This beef offal is a must-try with your eyes closed!

In Florence, Italy, there's a local favorite restaurant called Ristorante Pizzeria Canto De' NelliADD . I had some incredibly delicious Italian tripe and pizza there. It's located near the Florence Cathedral, and I highly recommend the traditional Italian dishes I ordered! 🥘 Trippa Fiorentina : This is a traditional Florentine dish made from stewed tripe. It's a staple in the Tuscany region of Italy. The locals say it's made with tripe as the main ingredient, slow-cooked with vegetables, tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. The texture was amazing—I thought foreigners didn't eat offal, but it turns out this dish has been a classic since the Middle Ages! (It originated in the Middle Ages and has evolved into a traditional dish through the Industrial Revolution.) 🍕 Pizza Firenze : This is called "Florence Pizza." It was recommended by the owner. Florence is in the central Tuscany region of Italy. Compared to pizzas from other regions, this one has a thinner and crispier crust. The focus is on the fermentation of the dough and the aroma from wood-fired baking. It's a regional specialty! (You can see the large oven inside the restaurant.) This one is a must-order! 🍜 Porcini Pasta : Porcini mushrooms are at their best in the fall season. These "kings of mushrooms" are large and plump. The pasta with cheese is incredibly rich! 🥗 De Nelli Salad : The cheese in this salad is truly exceptional. It has a rich dairy flavor with a hint of freshness, and the price is reasonable! Address : Ristorante Pizzeria Canto De' NelliADD: Via del Canto dei Nelli, 22/R, 50123 Firenze FI ⏰ Operating Hours : 9:00 AM - 11:30 PM 💰 Price : See the picture. Tip : This historic restaurant in the San Lorenzo district of Florence has its own pizza oven. Taking photos inside is very picturesque. The outdoor seating has good lighting and faces the San Lorenzo Basilica. The view from outside is also great (just be mindful of pickpockets). If you're worried about the sun, you can sit inside. There are free restrooms available. Florence Central Market (il Mercato Centrale Firenze) : There's a street next to the restaurant that sells bags. Walk straight for 200 meters, and you'll reach a local market. It also has authentic tripe, ham, and various Italian snacks. You can order and cook them on the spot, and they taste great too. The portions are smaller, so if you prefer the ambiance, you might still want to eat at the restaurant. History of Tripe : Florence, being a major center of the Renaissance, has a rich culinary culture influenced by historical and economic factors. In the Middle Ages, tripe and other offal were inexpensive and became a primary source of protein for the common people. Butchers would supply the nobility with the best cuts of beef, while the "leftovers" like tripe and stomach were processed by ordinary people through stewing to extend their shelf life and enhance flavor. This efficient use of ingredients reflects the Tuscan philosophy of "waste not, want not." #ItalyTravel #Florence #TravelSupportPlan #InDepthTravelTips #OffTheBeatenPath #HolidayHotspots #HighlyRecommendLocalCuisine #EveryPathIsDelicious #TravelGuideForJPeople
