Firenze

[lost_in_italy]

So I arrived in Florence 2 nights ago. It wasn't 3 min. from the train station that I found myself standing beside the Duomo. All I can say is wow. That monument completely dwarfed me. I can't possibly imagine how they erected something that large so many years ago

A institution in florence for lovers of pasta, famous for their Assaggi di primi...a tasting of pasta's. For most it's enough to make a meal, 5 different pasta's served with five different sauces, served in order from the lightest to the heaviest sauce to let you build up to the big flavors. The sauces depend on the imagination of the chef. You must reserve to eat here and they do tend to rush you, but it's a great experience. If you have room, they also have a tasting of salads and desserts plus a full menu.

For Florence’s best bargain meal visit Salumeria, Vini, Trattoria (via Ghibellina 27r, 055 679 390), which is a wonderfully old-fashioned cross between a grocer’s shop, a wine bar and a trattoria.

La Spada

Restaurant La Spada is always filled with locals - A great find for students looking for a great and inexpensive meal. I found the restaurant on the net, so here is their website: Florence Restaurant
