Overview
The Oltrarno neighborhood lies smack dab in the center of Florences historical district, just across the River Arno.
This place is blue-collar, Bohemian, and a foodie haven. Stroll Oltrarnos winding cobblestone streets to 8 tasting stops (and many more than 8 tastings) where the distinctive Tuscan fare will leave you delighted.
With your knowledgeable and friendly tour guide at the helm, learn the history of this area as we make our way to the first stop, an Italian bakery. Observe the making of everyones favorite cookie, Cantucci (aka biscotti), along with a sample, of course.
We'll visit a cheese shop/deli to try one of the most beloved of all Tuscan pork products, their unique version of salami seasoned with fennel, known as Finocchiona. Yum!
Tuscans are more likely to have a bowl of hearty soup or stew served with a warm piece of bread than traditional Italian pasta. An authentic trattoria will serve it up, hot and delicious.
This is chianti territory and a glass served with a crisp, crusty crostino will make you feel like a real Italian!
Its time to expand your culinary horizons when we taste a sample of a typical Florentine dish, Lampredotto.
Made from a cows stomach, this sandwich filling is slow-cooked in broth, tender, and topped with a spicy salsa verde.
This street food is a hit with locals, so give it a go.
If perhaps Lampredotto isnt your thing, not to worry, there's gelato up ahead. Cool, fruity and refreshing. A delightful way to end the tour.
