We have been in Florence for two weeks and have tried lots of cafés for breakfast and lunch. Café…read moredel Borgo is our favorite for a number of reasons: The people! Bianca and Tan are so wonderful and treated us like family. They are so welcoming and make us feel so taken care of in Florence. They always give us extra goodies to taste and Bianca will often bring over three glasses of prosecco; one for me, one for my daughter and one for Bianca. She will take a few minutes to join us for a quick drink and to ask us how out day has been. Breakfast Love the cornetto con pistache, the folio (I think it's called) a layered pastry with crème or pistacchio. A great variety of coffee drinks including iced drinks that are delicious and appreciated in summer heat wave. Lunch I'm obsessed with la Furba sandwich. One of my daughters gets the la Ganza. The focaccia is delicious, they use a super fresh pesto, fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto and arugula. It's hot on the outside and a little cooler on the inside. Fantastico. Aperativo They offer Hugo spritz and Sarti Spritz and you can take then to go if you like. Our favorites! We try to go to café del Borgo every day now, and will be very sad to be without them when we return to the US.

Extremely nice and pleasant to interact with and helped get us everything we needed. I'm gonna give this place a whole extra star just for being able to help store our luggage while our Airbnb wasn't ready. It was truly a life saver and really not too expensive at all.

The Best Artisanal Gelato we've ever had!!!…read more We were walking across Ponte Vecchio and found this gem with FRESH, ORIGINAL FLAVORS gelato'!! They let you try all their flavors.. so if you feel a bit adventurous try their GINGER gelato, which adds a bit of spice to the fresh taste. My other original flavor is PERSIMMON: literally a burst of flavor in your mouth!!! Of course, they have all the classic favorites, which PEANUT is by far the best I have ever had!! A MUST TRY if you are in Florence... You would be missing THE BEST GELATO' in town if you didn't swing by this shop!!

During a 5 week stay in Italy, I stopped here to purchase some yummy desserts for a dinner party at…read moremy Italian friend's home. I selected this bakery because it had good reviews and was only a couple blocks from my apartment. When I arrived at my friend's with an armload of Mama's goodies they said, "Oh, you went to the American bakery!" Me : Huh? I did? Of course I (an American) had somehow stumbled into probably the only American bakery in Florence. (To be fair, they may bake a lot of American style treats, but it is staffed and frequented by mostly locals. The cashier graciously went and found the one staff member who spoke English to help me. Very kind.) I had ordered about a dozen different items - cookies, brownies, pies - and we all had a great time sampling them after dinner. Every single one was absolutely delicious! B O T T O M L I N E : Go! Cozy spot, lots of seating, great food, and friendly staff!

It's a nice open restaurant right on the edge of the Amalfi coast. After spending the day on the…read moreIsland of Capri it was a total pleasure to relax and have lunch. I had calamari and fried fish with fries. It fine enough. It neither dish had any flavor. I utilized a lot of salt, pepper, and lemon. Then it was edible. My sons had for starter's: the anchovies, tuna slices, and tuna tartar. I tasted the anchovies and surprisingly they were amazing. They put all the flavor and seasoning in the anchovies and tuna fish slices. The tuna fish had flavor but it still had that fish tuna taste. It was seasoned well though. I didn't try the tuna tartar but my son said it was good. It was over a bed of chopped up cantaloupe. The tartar was marinated and very flavorful. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't really memorable for me. I wouldn't be interested in going back. The staff was attentive and joyful. They played songs from the Mama Mia soundtrack and customers and staff members sang along. I may have picked the wrong thing but my family enjoyed what they had.

We didn't have a cannoli yet and their cannoli was just calling our name from the glass window. Caffe Neri is a small narrow shop with various goods from sandwiches to pastries to desserts and also coffee. We opted for the cannoli and a specialty cake that they are known for. Both were not too expensive and was just okay. Oddly enough, I've had better cannoli in Philadelphia. The sponge cake was just a sponge cake. It's a quaint little shop, good to try a few things, but nothing exceptional in my eyes.
