10 Food & Drink in Santa Croce That You Shouldn't Miss

August 28, 2021 Harland Bartelt

Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

Cooking in Florence

Personal cooking class for small groups of family and/or friends. Wonderful.

Reviewed By lesliejB2928PU

My husband and I visited Italy last year and had the pleasure of spending an afternoon cooking, laughing, and learning with Laura of Cooking in Florence. Laura met us at the local farmers market where we discussed our favorite meals and ingredients, and chose seasonal produce to create our meal. We then walked to her beautiful kitchen where we enjoyed a glass of wine and began too cook! We started with learning to make a simple yet delicious bread, followed by cooking whole artichokes in a tomato sauce, then learned to make our own pasta for an outrageously delicious carbonara, and finished it all off with a decadent chocolate lava cake. We enjoyed our afternoon with Laura so much that we lost track of time and realized we would be late for our tickets to see the David. Laura kindly called ahead to the museum and explained the situation, safely securing our spot! Our time with Laura was one of the highlights of our trip to Florence and one who hope to repeat on our next trip.
