It wouldn’t be a trip to Italy without indulging in some authentic Italian cuisine. And Florence is no exception.
The city is the perfect place to sample classic Italian favorites like pizza, carbonara, and gelato, but there are also some regional specialties, such as panzanella or fettunta, that you’ll want to try.
