Our favorite activity during our engagement trip.
Authentic and intimate culinary experience in a beautiful tuscan cottage in the rolling hills of Tuscany. The best cooking class we've ever taken! Thanks to John and Rachel Palladino for the find. Book in advance, this will sell out!
A great place to get a panini and generally less busy than All'Antico Vinaio.
Where we ate the night we got engaged. The restaurant is famous for their truffle menu.
Located nearby the 25h Hotel, their Rigatoni Pomarola e Mozzarella Strascicata is incredible.
Famous wood-fired pizzeria in the Oltrarno area of Florence.
Very popular Panini shop with amazing fresh sandwiches. Highly recommend going early or at an off hour to avoid long lines as they are always busy with tourists.
