🇮🇹 Milan & Florence Food Guide: Tasty & Affordable Bites You MUST Tr

Real recommendations after a week of eating — only the best made the list! No filter needed on these photos 😉 Average meal under €30 per person — bellissimo! 🍴 Near Milan Central Station 【Al Passeggero】 📍 Via Giovanni Schiaparelli, 1, 20125 Milano MI A sweet Chinese-Italian couple runs this spot — authentic dishes from both cultures! We went Italian this time. 🦐 Asparagus & Prawn Egg Yolk Pasta A MUST-order!! The shrimp-based sauce is incredibly rich and fragrant. The prawns and asparagus were so tender — still dreaming about this dish! 🦞 Lobster Pasta Fresh lobster 🦞, generous sauce — feels like a portion for two! 🏫 This place has “student canteen” vibes — the owner even kept our leftover lunch and reheated it for dinner. So cozy! 🍷 Milan Local Gem: Pizzeria (Unnamed) A casual local spot — great seafood platter, grilled seafood, risotto, and mussels pasta. Their house red wine 🍷 is the real star — perfectly chilled. You can order ¼L to try or ½L to share. A game-changer! 🍢 Florence — Near Santa Maria del Fiore 【Jiu Shi Ji】 📍 Via dei Servi, 91R, 50122 Firenze FI Better Chinese food than in London 😲 Super affordable skewers + beef noodle soup! Opens at night — gets full in under 20 mins 🏃‍♀️🏃 🔥 Must-tries: Grilled pig trotters Whole grilled squid Sweet-style fried cauliflower (more like tianpin style — I loved it!) Offal appetizer Fresh soy milk 🥛 (so much better than UK versions!) Clean, modern, and always buzzing 👌 #ItalianFood #MilanEats #FlorenceFood #TravelItaly #SchengenVisa #FoodGuide #UKFoodies #EatLikeALocal
