The 35 Best Restaurants in Florence, Italy | Eater
"Procacci is a cornerstone of Florence’s aperitivo scene. In operation since 1885, the cafe catered to King Vittorio Emanuele III, and it has displayed a royal coat of arms from the House of Savoy since 1925. The truffle den is now owned by Antinori, Tuscany’s most historic wine-producing clan (30-plus generations strong), who supply all the wine. Dive into the decadent menu for options like foie gras, mortadella soaked in alchermes (an Italian liqueur), or egg with sliced truffle. Pick up a few gourmet souvenirs too, including truffle salts, truffle-infused anchovies, white truffle honey, aged balsamic vinegars, and fine chocolates. Vibe check: These days, it’s a good spot for people-watching during fashion trade shows, when global fashionistas flock for dainty mini paninos and glasses of sparkling Franciacorta (Lombardy’s equivalent of Champagne)." - Coral Sisk
