Savor the Flavors: A Street Food Tour of Florence’s Sant’Ambrogio Neighborhood

Seasonal fruit, vegetables, artisanal cured meats, cheese and much more: indulge in some of the most iconic street food and taste the genuine flavour of Florence. Meet our Food Ambassador and discover the vibrant Sant’Ambrogio neighborhood and its market, a place where locals go shopping everyday and where you’ll find the most tasty and genuine products. Start with a glass of white wine paired with a bruschetta and enjoy the view of one of the most iconic churches of the city: Santa Croce. Visit a local bakery and the Sant’Ambrogio Market, where great food tastings await you: schiacciata with cecina (a sort of chickpeas pie), local cold cuts and cheese, lampredotto (the iconic street food of Florence) and crostini and much more. Then try some fried specialties such as coccoli with stracchino (fresh cheese) and mozzarella in carrozza paired with a fresh glass of wine or a spritz. Great end for a great tour: a delicious gelato. This tour goes beyond pasta or pizza; it’s an authentic dive into the real Florentine street food that comes from the region and that you’ll seldom find elsewhere in Italy.
