“Wait until they discover Il Barroccio.” the Dude of Food.

It’s true what they say about Il Barroccio on Trip Advisor and elsewhere on the internet. It is just a matter of time before folks will discover and be flocking to Il Barroccio . It is located just around the corner from a huge crowded plaza and under the jail window that once was home to Niccolo Machiavelli and is an easily found hidden gem.

The Dude of Food wanted ‘to try the homemade noodles wrestling with soft chunks of wild boar in a seriously delicious sauce, please.’

It looked unbelievable and truly tasted better as it made it’s way over my taste buds followed by a bath of decadent Tuscan red wine.

Giovanni and Roberto are top notch folks and  Il Barroccio offers food to match. Grazie.

“Favorite Pizzeria in Firenze” says the Dude of Food

If you are hungry and need a slice of the best pizza in Firenze, then get yourself over to Pizzeria del Duomo next to the Duomo church. They have tables out front in the plaza to sit and enjoy your slices. Be sure to try the meatball pizza.

  The delicious wine comes from local vineyards that produce some excellent flavors.  The homemade gelato is delicious and kid approved.
