All the food we tried was delicious, and the guide put in a lot of effort to tell us all about the dishes and Florence. We went to a few places, but the pace was relaxed, and the guide wasn't rushing us. I absolutely recommend this tour! You can try so many different dishes so it was a thousand times better than just going to a restaurant!!!
We loved our guide. He told us a lot about Florence in the restaurants and while we were going to the next one. The food and Chianti wine were amazing, especially the tomato soup with bread. There was a lot of food, so we were stuffed by the end of it. The tour was well-organized and we didn't have to hurry anywhere, which I appreciate!

AUTHENTIC TUSCAN DISHES
If you visit Italy, you seriously have to try some local food. It's not known all over the world for nothing! You can start with Pici, a Tuscan type of pasta similar to spaghetti and commonly served with Cacio e Pepe. Then try Pappa al Pomodoro, a delicious Tuscan soup with tomatoes and bread. Ribollita is a similar dish but made with white beans. Finish off with dessert. First, you have to try Cantucci with Vinsanto. Cantucci are cookies with almonds, and you can dip them in a wine called Vin Santo, or Holy Wine in translation. Finish off with some proper gourmet Italian gelato.
CHIANTI REGION
Chianti, the wine, is named after Chianti, the region. It is a region between Florence, Siena, Arezzo and Pisa. It is known for its unique landscape with picturesque hills covered with vineyards, olive trees and quaint villages. The wine produced here is certified with a symbol of a black roster and there are a few types, depending on where and how they are made. If you don't drink or don't like wine, don't worry. There are other options, like beer, soft drinks and water. The Chianti region often captures the hearts of visitors. To deepen your knowledge of its wine culture, consider booking a Chianti tour from Florence the next day. It’s a perfect way to discover more of Tuscany’s flavors and countryside.

Why is it called "The Holy Wine"?
Vin Santo is a wine produced in Tuscany and there are a few theories about the origin of its name. According to legend, during the Black Plague in the 14th century, a Dominican friar gave wine to the victims of the disease and told them it was a miraculous drink. It is also possible the name comes from the season when the wine was bottled because November is the month when Saints are celebrated.
