Dinner is ready and waiting, so make yourself at home in the dining room and savor an aperitif while your host brings the first course to the table.
The dishes served throughout your five-course Tuscan feast will vary according to seasonality and what the local market has available that day. Rest assured, whatever you eat is guaranteed to be a homemade specialty and typical of the region. Wine is not included, but you'll be able to buy some from your host, should you want it to complement your meal.
As you eat with your host, chat, relax and enjoy the feeling of being ‘at home’ in Florence. Find out the secrets of home-cooking in Tuscany and learn about the dishes' origins and history.
