🇮🇹 If It’s Your First Time in Florence…

Florence is just too delicious and fun to explore 😬 (Here are some tried-and-true spots!) ☕️➕🍦 Affogato | 6€ Vivoli Gelateria Via Isola delle Stinche, 7r, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy I’d been dreaming about this Affogato! My first time trying the combo of gelato and hot espresso — mind blown 🤯 ☕️ Tiramisu Coffee | 6.5€ Ditta Artigianale Via dei Neri, 30/32 R, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy The famous “liquid tiramisu” in a cup 🍮. Pro tip: order it to-go for better photos! 🍫➕🍦 Venchi Their caviar-style chocolates cost almost ¥30 per piece in China — but in Italy, it’s just 1€ each! Their gelato and dark chocolate are super rich too. Regret not buying more 😪 🥪 Panini at All'Antico Vinaio First try: INFERNO (roast pork with creamy sauce, chili, eggplant, arugula) — recommended on Xiaohongshu for Chinese tastes… but the pork was bland 😑… hard to finish. Second try: DANTE (ham, cheese, truffle cream, arugula) at the station — if you like Italian ham, this one’s a safe (and tasty!) bet 😬 🍝 Italian at Acquaal2 Firenze ~20€ per person. Stumbled upon this place right before it opened at 7 PM — already a long queue! Decided to give it a try 🤪 Their tiramisu was UNREAL — not too sweet, just perfect 🍰. Finally understood the hype! Their ham and pasta were great too 👍 🍲 Chinese at Ristorante Bashifu Authentic Sichuan food that saved my Chinese stomach 😭 ~20€ per person Via dei Rondinelli, 24/R, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy 🛍️ Shopping Florence is full of adorable little shops! Near the Duomo, there’s a handmade craft store with delicate fridge magnets and Pinocchio-themed clocks 🤥 set against book-page backgrounds — so charming! 💼 The Bridge Apparently super popular because Faye Wong carried one of their bags? Lots of Chinese shoppers here 😄 If you want to avoid “Yiwu-manufactured” items, this brand is a reliable choice 😂 🎨 Uffizi Gallery Home to countless Renaissance masterpieces: Botticelli’s Primavera and The Birth of Venus, da Vinci’s The Madonna of the Carnation, Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo, and more 🖼️ The Tribuna on the second floor had a crazy line — all just to see the Medici Venus sculpture. Advice: skip the line early! Later, it was completely empty 🤣🤣🤣 Book tickets online to save time. Note: there’s no Chinese audio guide, so watch the documentary Florence and the Uffizi Gallery on Bilibili beforehand — or you might feel totally lost! #Italy #Florence #MyCoffeeDiary #FlorenceFood #Fujifilm
