BEST Food Market In Italy? 🇮🇹 Food Tour At The Central Market, Florence | Life in Italy

[Music] everything’s intense it’s amazing so  good yeah is really really good oh yeah I’m   ready my stomach is ready jna everyone already  super nice the the smells here incredible how   hungry are you on a scale 1 to 10 11 11 and a  half actually steaks here are amazing look at

That honestly I kind of wish I lived near here  I would shop here every single day oh we’d be   eating here every single day imagine coming to  a place like this on your lunch break there’s   so many options you’re never really going to  get bored of anything I found the pastries and  

The breads but I think we want to go for  some actual food food I see something you   see it on the right that’s got to be the first  thing you eat in Florence so downstairs there  

Are only a few places to eat and we cannot find  one that’s actually open so we’re going to just   head upstairs straight to the food court and see  what we can find this looks much more promising  

And smells much better anything on a stick  I love when they have the steak on a [Music] stick if you’re hungry like we are then just head  straight upstairs to go eat cuz we got off of a 3  

And 1 half hour train ride here this morning and  we were starving we’re upstairs we’re going to   see how much food we can eat here and then we can  go explore the downstairs explore the market and  

See what they have I think it’s pretty acceptable  to have some wine before you eat e thing today so   starting off strong with a glass of Kean well you  got to remember here in Italy people drink wine  

All day every day so it doesn’t there’s no good  time or bad time there’s just only time for wine   it’s my favorite time we just started off and the  two things that we’re going to go with right now  

Are the spadini Misti which are like Shish kababs  pork Shish kababs the other thing is tusin pork   Shish kababs the tuskin sausages these smell  amazing and it really help very smoked oh my   God so in Tuscany I noticed in general in Italy  they do not go light on the meat and the portion  

Sizes here are very generous so it’s a good thing  we came hungry Yeah we actually been waiting about   10 minutes for these because it’s actually very  very fresh the the food has to be cooked right  

It’s not like sitting out or anything like that  which is great that’s one of the things I love   about the food here oh oh my gosh good right the  pork is so juicy it’s probably been drinking the  

Same wine I don’t know what the the point of the  vegetables are for maybe just to give it some   color some it’s a garnish yeah we we could easily  replace this with more of this pork here it’s so  

Good I’m sorry to say this but I think tuskin  has the best wine other Italians are going to   come for me people from our old region are going  to come for us but that seems to be universally  

Agreed upon in Italy is that the wine in Tuscany  is the best other regions have different kinds   of wine that are good but here you’re just never  going to find bad wine so um here the sausage fit

Pack they’re very passionate about the meat  as you can hear so is this the tused sausage   I don’t know if this smoked sausage but it’s  the sausage is smoking so o I wore I chose a  

Bad day to wear white so the sausage is very  good it’s got a lot of layers a lot of herbs   inside but honestly this would have been better  if it had some sauce like something to dip in  

Cuz it’s very like very Hardy true I don’t think  they really do a lot of sauces here we’ll have   to see if we can find something and show you  if they do but most of the time they just let  

The food speak for itself so the goal in this  market is to see how much Florence food how   much tuskin food we can possibly stomach today  well I’m pretty hungry so that’s a challenge   I’m willing to take I mean so far we got the  shish kebabs the sausage and the wine it’s

Amazing still hungry but we’re going to go  downstairs and see what else we can find so the   downstair downstairs close closes at 1: and the  upstairs is open till midnight so if you’re hungry  

At 11:00 p.m. here don’t worry you can just come  here to the food market and get some food so many   cheese options oh my God so I don’t think I’ve  seen so many biscotti in my life and they have the  

Vinsanto so uh if for those that don’t know you  take the biscotti little dried up cookies they’re   cookies yeah and then you take this wine and you  dip it and it is the best thing ever I don’t think  

A lot of people talk about it you can take some  home this is the best combination ever like if   you ever get the chance to come to Florence it  is amazing as we were walking around we randomly  

Found this pasta Place fresh made you a fresh  made pasta uh and there’s a line so you know   uh you know I have to wait in line to see if it’s  actually worth the hype and I’ll let you know if  

It’s good cool so we just got our ticket here um  yeah you have to wait in a really long line it’s   like 10 or 15 minutes long but we’ll hope it’s  worth it cuz the pasta is fresh we got the Talia  

Pasta with wild War very tuskin that sounds very  tus no it is it is we’re just waiting let’s try it was that worth the waight smells amazing so  I mean that’s a pretty good portion size for €6  

That’s huge it’s extremely hot when they said  fresh pasta they weren’t joking oo wa I don’t   know what’s more intensity of the cheese or the  the boar the wild boar even the cheese is intense   everything’s intense it’s amazing all right  I’ll see you later hey hey hey First Impressions  

Italians are very very very generous with their  portion sizes honestly this at a restaurant   especially in Florence here this would have  probably cost easily like at least €1 15 they’re   charging you only six with the meat and the cheese  honestly you know what I’m more impressed with  

The bore It’s So Fresh So it’s safe to say uh we  really like the pasta worth the wait it’s worth   the weit once I’m not going back in line for  another serving but it was really good really Good we are on to place three and it’s another  glass of wine I went with a white vertino Toscano   what do you have I have KY Classico um the one  that I wanted they didn’t have but it’s okay I  

Mean to me it’s all good either way but what do  we have what is the star of this so we have the   special the pork sandwich which is like um looks  like a roasted pork it’s literally like right next  

To the camera right now but we have it in Sandwich  form here the guy was sitting here before us told   us that is really really good so we had to go with  that o wow there’s so much flavor spice and just  

Smokiness it’s also very dry so definitely get  some wine with this I love the fact that it’s   on top of a Pacha bread it just cuz the bread  is a little salty so it just adds so much more  

Flavor mhm to the sandwich it’s also very Herby  as well there’s a ton of herbs inside this pig   I think the best part of the peretta is when  they give you pieces of the skin just like an   explosion of flavor I’m not even exaggerating  I know we’re in Florence and I know sandwiches  

Are kind of a thing here but I’m just going  to put it out there that this is going to be   a hard sandwich to top yeah there’s a lot of  really famous sandwich places in Florence um  

Some that are like really old as well obviously  it’s going to be impossible for us to try all of   the food there we’re going to try we’re going to  try exactly but this place at the market so far  

We’re starting off strong so this is going to be  really really tough to beat and we’re also going a   tomorrow so stay tuned for that video we’re going  to be trying the best sandwich in Florence which  

The line the weight is ridiculous but we’re  going to see if it’s if it’s good or if it’s overhyped the downstairs has a bunch of  like little restaurants hidden around so   definitely take your time walking around but  mainly it’s just like produce and you can get  

A lot of really cool souvenirs but if you’re  really hungry like we said earlier just just   go upstairs we’re here on the Saturday so the  downstairs doesn’t close till 5 today but we’re   trying to find something else that’s authentic  and delicious I’m skeptical of the seafood not  

Because I think it’s going to be bad for me but  it’s I’m not a huge fan but we’re not really near   the ocean we’re like we’re not that close like  Venice we’s see what we can find if we can’t  

Find anything we’ll just switch to desserts so  they even have a cooking class you can do here   on the second floor which is pretty cool after a  full day of eating I mean you’ll have the fresh  

The best ingredients right yeah they’re pretty  much all about 80 80 or €120 like 90% of them   are about [Music] [Applause] [Music] 80 so we  found something that I guess it’s a bit unique   to TUS which is pumpkin soup with truffle but  let’s see if it tastes good ooh there’s pepper  

In here it’s very strong but this is literally  like straight up pumpkin just pureed and cooked   with some spices it’s very good let’s see how  it tastes with a truffle nice nice nice truffle bite everyone is obsessed with truffle and  honestly for me especially when it’s fresh  

Like that it just adds a little bit more of  like earthiness to something but it’s not   like a spectacular taste I don’t know  comment down below like do you prefer   truffle do you taste something like that’s  extra extraordinary this is good but that  

Poretta sandwich is so much better honestly  cheaper and better and the reason why I think   I think this is a little too healthy too  healthy I’m sure I’m sure we can balance   it out I need the whole fridge burn in  the house what do you think I mean we

Got the best wine I’ve ever [Music] had last thing here at the uh Market is we’re going  to get the kuchi which are just uh cookies or   biscotti and uh the VIN Santa which is a sort of a  sweet wine that you dip the cookies into and then  

You just eat them like that it’s a really popular  tusin dessert and uh we just got it from a little   saucer here so we’re going to try it right now  you just kind of soak it in there for a second or

Two it’s also a very strong alcohol like  when you smell it it’s just like hits you   it’s definitely like an herbal lour like  a like a jagger kind of alcohol you’re   not really going to find this at most of the  Stalls in fact upstairs in the food court we  

Couldn’t find it at all so you have to really  be careful and look but if you do find it it’s   totally worth it because like I said this  is really really native to tuskin and in a   lot of the really nice um steakhouses around  this area you’re going to find this in the  

Dessert section after your meal so it’s really  really good that sure does look good [Music] mhm it’s been a while since I’ve had this  so [Music] good so we spent the whole   afternoon eating and I think we’re going  to spend the second day exploring the city  

Uh seeing what we can find and uh burning  off all the calories we’ve eaten hopefully   you enjoyed the little tour of the  market and stay tuned for the next   video of Florence you don’t want to miss  it ciao this is like the most touristy shot [Music] ever

Florence is very well know for all it’s wonderful art and architecture but today we want to show you all the amazing Italian/Tuscan food that you should not miss.
