šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹ After 1.5 Years in Florence: My No-Regret Food Guide šŸ“”

(Listed in no particular order ā€” all recommendations are based on personal taste! šŸ«–) šŸ§‚ Brunch: 怐Lunetta CafƩ怑 Must-try: SHAKSHUKA with crispy bread PANCAKE with banana, peanut butter, and cream Porridge with cinnamon and apple This cozy spot often has a line, but the owner is super friendly. Their food has a rare "wok hei" vibe thatā€™s uncommon in Western brunch! Highly recommend if youā€™re heading to Pitti Palace or Boboli Gardens ā€” perfect fuel before exploring! šŸ§‚ Italian: 怐Trattoria ZĆ ZƠ怑 Recommending: Lobster pasta Tomato-topped fillet steak Iā€™ve been twice! While some criticize it, Iā€™ve always had a good experience. The pasta is perfectly cooked, the lobster is fresh and springy, and the medium fillet is tender with no gaminess. Pair it with roasted cherry tomatoes for extra juiciness! šŸ§‚ American Fried Chicken: 怐StarChicken怑 Go for: Chicken thighs (juiciest!), other cuts are great too Sauces: Gravy and signature honey mustard Iā€™ve been here over 5 times ā€” arguably the best fried chicken in Florence! Crispy outside, tender and juicy inside ā€” no exaggeration. Note: āš ļø Itā€™s made fresh, so expect a 20-minute wait. šŸ§‚ Gelato: 怐Gelateria Della Passera怑 Favorites: Yogurt (No.1!) Pomegranate Monnalisa Rumored to be Florenceā€™s best gelato ā€” I went two days in a row! Award-winning and deservedly so šŸ„¹ The staff are energetic and lovely too. šŸ§‚ Sichuan Chinese: 怐Yi Restaurant怑 Highlights: Spicy pig trotters Boiled beef in fiery sauce As a Chengdu native, tasting this felt like home! The chef is also from Chengdu ā€” the use of Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies is authentic. Itā€™s not just spicy ā€” itā€™s fragrant! The beef had a bit too much starch, but still delicious overall. šŸ§‚ Italian: 怐Leonardo怑 A hidden local canteen on the 2nd floor in the city center ā€” great value! Recommending: Tiramisu (not too sweet, incredibly smooth ā€” the standout!) Tuna and onion pasta (restaurant-level taste) Pork chop (huge portion, crispy and tender) I saw workers and students eating here ā€” 5 dishes for just ā‚¬25! Skip the chicken liver toast ā€” way too salty. šŸ§‚ Sichuan Chinese: 怐Ba Shifu怑 Must-order: Soul-stealing chicken claws Fish-fragrant eggplant Spicy trotters Daqian aromatic ribs Soy chicken (forgot the name) Chicken with intestine stew Heavy on the peppers and bold flavors ā€” every dish goes perfectly with rice. Iā€™ve been here countless times šŸ„¹ šŸ§‚ Gelato: 怐Gelateria La Carraia怑 Top flavors: Pistachio, pear, coconut All flavors are incredibly rich! Multiple locations ā€” easy to find. #Florence #FlorenceTravel #FlorenceFood #Firenze #Italy
