Florence

Butchers, bakers, and bistecca done right.

Irene Koo, editor

A note from the editor

As the former hub of finance, commerce and the arts during the Renaissance, Florence has one of the world’s most charming historic centers, drawing 15 million visitors a year, and businesses ready to prey on the unwary. But I promise, if you know where to go, it’s the perfect place to taste both the refined food of the wealthy and the hearty, scrappy cooking families turned into comfort food.
