Tuscan cuisine is the local fare, consisting of meat dishes combined with local produce in a variety of styles. Authentic experiences include dining with chefs at their own homes and is quite a unique way to experience both food and local culture within the city. Gelato is famous here and Florence is said to offer the best in the world. Additionally it should be noted that restaurants commonly offer different prices schemes for stand up vs. sit down eating, and ordering fine dining dishes from windows ‘to go’ is not that uncommon in Florence.
