Amazing truffle menu, decently priced considering the truffle options.
Try the mozzarella in carrozza, artichoke omelet with truffle, the truffle risotto or tagliolini with truffle. Lots of classic tuscan options also for the non truffle lovers. They have a carbonara to die for. Also try their cheesecake ....just try it all, it is so so good!!
As the restaurant is tiny tiny tiny, make sure to book ahead of time

Great craft beer and cocktail bar. Easy scene, loved by locals.
Great selection of craft beer on draft (also have various italian craft beer options as well as non- alcoholic) and bottled. Not a beer lover, try one of their homemade cocktails. Have the manager Michel make something personalised upon request...

Great restaurant with typical Tuscan specialties. They also make a mean carbonara. Try their rice semifreddo as dessert. Not the cheapest of restaurants but reasonable and in line with other prices for good food in Florence.
The owner is quite the bejewelled character and known for it.

When a little tired of all that Italian food and looking for an asian option, this is by far your best bet. They make homemade noodles and dumplings (also some with an Italian twist). Reasonably priced.

For the real deal Italian breakfast, this is the place to be. They produce their own pastries which are unreal. Try their famous 'pirulo' which is a small pastry with ricotta inside. But everything else is also good, really! Nice to sit outside under the loges of the square.

Great Tuscan specialties. Definitely try their artichoke omelette!
Small place, not good for the claustrophobic gents as it is in a basement..
If you stay long enough on a Saturday night when packed with locals you might witness the owner turning up the volume with Italian classic sing alongs from the 70ies...

Elegantly and well renovated old building. Great for cocktails and evening out. Elegant (no flip flop place) and little expensive. The restaurant is a little too expensive for what they offe, the bar area is great! However if you are a large group they rent the basement private rooms all renovated beautifully in medieval style for dinners.

Amazing museum, forgotten by most travellers because of the other major museum but this is none less. A petit museum showcasing the amazing craft of inlay for which Tuscany was famous. Easy to do also with kinds as the museum is quite small and easy to walk thru.

Museums in major cities (Pisa, Florence, Siena)
Try to book your visits ahead of time as much as possible. tip: bring along your printed tickets just in case (it has happend that scanners/printers etc at the entrance don't work)
Đi cùng trẻ nhỏ
Eating out with kids
As waiting time can be long and most restaurants do not provide any kind of kid entertainment, either ask the waiter to bring all the food at once (usually pasta is eaten before a second course which makes everything take even longer) or organize bringing your own entertainment
Phong tục và văn hóa
Ordering coffee/food at a typical bar
When at a typical coffeshop or bar this is what you do:
1. without disturbing others or standing in line, try to figure out what you would like to eat /drink
2. tell the person at the cashregister what you want and pay for it. She will give you a receipt.
3. With the receipt go to the various stations (coffee or food station) to ask for what you want
4. collect what you ordered and sit down or eat directly at the bar as all the Italians
