La Leggenda dei Frati Florence
One star Michelin
So you want a Michelin star experience in Florence? Well, you have a nice choice because there are a good amount of them in the city. Let's talk about the youngest restaurant that got its star in 2016.Filippo Saporito, the chef, has brought this restaurant in a very short time to have a star and put all his creativity and love for his cuisine to create a new reality.
If you want to have a cool experience you can choose from two different tasting menus, one for 80€ or one for 110€ for whoever really wants to see how much they can pack in, without wine of course. If you have a special occasion coming up, make sure to let the staff know: they will love to help organize even a private dinner for you or a special menu. For the summer there is a terrace, but it is really cozy in the winter!
The tasting menu is amazing: I enjoyed every dish, and the handmade bread is amazing, they put passion and effort into every detail. After dessert, Filippo will personally bring you for a small tour around the villa, so don't go for dinner too late. I also got to bring a box of sweets home with me. Nothing is better then spoiling a woman with sugar and a sweet smile. I felt at home. No proposal, but it would be a perfect place!

Il Vecchio E Il Mare
Best Pizza In Florence?
Their pizzas are nothing short of incredible, thanks to a carefully crafted dough left to rise for 36 hours. But remember to save room for dessert!

Cantina Pacini
Wine & oil from the neighbourhood
"Cantina Pacini": a wine and oil shop (est. 1935) in Florence I like to visit. If you're lucky, you'll be visiting when they have fresh oil from the mill.

Italian ramen bar
Everybody knows "Banki Ramen" in Florence. This Japanese/Italian restaurant seems really cheap, as if stuck in the '80s, but the food wins everyone over!
