They put the cream cheese on the spot when you order so it's cold and fresh. It was so tasty. The other things we ordered were also very good. The owner that helped us was so sweet and very kind. They have the most tastiest desserts and savory snacks!!

At which point the lady behind the counter decided to stop serving and run to the bathroom to ask in a very accusatory tone "can I help you" at which point I said "not yet I'm going g to wash my hands and by right with you". Get response was "no not until you buy something". Atmosphere became a little hostile and certainly lowered my impression of the place. Not something I have felt elsewhere in Florence. This alone was enough for me to leave. There are better attitudes and nicer places to go all around. Stay away is my advice.

My friend and I were inexplicably craving Chinese food and Il Panda did not disappoint. We grabbed a menu and decided we would have a feast! We ended up getting the following: fried wontons, wanton soup, sweet corn chicken soup, vegetable fried rice, chicken chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and lemon chicken. Sounds like a lot of food, right? It was, but with a price tag of a mere 17€! We spent more eating at a mcdonalds. Not only was the food delicious but the portions generous. We definitely could have fed 3-4 people with the amount we had. I definitely recommend checking out Il Panda if you are looking for some delectable Chinese take out!

Nice local grocery store! It's slightly cheaper than the Carrefour expresses that you'll stumble…read moreupon closer to the center (near the Duomo). Came to look for some groceries while here in Florence for a family trip! Found this location through Google Maos. This store is great because they have anything that you might need (which is pretty good for an express store) -- not sure if express stores are different than the American versions of expresses, but they had a good amount of options of just about everything. Not sure if the price is what all grocery stores charge in the area because a lot of things seemed quite expensive (loaf of bread could be 4 euros, where as in the US, it would be like 2). But it's a nice place to go to pick up some essential food items/snacks if you don't like eating out all the time when traveling (especially since it can be hard sometimes to find a foods that fit your craving). They carry: - Fresh fruits & veggies - Meats & seafoods - Refrigerated items like: seafood, frozen meals, milk, yogurts, cheese - Drinks: soda, waters, wines, beers, coffee - snacks: chips, nuts, crackers, chocolates and more - household items: kitchen utensils & cutlery, laundry items, bathroom items (toilet paper) - Travel items: power adapters & power extensions

Quick notes: Our first time at this particular food market…read morevendor in Florence but have been at this great food hall on past trips. What a Great , FUN & DELICIOUS happy place to eat. Their staff is so happy, cheerful, super friendly and nice with singing and music playing. What an uplifting experience. They were so friendly, upbeat and simply said a lot of fun to be around. We got there before the crowds as there were lines after we got our food. They gave out some samples often to us while we were eating and to others waiting on the line. We had: Eggplant parm Tomato soup x2 ( went back for another after trying a family members ) and also had bean veg soup ( something like that- forgot the name) -Soda's -Wine available but we didn't have any with our lunch. -Fun place & tons of meat samples from the staff as they were putting it on our plates as we were eating. -staff Singing with music playing -places to sit-with high tables and chairs Extremely Very friendly staff

Decided to come back the second day, but all of the food stalls were closed. Finally, the third time's the charm. We made it with half an hour to spare, on a Friday at around 2:30. There was still a small line at that time. They have lots of other dishes, which people were ordering, but it seemed like everyone was getting the fried zucchini flowers at the minimum. They might be the best fried zucchini flowers I have ever eaten. Granted, I haven't eaten a whole lot of these, but they were so good. They are fried to order right in front of your eyes. The chef will even give you a little sample while you're waiting, if you're lucky. The batter is light and airy, and comes out perfectly crisp. Each order comes with 6 pieces and costs €8. After a piece or two, it does get a bit much, no matter how good they are. The flowers are pretty big, and you are eating deep-fried food after all. One order would be the perfect snack to share between 3-4 people. I can't speak about the other food but the zucchini flowers are a must!
