3 Dishes You Have To Try in Florence
One of the best things about exploring a new city for the first time is trying the selection of local and traditional foods on offer. Brimming with incredible pasta dishes, cheeses and wines, Florence is definitely no exception to this rule. What’s more, Florence’s amazing collection of restaurants means you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining out. While it can be difficult to pick out those worth of a visit, don’t miss out on a meal at luxury restaurant Santa Elisabetta . With so many mouth-watering dishes to choose from it’s a must for foodies enjoying Florentine cuisine. Remember to look out for these 3 must-try foods to tick off your list!
Raviolo
It’s no surprise that pasta should top the list of tempting Florentine foods. First up on the menu is raviolo, round pasta which is commonly stuffed with a combination of ricotta cheese and any number of other delicious ingredients. There are tons of delectable variations to try throughout the city depending on where you’ve decided to dine. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a dish that’s meatier you could go for Parpardelle al Cinghiale. This traditional recipe features a rich ragu sauce made from boar.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina
One of Florence’s most famous dishes, the traditional Bistecca alla Fiorentina usually consists of a large, grilled t-bone steak. The meat is seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked over chestnuts to give it an aromatic, smokey flavour. The key to enjoying this dish is to find someone to share it with. The cuts are notoriously huge and often sold by the kilo so make sure you’ve got another keen meat-eater with you.
Lampredotto
It’s definitely not a dish for picky eaters, but Lampredotto is without a doubt one of the most well renowned Florentine dishes and has retained its popularity since medieval times. Usually served on a sandwich, the dish is made up of thin slices of tripe which have been boiled in tasty broth and seasoned. The tripe is then served up on a plate, on fresh bread or on bagnato (bread which has been soaked in gravy). If you’re not sure where to go for the best Lampredotto in town, try exploring some of street markets and food stalls around the city.
