While Italy is known for many things—its history, its art, and its fashion to name a few—food may be the most notorious and widely-enjoyed element of Italian culture of all. The birthplace of pizza, spaghetti, and cannoli, carbohydrates are central to much of the country’s cuisine. Florence is one of our favorite cities in Italy, and it’s home to some pasta restaurants that we’d argue are worth booking a flight for. Whether you prefer arrabbiata or aglio olio on yours, here are the ones we love most in Firenze.
Angiolino
Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region and this restaurant specializes in Tuscan food, so what better place to visit for some authentic Tuscan pasta dishes? Their most popular pasta is served with a wild boar ragu.
Osteria del Proconsolo
Over 50 years in the pasta business is sure to teach you something, and this restaurant is proof of that. They opened their doors in 1969 and have been serving locals and tourists with authentic Italian pasta ever since. We love the tagliatelle, but you really can’t go wrong with anything in this place.
Tamero Pasta Bar
One of the best places in Florence for both pizza and pasta, Tamero is a don’t-miss for anyone who visits the city. They have all of the classic dishes you know and love and the dining room is decorated in a fun, industrial style.
