegetable ingredients. "Ribollita," a thick soup with beans, vegetables and bread, is one of the local favorites. House wine is usually a Chianti grown in the Tuscany region.
