Low costs places to eat well in Florence

Saving on food in Italy is not difficult. Italy is a very democratic country when it comes to gastronomy and, in general, the values are very fair; there are restaurants for all tastes and budgets. Let’s get to our post of the day: Low costs places to eat well in Florence Here at Your Travel to Italy with Ana Patriciayou make the trip of your dreams!!! ALSO: see our “Accommodation in Italy – Tips for your holidays!”

Introduction

As we have said several times, eating in Italy is a ritual taken very seriously! Italy is one of the countries with the richest gastronomy in the world and is able to offer several options: meat, fish, vegetarian, sweets etc. Tuscany is the birthplace of some of the best Italian wines and harmonizes them flawlessly with its typical dishes that are full of flavors, aromas and colors. Learn more about Florence by clicking here!

The most traditional dish in town is, of course, the Bistecca alla Fiorentina (“Florentine steak”), which is wonderful! In cities like Florence, the best tip I can give you is: don’t go to tourist restaurants. The best restaurants, which are also frequented by the locals, are on the side streets, those that nobody pays much attention to. They are frequently small doors and, usually, family businesses, generation after generation, which gives the dishes the authentic Florentine and homemade flavor. Visit our Section on Food in Italy!

Important Tips

Do a lot of research before you travel, ask your friends for tips, read a lot about the restaurant you intend to visit, so you don’t have any unpleasant surprises.
Avoid ordering dishes from other regions in local restaurants, they feel very offended, many of them do not even include dishes from other regions on the menu.
For dinner, reservation is normally required. Anyway, make the reservation, especially if you are traveling in high season.
Be sure to ask for suggestions at the hotel where you are staying: they usually have a list of excellent restaurants close to the hotel and, if you are lucky, you may even receive a discount, as many hotels have agreements with the indicated restaurants.
Ask if the hotel restaurant where you are staying serves lunch and / or dinner: sometimes a great restaurant is right under our nose and we don’t realize it.
Don’t be afraid to “discover” a new restaurant. Is research important? Yes, but sometimes being surprised by a new place can be fantastic.
Remember that if you are driving DO NOT DRINK! As tempting as wine may seem, drink and driving DO NOT MATCH, O.K.?!
If you have entered a restaurant and found that it is not for you, do not hesitate to change the restaurant! Sometimes we think “since I’m here…”; don’t fall for it! Change without getting a guilty conscience.

Hotels I recommend in the Historic Center

In the Historic Center (Old Town), is really easy to admire all the main attractions of the city very easily. The old town of Florence corresponds to the oldest and most beautiful part of the city. If you want to stay in the real heart of Florence, choose hotels in the central areas of Piazza Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio, Cathedral, Gallery of Offices, etc.

If you want some indications of hostels (or B&B) and apartments, I have some options that I suggest if you want to save money; click on the links below and get to know each one. If you like the suggestion, make your reservation and guarantee good prices!

If you prefer hotels, I have some options that I recommend with great cost benefit! Click on the links below and get to know each one. If you like the suggestion, make your reservation and guarantee good prices.

Hotels that I recommend in Oltrarno

Always staying very close to the Historic Center, you can also stay in Oltrarno, close to the most characteristic craft shops in the whole city and much more. The area is perfect for those who want quiet accommodation and for those who want to breathe the real Florentine atmosphere. At the same time, you will be close to the center of Florence, a short walk from the main monuments, squares, churches, restaurants, shops and museums.

Hotels that I recommend in Santa Maria Novella

Another interesting neighborhood to stay is Santa Maria Novella. This is a particularly exclusive area because of the proximity to the station (great if you want to do a lot of tours leaving from Florence) and the famous Church of Santa Maria Novella, a very important reference in Florence.

Hotels that I recommend in Santa Croce

Another neighborhood where you can stay is Santa Croce, where the homonymous church is located. This area, located in the southeastern part of the historic center, is close to the most interesting monuments and has its fulcrum in the church of Santa Croce. Among the scenic palaces in this district, there are many hotels that can accommodate you for a wonderful weekend in Florence.

Hotels that I recommend in Campo di Marte

Another economic possibility, where you can stay in Florence, is Campo di Marte; in this area there are several well-equipped and affordable hotels. It is a quiet and charming residential area in Florence, well connected to the historic city center by public transport. Campo di Marte has its own train station where several regional and high-speed trains stop, with which you can easily reach other Tuscan cities and major cities in Italy. It is a great choice if you have rented a car too.

Hotels I recommend outside the Historic Center

And so, if you decide to breathe a less touristic air, a good choice could be to stay in Florence right outside the historic center, where hotel prices are cheaper and the most convenient solution if you come by car. Another possibility is to stay away, in some nearby town, and experience the silence of the wonderful Tuscan landscape, but in this case it is necessary to have a car.
