6Florence: Tuscany’s Culinary Elegance
In the heart of Tuscany, Florence stands as a beacon of culinary elegance. The city’s cuisine is characterized by simplicity, emphasizing the use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Florentine steak, bistecca alla fiorentina, is a prime example of this approach—grilled to perfection and seasoned with just salt and olive oil. Trattorias like Osteria All’Antico Vinaio offer a taste of traditional Tuscan fare, featuring dishes like ribollita (bean and bread soup) and pappa al pomodoro (tomato and bread soup).
