Lavish Eating in Florence


Ciao! It’s been about a month since we first landed in Florence, and it has been nothing short of amazing so far. From the moment we landed, I just knew that being in Italy was going to be an experience I’d remember for the rest of my life. In the first couple of days, I was able to make a ton of new friends, deepen my relationships with others, and explore the city of Florence to get a better understanding of Florentine and Italian daily life. 

 

One of the aspects of Italian Culture that I was most excited to immerse myself in was definitely the food, and it has not disappointed me in the slightest. Every restaurant I visit feels like the best food I’ve ever had, and the bar keeps getting progressively higher with every meal! Food in general is extremely affordable here as well, I’m typically able to get a personal pizza with the freshest tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil from as little as 5 euro and for no more than 9 euro. Back home I’d find myself paying upwards of $13 for pizza when the quality can’t even hold a candle to the amazing stuff that I’ve had in Florence. 

 

There are definitely a lot of cultural food-related tips that I’ve learned from some of the Italian locals I’ve had the opportunity to talk with, so I’ll share some of them below in case you find yourself in Italy!
