Essentials

Typical Tuscan food grocery. I suggest salame, finocchiona and salsa di fegatini (chicken liver sauce to put on toasted bread). Obviously it has to go with red wine!

Food Scene

The best of the Tuscan cuisine: Florentine steak (to eat almost raw), tasty Tuscan starters (e.g. selection of cheese with honey and marmelade), ravioli (filled pasta) and red wine.

Pizzeria on Vetrice Lake (Lago di vetrice). Nice place to fish or eat a very good pizza! (attention, street number is wrong, you can see from the map where the lake is). Enjoy your fish and pizza! ;-P
