Eat your way through the Market - Wow! What a treat. Kiara not only knew her food but all the history, stories and people behind it! From Cantucci and Vin’santo to Lamprodotto, we tried all the best things il mercato centrale di Firenze had to offer! I was even more impressed with the deep relationships Kiara had with each of the vendors, making us feel like we were getting something extra special because of those relationships - like family!
