Florence 🥝 The Best Meal I Had in 8 Days in 🇮🇹

I followed a food blogger’s recommendations and visited several restaurants, but this one was by far the most successful! Previous meals were either just okay or total misses 🫠. This place was truly worth every penny, everyone!!! Thank you to the blogger for the recommendation. It was so delicious that I wanted to change my train ticket just to stay and eat more haha. The staff speaks English and their service was great, super charming haha. Shortly after we sat down, they immediately brought us each a complimentary aperitif 🥹. It was so thoughtful, it almost brought tears to my eyes. I ordered the same dishes as the blogger, and they were all so delicious! The beef was tender and flavorful, served with crispy bread slices that added a delightful crunch. The pasta was a bit on the lighter side for my taste, but it was perfectly cooked—not al dente as Italians prefer. The bone marrow was the best!!!!! It had a sweet and tangy flavor, with just the right amount of tomato taste. The beef was incredibly tender, and when paired with the creamy mashed potatoes, it was pure bliss! I would come back to Florence just for this unassuming restaurant 😚. It was that good!!!!! Trattoria Il Giardino (It’s quite close to the train station, just a few minutes’ walk) Remember to make a reservation. Booking through TheFork even gets you a 50% discount! #ItalianCuisine #HiddenGemRestaurant #ItalianTravel #FlorenceFood #FlorenceFoodGuide #ItalianFoodRecommendation
