Standout
Florence's oldest market (est. 1873), a genuinely local produce-and-food market in a 19th-century iron-and-glass hall
Florence's most local food market (since 1873), just off Piazza Ghiberti in the Sant'Ambrogio district. Far less touristy than the Mercato Centrale, it's where Florentines shop for fresh produce, meat and cheese, with celebrated street-food stalls like Da Rocco's tavola calda and lampredotto.
The neighborhood
In Sant'Ambrogio, Tuscany. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
