You can have a good meal virtually everywhere
in the Tuscan region. Florence in fact has many excellent restaurants, from
high class to family-owned, where you can enjoy the typical healthy and
tasty Florentine cuisine. There isn’t in fact, a big difference between
a "osteria", a "trattoria", or a "ristorante" in terms of price, environment
and cuisine.
At lunchtime, you can sit and rest in a snack bar or drop by a rotisserie
where you can have a hot meal as opposed to the usual sandwiches sold in all
the bars scattered around the city.
As for the wine, by now the old
wine-shops are slowly disappearing but if you happen to fall upon one by
chance do not hesitate to stop and taste the typical snack food accompanied
by a nice glass of wine.
