Dozens of "ristoranti", "pizzerie" and typical "trattorie", located in the town centre and the surrounding hills, offer the pleasures of a gastronomy which is based on simple and healthy fare: tasty soups, roast and grilled meat (the famous "bistecca and grilled chicken"), boiled meat, cheese, an abundance of vegetables and fresh fruit, salamis and cold meats, and typical vegetable dishes. This cuisine is accompanied by Tuscan wines, deservedly famous, produced in the Chianti and surrounding areas: the red wine which is full-bodied and full-flavoured; the white wine which is lighter; sweet wines and the famous "vinsanto". Of course you will find several restaurants focussed on international specialties, but once you are in Florence, we strictly recommend to taste the florence,Italian:local culinary highlights. |
