Aside from the ridiculously addicting shopping– the leather market, the flea market of cashmere scarves and leather gloves, and the endless amounts of boutiques– the food and wine in Florence is obviously out of this world. Some of the restaurants I still dream about... La Giostra for its Balsamic steak and scalloped potatoes, the "on-the-house" plate of antipasti, and the bolognese ricotta stuffed ravioli; Acqua al Dui because they have a taste testing menu of 5 different Tuscan pastas and salad dishes and their famous Blueberry steak; Tre Panches (literally means 3 benches as the entire restaurant consists of 3 tables) for its fried chicken and zucchini, fresh shaved truffle ravioli, and house cheesecake; and of course– the gelato anywhere and everywhere.
Lounging before walking into Palazzio Pitti, the Renaissance Palace
Just a touch of Florence's friendly vibes
Inside the Ufizi
The Duomo, where we climbed up 497 steps to reach the top and walk up to the rooftop balcony to oversee all of Florence and Tuscany
The dome, taken from the balcony on the way to the rooftop
And finally, the view of Florence and the Bell Tower from the top
The most epic of all– FESTIVAL GELATO.. only any flavor you could every imagine to exist.
