A hidden gem in Firenze. A quaint meat and cheese shop, offering small bites and sandwiches…read more Alessandro the owner was so kind and welcoming. He recommended a meat and cheese board with some vino that was absolutely divine. I don't think I've ever had such a delicious and fresh off the bone charcuterie as I did today. He sat with us while we snacked sharing with us his family history and 3 generations of business, since 1924. Such a kind soul. I hope his business lasts lifetimes more. It truly is such a special place. Can't wait to get back. Highly recommend. No crowds either.

One of my absolute favorite meals I had while in Italy. Not as well known, as another reviewer…read morementioned, definitely a hidden gem. One I'm so glad my group and I stumbled upon. The family/staff that owns the market and restaurant was so sweet. We stopped by for a lunch and ordered anything they recommended. They were extremely attentive and wanted us to have the best experience. We had the Ribollita and their charcuterie board for 2. It was such a treat! I've never had Ribollita before then, but it tasted so fresh and homey. It was as if a family had invited you to their home for a meal. The eating space is a tiny, so if you find an open table definitely try to grab a bite there! The walls are also littered with post it notes from customers who have had the pleasure of eating there. Such a great eatery!

Very good food, great prices, and excellent service! We took the Chianti wine tour and one of the…read morestops was in Greve. The town is quant and very beautiful. In the "center" there are many shops including this butcher. We sat outside and tried many of their wines. We ordered the truffle panini, a cheese board, the tomato, onion, basil salad, and the bruschetta. The tomatoes are vibrant and juicy. You wont taste anything like it. The cheese board had thick cuts of different cheeses (no clue what types but the truffle one was my fave). It comes with honey and onion compote and bread. Again, the service has been incredible! They were so lovely here and you feel like family!

The vegetables are fresh picked - you can smell the earth- and about 1/ 3 the price of central Florence. The place is busy. Lots of locals. Inside are local goods, meat, poultry, cheese, and fish. You can't get any fresher. Olive oils and many other DTLA acids inside. Outside there are clothing vendors, farmers, plant sellers, jewelry and antiques. I highly recommend stopping by to get a local feel. Check times.

This market is not in the city centre and it's a bit further, but still walking distance. We came…read moreby just after 9:30 on a Friday. There are fewer crowds here, probably because of its location, which makes it a prime spot for food tours. We didn't do one but we just wandered around ourselves. There are fewer options here than Mercato Centrale but the trade off is that you don't have to deal with all the people. They sell a lot of the same stuff - fresh produce, meats, and some vendors selling food. We tried the tripe sandwich here, which wasn't as good as the other market, but still delicious. We also bought some strawberries outside, which might have been some of the best strawberries I've ever eaten in my life, so definitely don't sleep on those. Mercato di Sant'Ambrogio is worth the trek!

So, before we left Florence we made sure to stop by this butcher and fine foods store. We are so glad we did. We got 3 bottles of the best vinegar we had this whole trip, 3 bottles of truffle oil and a delicious local artisan sausage (it would be wrong not to buy meat from a butcher shop!). The butcher was so friendly and helpful. Wrapping my bottles carefully, since he knew we were traveling. He made sure to tell me how to best use the truffle oil and told me they were the best in the region. Thanks for the best take home gifts.

I spoke Italian but with an American accent, he practically laughed in my face, said he has nothing, gave me no alternatives or suggestions and said you're too late!

I do not wish anyone to be treated so badly and therefore say walk away find a nicer more people friendly butcher!! Merry Christmas!

It was much larger than a Conad and very similar to an American market except their offerings are much more interesting. I was in love with the vast yogurt selection. Picked up some Pistacchio Yogurt for breakfast and it was delicious! They also had fresh fruit for decent prices and plenty of food souvenirs to take home. I found a box of Ferrero's Pocket Expresso that I've been searching for and some juices. Plenty of locals shop here as I didn't see too many tourists. Bonus: You can also buy bus tickets here!

Our food tour stopped at this butcher for tastes of local meats and cheeses. Definitely different…read morethan the usual Iberico or Parma ham, these are more Tuscan and therefore taste differently. With it, slices of fresh and aged cow's milk cheese. All delicious and with an introduction and explanation by the butcher. Fabulous. After that, we had some fresh bread with an interesting meat dish that some of my friends on the tour guide decided to skip but I dug in. Lampredotto is made from cow stomach (specifically, the fourth one), slow-cooked in broth and seasoned. It was... unusual. I wouldn't say I would definitely have it again but I enjoyed the opportunity to try something completely different. In addition to the butchery, Terrazza Menoni has a proper sit down restaurant upstairs. [Review 17032 overall - 230 in Italy - 548 of 2022.]
