Wonderful wine list and a local favorite.

I Latini

Via dei Palchetti, 6r

39 055 210916
From Fodors.com:  "This may be the
noisiest, most crowded trattoria in
Florence.  It's also a fun place to go
precisely because it is so lively."

Destination of the Week


A visit to TUSCAView of Firenze (Florence)NY . . .

No website description can do Tuscany justice . . .just as one visit will prove to be only enough to whet your appetite for more.

 

Firenze - Florence - is the grand gateway to Tuscany .  

 

Magnificent is the only word to adequately describe the concentration of art and artistry.   From Michelangelo's David to the renowned collection of the Uffizi Gallery; from Brunelleschi's dome of San Lorenzo (The Duomo) to the stunning frescos at Santa Maria Novella, you are surrounded by extraordinary creativity.

  Inside Giovanna's Ristorante

Within this living gallery is a modern, very cosmopolitan city.   It is home to Ferragamo, the jewelry shops that line the Ponte Vecchio trading in gold and silver for hundreds of years and the leather factories turning out shoes, bags and coats unmatched in quality anywhere.

 

And then there is the food and wine of Tuscany .

 

So here are a few suggestions that will let you capture it all as you begin your exploration of Tuscany with The Wine Experience.
