Mercato Centrale: "Throw Together A Picnic" Florence Restaurant Tip by RoscoeGregg

This is the mother oa all indoor food markets. It is packed to the gills with all kinds of great food.

It is the perfect place to pick up every thing that you need for a fabulous picnic. This is a nice break from restaurants. I highly recommend it.

Down stairs is meat, cheese, pasta and bread. Upstairs is produce.

There is a park that is perfect for your picnic and people watching nearby. Just A few hundred feet north the Piazza dell'Indipendenza

Favorite Dish: This is a great chance to branch out and try something unavalible at home. Great cured meats and bread are my favorite
