Surely a must to visit market in Florence! Downstairs the market , you can find some of the finest ingredients. Upstairs the restaurants . Find here Lampredotto, Arancini , Gelato , Cannolis and pizza !

Dave Chu

The truffle counter up at the second level food court is a must try. Although it's a food court but probably the best risotto I have ever had. Thy don't cheap out on the fresh truffle neither.

Tamara Zabihi

The upper level is more of the food court and if you're craving for pizza , definitely get the Margherita here! You will not be disappointed.

Paula Zalewska

Pasta fresca from the ground floor is heavenly. For only 5€ you get fresh and perfectly cooked pasti ripieni or gnocchi . First floor is expensive and I had no luck with finding good food

Daniel Bauer

Great stores with Italian products ,good restaurants and bars under one roof.. must a visit place in Florence ????

Alberto Da Costa Trigo

Great place to have Italian food in Firenze. Upstairs you find a variety of restaurants and downstairs you'll find a nice market . Don't forget to try the capuccino upstairs !!

Karla MuC

I loved this place!!! In the morning you can find fruit , coffee and everything you need to Cook Italian food . During the afternoon, you must try the gourmet options with a glass of wine .

Cris M

Fresh fruits , vegetable , grocery market stalls on the first floor , 2nd floor is like a food court with 2 bars in the middle serving caffe, beer , wine , and non-alcoholic drinks. So much food!

Paul Sarkissian

Best food court in the world seriously! Incredible choice of food from pizza to pasta , sandwiches , ice cream ,...And It's open until midnight! Out of this world.

Konstantinos Mallis

The Mercado Centrale is like a little food court , but they have amazing steaks and cheap (but delicious) wine , and the most amazing, fragrant truffle pasta Read more

Jane Timm

So you went to Italy and hit the food court , your family might ask. DAMN STRAIGHT should be your answer because this place is delicious. Flag down servers for perfect negronis . They are a must.

Daniel Bauer

Place to find Traditional Italian food as well as modern world cuisines????

Pizza Napoli, the pork sandwich on the corner near the stairwell at I Tramezzini was amazing. €4 Prosecco with a generous pour make this the perfect stop.

Raluca Munteanu

The Mercato is always a good idea. Such a nice vibe and soooo many options to choose from, decisions don’t come in handy. This time we ate from the wood oven pizza place from upstairs . Awesome!

ブルーノ

What a nice way to update an old market ! In the heart of town , is the perfect place to grab some great food and wine , choosing from the best things Italy has to offer. There are also cooking classes !

Olivia Ward

Fantastic new upstairs area to the market . Such a great atmosphere as I think the locals go there, fresh food and good variety. Free wifi too. Beautiful easter displays

Ashley Dando

Great upstairs food court with lots of local foods and drinks. Easy and cheap although feels very touristy

Kaitlin Martineau

So many restaurants to try up too, and vendor stalls in the lower section. Be careful, the vendors aren't there on Sunday - learned the hard way! definitely try a local favorite: Lamprodotto

Carolina Larrain

Unmissable! Great place, fun street market outside for gifts . The food market itself is a chic market , remodeled with taste and a great offer of cool and tasty dishes. Mix of locals and tourists ;)

Maciej Małysz

Great food market with wide selection of Italian places (like pasta with fresh truffles , sandwich with cow's stomach or more traditional pizzas ). Lively , with different price levels (5-40 Eur)

Avin Narasimhan

Head to the top floor and grab a few things from the various food stalls . Highly recommend a square slice and some arincini (+ birra alla spinna)

Alex G

One of the best coffee is Florence here. Also good to hand put with wine and snacks , or a full diner , if you like the format.

Keri-Lee Beasley

Food lovers, unite! Bottom floor is full of cheeses , fresh meat and charcuterie . Head upstairs for a fab meal for lunch . Wash it down with a glass of Prosecco .

Quirky and delicious - so many Italian delicacies, make sure you have a full browse before committing as the whole place is worth a try! Great place for lunch , close to the main attractions .

Favourite place to go out and eat in Florence. Like a high end food court . Good to come with the family cause everyone will find something to eat. Additionally great vibe!!!

Marwan Q

Beautiful food on xmas even although only the 1st floor is open.. ground floor is close ... but if you have the chance do go there and take back home the quality italian produce

Rost Dan

The food court on the market is a wonderful place to have dinner . Locals go there. No chain restaurants . When you get your food the staff will nicely ask if you need drinks and serve to your table.

Murat

Centrally located in OldTown. Very big with small kiosks for meat, wine , vegetables , and many more food options. Some serve food to eat as well . You can find a lot.

Jamie Smith

The fresh pasta was probably the best I’ve ever had. Order the spinach & ricotta ravioli with Ragu and it’ll blow your mind

Emel Bayraktar

You can shop, eat and buy gifts here. The ground floor is like a market and in the first floor , you can sit if you want while you are enjoying your meals or drinks.

Kristina

Go directly to the 2nd floor, head straight to the truffle counter and get the truffle risotto . Worth the price, one of the best truffle dishes we had in Florence!!

Phillip Birtcher

The food court has so many great options for lunch . The first floor has a great selection of meat, cheese , fruits , and vegetables .

Absolutely love Florence's central market . Very old fashioned with excellent produce. The food court is great, some of the better food I had in Italy. Get the focaccia !

Mafe Sotillo Lairet

This place is AWESOME! We had the tartare tartufo nero in il Tartufo and the florentina in il Ristorante. Delicious!!

Ana Flávia Baú Carneiro

I loved it! Good food for fair prices and the service is great. It stays open until 12pm, great for a late meal with some wine and delicious local food!

Maria Antoniou

At the first floor it’s the market , where you can find anything topical you would like to shop. Definitely go upstairs and taste arancine from Sicily(beef or ham )! Yummy!

John Quist

Nice foodcourt good for food in Florence. They have antipasti , pasta , wine , risotto , pizza , meat, fish and all kind of bites.. Just visit and enjoy!

Walk around the ground floor for an authentic smell of Florentine ingredients. There are some good places to eat down there but upstairs there's even more, Italian speciality and sushi .

Biliana Rousseva

What an enchanting place! Add the typical kindness of la gente fiorentina and visiting it becomes an overall experience of sight, taste and great emotions.

Farmers market was closed on Sun. There’s a food hall upstairs w/lots of food stalls . Good but a little expensive . Watch out for pickpockets as you wind your way through the leather market .
