Mercato Centrale, Florence

All the popular Italian dishes and food in one location. Well priced and reasonably fast service. We got oven baked pizza, pasta, chicken skewers and seafood dishes. All well seasoned and authentic. Only issue is that it is a small area with limited seating. So, it is advisable to hold seats if you come as a group and have fellow travellers go order food while others wait. Place gets really packed during lunch time, so plan to go before 12 noon or after 2pm.

A must-visit for all tourists to Florence. This is a famous market where you can buy many food items and specialty products on the main floor and then go upstairs where there are a lot of fantastic places to eat. It has a great vibe and always busy. There is parking underground that is quite convenient. Go! You won't be disappointed.

We loved this market! We visited both this one and San Lorenzo, however, we found this to be more diverse and much larger. We got pasta at a small stand where you could mix and match different noodles and sauces, and it was shockingly delicious! The best 5 Euro meal ever! Highly recommend!

Crowds place with a market on ground floor and fast-food on the 1st floor. All types of food-to-go one can imagine. After successful purchase visitor have to make few circles around food court to find a spot to sit.

And absolutely fantastic place to spend an afternoon. We sampled food from so many of the vendors, we couldn’t keep track! Everything was tasty, fresh, and something I would go back for again! We went on a Sunday afternoon, so it was very crowded! Since we had two little ones with us, we really wanted to sit down. It was definitely hard to find a table, so once we found one, we staked it out!
