Food in Florence

I'm a little late with starting my food blog, but better late than never. I'm in Rome now, but just finished spending 2 weeks in Florence. It was the most beautiful place I've ever been and I fell in love with it immediately. One of the best parts of Florence was the FOOD. Here it is....

My first day of school, Marie, Petra, Mary, and I went to this cute outdoor restaurant next door and I got this delicious pasta. I couldn't tell you what is in it, but it was delectable. 

One of our first meals in Florence was at this little restaurant where they brought us tons and tons of food. It's one of the few times I've eaten meat while here!

Two words: Gusta Pizza. Honestly, this margherita pizza is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my entire life. The crust was thin and flaky. The mozzarella was think and creamy. And there was a certain sweetness to the sauce that I wish I could emulate. Favorite food ever. 

O'Vesuvio's....AKA Jersey Shore Pizza. Margherita plus artichokes. Very good and lovely, but it doesn't hold a candle to Gusta. 

More Gusta. This is the Caprese pizza, and when I had it alone, it was incredible, but when Marie and I shared our pizzas and split them, the margherita was 230992348 times better.

Marie and I walked forever to get to Gusta Pizza for the last time before we left for Rome. We cried a little and sulked, but it was good. One day we'll be back. Big Table, round 2. 

My best friend Julie told me everywhere that I needed to eat (she is the one who told me about Gusta. I owe her my life.). MJ and I searched for what seemed like hours until we finally found Noe, a little sandwich shop. We got a turkey and brie panini. YUM.
