La Cucina di Pesce Pane Florence

Fish restaurant

""La Cucina di Pesce Pane" in central Florence is a fish restaurant with the perfect price/performance mix and good quality! I like the atmosphere & service"

I love having a good fried squid platter and a fresh glass of white wine, so when a restaurant specialized in fish opens up I just can't resist going to try it out. This one has the perfect price/performance mix, good prices and good quality, right in the center of Florence.

I went for a lunch because it has been so busy at dinner that it is hard to find a free table. They have a nice menu, not many plates, but well selected and very tasty, I tasted the squid and a salad and it was all very good. They started from a food truck on the riverside that had a great success so they decided to open up an adorable restaurant.

It is all blue and white, and I liked the atmosphere and the service, everyone was nice and if you put a glass of white wine in my hand it is friendship at first sight!

Lila Toys

A toy store without gender stereotypes

Their idea of what a toy shop should be is: gender-neutral (it sounds like a revolution to me!), kids free to touch everything, and to choose on their own.
