The Florence Florentines love: IL CAPPUCCINO.

My lovely Sunday in Florence...


After my run/fast walk I have a rite. Reading the Sunday newspaper drinking a good Cappuccino.
Dairy should be avoided especially in winter to avoid runny nose, the production of mucus and to prevent Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) , but it's nice to have one once in a while.
And now back in Florence I enjoy it even more.

The best cappuccino need to have an amazing coffee and a great foam. The quality of the foam play a big difference and not everyone is able to do it.

There are many caffetterie where they serve fantastic cappuccino, but my top 5 are the following.  Together with the cappuccino they serve very tasty Italian style croiassant. My advise : have your cappuccino @ the bar. It's really nice talking with the bar tender who is preparing your cappuccino!


Gilli. Great coffee shop in piazza della Repubblica. I love it because I get a taste of Florence and it's really international.
Gualtieri: Tiny, little place close to Porta Romana. The Croissants are amazing.
Cibreino: If Cibreo is considered one of the best restaurant in Florence, the little Cibreo, Cibreino, knows how to do the cappuccino. The quality of the coffee is really high. No doubt about it.
Giorgio: Soffiano... It's not so easy to find it, but once you discover Giorgio it's difficult not to come back. Especially in spring time  they have one of the best Schiacciata alla Fiorentina ever.
Querci: What a pleasure to have breakfast @ Querci after a night shift.... Doctors working  in Careggi know it very well. It's always crowded every day of the week and on Sunday.  Try to imagine why...


Minni is really nice but it's closed on Sunday! 

Vegetarian, gluten free, lactose intolerance...Find YOUR food in Florence.

Vegetarian, lactose intolerant, vegan, celiac....
When travelling is not always easy to find the right food. People often end up carrying their crackers, milk and bars bought in their own country.

Food in Italy  is amazing, no doubt about it,  and it's always possible to order what we need ,  but sometimes it's really nice to sit down and know that we can relax and that we don't have to ask the waiter twice to be careful.

The same is for "special" food. Where can I find a sugar free granola,  amaranth crackers or some good Tofu or Seitan?

Here the places where I normally go in Florence.  Hope this list will be helpful.
