Perfect arrival . . . I'm coming for a wedding the week of Dec 10 in Florence and all your leads provide a lot of opportunities. I'm hopeful to slip in a drive over to San Miniato to visit your new place!

Best from Bainbridge Island, WA

I still dream about Sbrino, but not as much as I dream about the breads from Antico Forno Giglio.

Found this post (and your substack which I am now subscribed to!) just in time for my Sept trip to Italy. Made a reservation 5ecinque and hoping to go to Dalla Lola on the day they re-open but looking for a back-up plan as well. Should I consider Vini e Vecchi Sapori or do you think its too crowded? Thanks!

I think it's a bit touristy but it's quite a good choice for being right in the very centre of Florence!

Thank you! Going to try for Enoteca Spontanea since I want less touristy!

Hi, thank you for sharing your non touristy tips for Florence. Might you have recommendations for Lucca? We will be there for 1 week in September with a group of friends, staying inside the wall.
