Eat like a local and try one of our favorite Florentine discoveries in the City of Love first published on Travel Awaits (Feb. 2023).
Pro Tip: Embrace Italian culture with Florence’s well-known bistecca alla Fiorentina, obtained from the loin of young beef or “scottona” which is a young cow that has never mated. Always served rare, the portion may be big enough for 2 to 4 people. Add the well-loved roasted potatoes to your order.
