The biggest food market in old town Florence, located in San Lorenzo district, an area also famous for leather shops. At the Mercato Central you can buy food at the stands on the ground floor, or stop for lunch or dinner in the food court area upstairs. I would recommend this place because there's nothing similar in town.

The Schiacciata is a typical florentine bread which is commonly use for delicious sandwiches. It's filled with tuscan ham or salami, local cheeses, vegetables and saouces, perfect with a glass of red wine. It's good, it's cheap and it's truly tuscan. Schiacciavino is one of the best place to try, also because the staff is very nice.
