Top 5 Delis in Toscana

Via Romana, 25P, 53036 Poggibonsi SI, Italy

“Phenomenal food, everyone is so friendly. We had beef, pork, pasta, and desserts. If you're anywhere nearby make sure to stop in for food!”

Piazza del Collegio, 8, 59100 Prato PO, Italy

“Very tasty food. The flavor is a little lighter and less spicy than what we're used to in America. In a potential homage to Italian food, the garlic naan looks a bit like pizza, but it's still delicious and tastes like traditional garlic naan. The staff is super friendly and speaks English. They explained the menu to us, called out the vegetarian items, and checked in on us multiple times throughout the meal. The atmosphere is nice, as they have ample shaded outdoor seating and provide a small lamp at the table as the sun sets. It's pricier than the other Indian restaurants in the area, but it's worth it for the comfortable environment and excellent service.”

Via Camillo Cavour, 12r, 50129 Firenze FI, Italy

“A gelato shop where everything is done by self-service. The knick-knacks sold in front of the cash register are cute.”

Piazza dei Davanzati, 3/r, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy

“In our quest for a restaurant, we stumbled upon this gem in the afternoon and made a spontaneous reservation for the evening. It was one of the few restaurants that still had enough available seats for the night, and we even had the option to dine outdoors—an enjoyable and tranquil spot right in the heart of the city. The service was commendable, and our waiter consistently delivered witty remarks, not just at our table but at others as well. The food was good, though it didn't quite reach the level of a taste explosion we might expect from a place with a 4.7 rating. Additionally, it could have been served a bit warmer. Overall, it's a dependable, decent restaurant with fair prices.”

Via Santa Maria a Macerata, 4, 50026 San Casciano in Val di pesa FI, Italy

“Cozy family owned restaurant with delicious food. 66 euro for dinner for two - an antipasti, 2 pasta dishes and a shared desert. The restaurant has a handful of tables, so make sure you make reservation.”

“Walking around the city when I ran into this place and the first thing I noticed was the wonderful smell!! Decided to stop and give it and try and let me just say it didn’t disappoint! I ordered the Norcino and immediately wanted to go back for more!!! If in Florence please stop and give them a try one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life!!!”

“In one word, perfect. Friendly staff, amazing panini's and a free toilet. What more could you ask for.”

Via Sant'Agostino, 11/R, 50100 Firenze FI, Italy

“A place with great food and very respectful attitude to customers! Initially I was skeptical about their beef tartar because of bad experience with meet elsewhere, so I ordered a different dish, but they were so kind and brought us two complementary tasting portions of tartar with truffle and… it was gorgeous! And the size was like a real portion 😅 Tartar “melted in my mouth” like I expect the good meat to be. Chicken liver pâté was also truly enjoyable. Thanks for your professionalism!”

Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, 71, 50022 Greve in Chianti FI, Italy

“An amazing place to visit if your a foodie. Historical Macelleria that produces huge amounts of cured meats and cheeses. We purchased some meats and cheeses to enjoy during our trip in Tuscany. The square is quite lively with lots of great stores to explore. We had espresso at a bakery/bar on two mornings with delicious pastries.”

Via Dalmazia, 73, 51100 Pistoia PT, Italy

“Absolutely DELICIOUS! Our Airbnb host suggested this and we are so happy we tried. The “sushi” was so unique and totally amazing. The flavors were delicious together and I wish I could have tried all 4 rolls. We also got a delicious pizza with thicker crust. I wish I recalled the name but I didn’t write it down! The pistachio with dried tomatoes and burrata cheese was to die for! I’m sure I will crave it for months to come. The cannolis were a nice treat but we could have skipped them. Service was great and the offered menus in Italian and English. They suggest reservations. We went early ,7:30 pm, and were able to get a table outside but the filled up after that.”

Via Bergiola Vecchia, 30, 54100 Massa MS, Italy

“It was such an amazing experience. I can see why this restaurant has a Michelin rating. The food is delicious and fresh and is extremely well presented. Art on a plate. The staff were extremely attentive and very communicative and helpful. We were attended to by several staff and each and every one of them were just as pleasant as the next. The atmosphere was a beautiful garden setting that gave such a romantic and beautiful ambience. Parking is nearby, which is signposted. However, the streets leading to this location can be concerning to navigate for tourists such as us, coming from Australia.”

Ristorante, parcheggio ristorante via rapalini, Piazza degli Artisti, 6, 55041 Monteggiori LU, Italy

“It breaks my heart to give this please less than 5 stars. The service was excellent, the views are breathtaking and the quality of the ingredients was exceptional. However, the seasoning was inconsistent. Some of the dishes lacked seasoning while others were a little salty. Nothing too bad though, overall a good experience.”

Via Campania, 16, 50053 Empoli FI, Italy

“Best indian restaurant in the area. Very genuine, and you can tell they use only fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff very gentle. A true gem 💫 …”

“Absolutely recommended! I am writing this while finishing my dessert - and I can’t get enough. Every course was just special providing a whole new taste experience. Amazing!”

Piazza della Passera, 2, 50125 Firenze FI, Italy

“Great local restaurant. They specialize in cow stomach but if that’s not for you the other options on the menu were delicious. The house wine was the best we had I. Florence. I would highly recommend you make a reservation and enjoy some local eats.”

Via dei Neri, 49r, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy

“This was a celiacs heaven! I’m not used to be able to choose from a whole menu, so it took me a while to order. I ended up having the Salsiccina which was 5/5 and La Mitica 4/5. The bread was really good, even my gluten eating boyfriend liked it. Service was great, as well as the ambiance.”

Piazza del Giglio, 2, 55100 Lucca LU, Italy

“We absolutely loved our dinner here. The tasting menu was well thought out. The flow of flavors and textures was impeccable. All of the courses were on point. The best though was the veal dish. It was absolutely fantastic melt in your mouth goodness with simple flavors. The restaurant is also in a very beautiful square. Overall a very good detour on our trip.”

Via Antonio Fratti, 86, 55049 Viareggio LU, Italy

“Saw the Prosciutto, Cheese Panzarotti ok the menu and wanted to give it a try. They don't open Wednesday, Thursdays so we had to wait till Friday. Easy to make a reservation and they have inside/outside seating. Food, service, atmosphere was great. The one thing was the Prawns we had tastes Frozen, but the bottom of menu does state that some seafood may not be fresh and can be frozen. Prices were fair.”

Via Chiara, 6, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy

“We are New Yorkers of asian descent who love Chinese food. The three of us stopped by to enjoy this very authentic Chinese restaurant in Florence. Amazing friendly and attentive staff/service. Tasty food that comes out of the kitchen piping hot. They also have some pretty spicy hot sauce. Great prices and relaxed atmosphere. We highly recommend it for those craving Chinese food while in Florence.”
