On our Italy Travel Facebook page, Melissa posted a few restaurants she liked during her recent stay in Florence. She and her family stayed in a vacation rental apartment (through VRBO) in San Frediano neighborhood, across the Arno from the historic center and she says she highly recommends staying in a vacation rental, especially if you're traveling with children. Melissa's recommendations:
Alla Vecchia Bettola, the fried zucchini flowers were a miracle but the place, in keeping with the spirit of historic foods, doesn't take credit cards.
Trattoria del Carmine was a favorite for the affable service, traditional food, and the fact that my kids could melt down and they were very kind.
Enoteca La Barrique on Via Leone was fantastic - brand new, modern food vision of a non-Italian chef, has a small, intimate garden in the back, love it. The food was superlative.
Trattoria Sabatino is a hoot, a real neighborhood place. Hard to get in (in July) but a delightful place to dine.
One restaurant outside of Florence we return to year after year is Da Ventura in Sansepulcro, a lovely family has been running this restaurant for 3 generations. They have wonderful fresh pasta and the antipasto cart is not to be believed.
Gelato: Gelateria Artigianale Sorbettiera is an extraordinary artisanal gelato maker on Piazza Tasso. My husband still loves Perche No! near Piazza Signoria off Via Calzaioli.
Michelangelo is one of Italy's most famous Renaissance artists and many of his great works, including his statue of David, can be seen in the city of Florence. A replica of Michelangelo's David sits outside Palazzo Vecchio, Florence's city hall, but the original can be seen in a Florence museum. Michelangelo fans may also be interested in visiting the house that once belonged to him. Here's Where to See Michelangelo's Art in Florence.
