Carduccio - Firenze

We'd finished a walking tour and ended up in this area near the Pitti palace. The Sunday market was on and all we wanted in the hot weather was something that we would call clean and light. We ventured down a couple of streets and luckily found Carduccio's. It couldn't have been more perfect on this afternoon. Many smoothies, bowls and other dishes. Everything fresh here and presented nicely. We sat just in the entrance little table watching people walk by and getting a lovely breeze as well to cool us down after our long walking tour. I would highly recommend this as a step away from your pizza and panini type sandwiches. our lunch cost us 29.30 euro.

Lovely lunch here 2 of the party had ‘bowls’ and the third had an avocado sandwich. Really fresh and tasty food in a very pleasant environment. Recommended!

Stopped to get a “to go” salad for a picnic. Tiny little place with a few tables and outside back table—so charming. They fixed a perfect salad and were busy arranging fresh flowers from a nearby market when we left. Very special-a perfect Tuscany cafe.

I’ve been here twice now and will definitely go back. It’s got a great vibe and the food has been fantastic. The first time I ordered an energy smoothie and it actually gave me energy. I went back a couple of days later to get the same thing but when I saw the zucchini salad being prepared for another customer I changed my order. So good and good for you. It’s a great healthy alternative to all the pizza and pasta in Florence. I would eat here every day if it weren’t so expensive. The prices are comparable to current US restaurant prices and much more expensive than average Italian prices. But it’s all organic and you should expect to pay more. So I’ll go every other day! If you’re looking for tasty healthy food in Florence, this is where to find it.

We took a lunch as an alternative to the typical Italian restaurants. Not disappointed. Small but cosy. Great tastes in food and drinks. Honest prices.
