   Your Private Guide will show you Old Town highlights such as the bustling Piazza della Repubblica, The Baptistery of St John, and the landmark 1200s Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. You will have a full course meal at a popular restaurant and a sweet dessert at a traditional patissiere. On the menu you will find original dishes from Italy and the region of Tuscany, such as the famous Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine steak). The meal will also include a soup and antipasto (Italian appetizers) such as Crostini or Parmesan cheese. For a dessert we recommend Schiacciata Alla Fiorentina (Florentine white flatbread cake) or Gelato. Of course, you must also learn about Italian coffee! We will serve a cup of authentic Italian coffee (or tea if you prefer) and a soda drink. Italy is of course famous for pasta, and Florence is the best place to try the regional dish Pappardelle al Cinghiale (long, wide, flat pasta usually paired with a heavy sauce).
