Eataly

San Lorenzo & San Marco


Eataly is a one-stop food shop for everything Tuscan. Peruse beautifully arranged aisles laden with oils, conserved vegetables, pasta, rice, biscuits and so on. There are fresh bakery and deli counters, fridges laden with seemingly every cheese under the Italian sun and a coffee bar with outdoor seating. Many products are local and/or organic; most are by small producers.

Upstairs is a wine cellar with 600 labels, summer terrace and Florentine chef Simone Cipriani's fast and epicurean FAC, serving Italian-inspired street food to go as well as tasty trattoria fare.
