Did you catch our previous video?? We visited the most beautiful hot springs we’ve ever seen here in Italy! Watch here 👉 th-cam.com/video/kpZQ17oqFWo/w-d-xo.html
funny when you joked about the shape of the pasta , but the right pronunciation is pene
i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Alberto Cason instablaster :)
@Kaysen Zion i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Kaysen Zion It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
Florence is an amazing city. I went there three years ago. I went to that market but only until Mario’s that is a block away opened for lunch. Their specialty is Florentine steak and ossobucco. Shared a tiny table with three other people. All food enthusiasts. The couple across from me from NY got the steak. The chef from Japan next to me came all the way from Turin to Florence specifically to get their ossobuco. Which is what I got too. Stellar. Glad you got to experience the specialty of Florence
honestly , don't drink cappuccino after you tried lampredotto e la burrata, Italian people get chills if you do it :D :D :D
li mortacci loro, che schifezza, dopo il cappuccino ho fermato il video.
@@Eitandervishi ormai è il minimo. Meglio che vedere un americano fare colazione con il minestrone di verdure.
@@so_do_mu5498 Se ci pensi, soprattutto in Toscana e altre zone di campagna, la gente faceva colazione proprio così, tanti anni fa. Mica c'era il cappuccino con la brioche.
Is that because cappuccino is not a tradiational italian coffee? Or why?
@@J_B17 because cappuccino is good with sweet food , croissants, cakes, taste don’t match so well with fish , meat or other salt meals
Initial music is from Southern Italy and has culturally nothing to do with Florence. Like an Alabama jingle slapped onto Massachusetts scenery. (no offense to anyone, it s just incongruous.)
Saputella
@@heinzzemke1246 c'ha ragione. Pure a me ha fatto strano
@@stemon83 meglio far finta di niente
These are American your lucky they didn't put Chinese music, at least they got the continent right .
@@ageofechochambers9469 😊
This made me want to go back to Florence so bad! I only got to spend 1 day there. We went there basically just to see David. When we were finished there, we walked down the street and into the Piazza del Duomo. I will never forget it. So big and so beautiful!!
Bravi! I subscribe and love your videos! I'm thrilled to see you in Florence, where my wife and I have lived for five years. Glad you enjoyed Mercato Centrale and all its great food, I think Pank has the best bread in Florence. Also very happy you liked the Bistecca Fiorentina; Tuscans are great meat-eaters and this is the epitome. It's been rainy here lately, but I hope you were still here to enjoy the city today (Monday) when we had a little break. Enjoy the rest of your visit to Florence, Tuscany, and Italy-Ciao!
OMG Cappuccino after a meal! Defiantly America ;P
Yep it is what makes North Americans standout--indulging in milk based espresso drinks after breakfast hours! lol. Ahhh Viva Italia! Siempre Firenze!!!
Yeah, cappuccino is only for breakfast in Italy, although most Italians drink espresso in the morning. Any coffee consumed during the day is usually espresso or a variation, without milk.
Mochiato caldo
Heaven forbid someone have a cappuccino after breakfast. 🤦🏽♀️
Cappuccino with pizza: German...
My favorite place in the world! When I visited Florence 10 years ago, we arrived in a thunderstorm, but after the rain stopped - beautiful! Walking along the Arno River at sunset, with the Ponte Vecchio in the background is magical. Love your series!
Try also visiting Venice, Naples, Rome and Milan.
Venice: The only city to be built ON the sea
Naples: the city of Pizza and mozzarella.
Rome: the capital of Italy and the historical capital of roman empire
Milan: the center of the modern Italy
A beautiful city, an amazing food markets with the best TH-camrs, now that is a successful recipe. Great job as ever guys!
Loved your video! I am from Florence and the Central Market is amazing!
The only point is that Bistacca alla Fiorentina is not what you had! It is Bistecca, but in order to be Bistecca alla Fiorentina it must be at least 1.5 kilograms and it must be 4 fingers high. Usually in restaurants they sell what you had, but it usually is for turists.
No critique, it is just to make it clear and do not get misled when you come back to Florence. ☺️
(Volevo scriverlo io 😂)
I add that "bistecca alla fiorentina" is a T-bone, so it aslo has fillet, and the only meat accepted is "chianina" (a tuscany breed of cow).
But don't worry, most of italians donesn't know these things.
(Sorry for my english and thanks for the video)
We do love a bit of Florence! Such a beautiful city, thanks for showing us guys! 😍
How wonderful to be young and free to travel the world.
You can travel the world at any age!!
Any age yes but not if in full-time work.
@@briane5706 go for 9 days to Rome, get an Airbnb. You can do it! :)
I just came back from Florence, a citytrip with my classmates. Seeing the market place makes me so jealous!! I was so in love with the pasta one of the market stalls served downstairs. Defenitely check out some of the churches and museums in the city (Duomo, Baptisterium, Uffizi, Bargello, San Marco, etc.) Florence Renaissance art is definetly unforgettable. ✨
i had the steak in florence and tbh i could have eaten the whole thing to myself, it isnt that filling and it goes down fast and easy, i had Chianina the traditional local cow and paid 70 but it was amazing!
I like that you two are adventurous when it comes to food and try things that others may shy away from
Tripe is NOT intestines. It is the lining of the stomach. It looks like honeycomb until it is cut up and cooked. Just wanted to point that out
Tastes like rubber!!
@@maudeneyarber9997 Not alla Vicentina!!!
That’s no better! 🤢
intestines in roman cuisine is pajada
I run a trip to Italy every year and the market is one of my favourite places. There's a small restaurant beside the market that does the steak, and it's even better than the Market!
We're hooked on Italy atm! Just got back from the Tuscany region and explored the outdoor thermal baths! 😍
Can you remember the name of the restaurant please, thanks. We are going to Florence soon.
@@chivarienyamhandu4512 Osteria dell'osso firenze. osteriadellosso.it/
I was searching for some tips for our upcoming Venice trip, but you both are so charismatic and sweet that I watched all of your videos from Italy. Lovely greetings from Germany
I know you briefly mentioned San Gimignano in one of these new Italian videos and I would recommend it if you ever return; I visited on a couple of occasions on coach trips - it's a nice place to visit for a morning/afternoon and there are some great views and loads of towers to climb! PS On my first visit to Florence we climbed to the top of the Duomo - arriving out of breath; shamed to find a group of seniors up there looking quite composed and not at all weary! :)
We loved San Gimignano! The best dinner we had in Italy was at Fattorio Poggio Alloro family farm. If you ever get the chance you should go there. Love the Italian steak.
Enjoying your travels through my favorite country. Can’t wait to see where you go next. Don’t miss the Cinque Terre!
Our daughter studied their for 4 months in college! Thanks for the fabulous video! We loved the hot springs video too! Safe travels!! Looks fabulous!
That steak looked fantastic.
That steak! 😍 Your Italy videos keep getting added to my travel goals. 🤣
I'm going to have to convince my husband we need a trip just to Italy after our Eurail trip. ❤
My grandmother cooked tripe in sauce. It was pure white. Delicious. Omg.
Wow, great video guys, everything on the market looked delicious. Mouth is watering after seeing that steak...
I visited the steak place back Four years ago, it was absolutely delicious it was a real treat and one of my best memories of Florence
Can you please tell me the name of this steak place?
Finally! You are somewhere I have been. I LOVE FLORENCE!
oh god i love steak!! that guys looked frickin AWESOME!! :) loads of love from v UK!! vids are amazing!
So much fresh produce 😍😍🤤 the good looks amazing
50 Euro for a prime quality red beef for 2 persons is not that bad at all! Looks delicious!!!
Mercato Centrale is a tourist food Disneyland. You want the real experience go to the Altrarno and eat at a workingman's trattoria. Florentines are historically frugal and lampredotto and fegatini are tributes. To bad they dont know the back story on any of these foods.
Bryce Bertolino Could you please recommend some trattorias in Oltarno?
Cool video adventurers! I like the biscetta steak! It looks so good! Those steaks are always huge. That market looked really fun. The buildings there are so cool! 🥩🍻🍺🚬
Tripe is the lining of the stomach not intestine but great video I love that market closest thing in LA is Eataly market on the West side
Your editing is phenomenal!
Guys! You missed something at Mercato Centrale! The pizza! That pizza they freshly bake for you on the woodfire will probably be the best pizza you will ever eat in your life. It is napolitan style and the dough is....my god the dough....is just extraordinarily!
and the winner is.... Cappuccino AFTER lunch xDD
I don't think I've had a prime ribeye or something like that in over 5 years. But that Bistecca alla Fiorentina looked absolutely incredible.
I've had a couple of great trips to Florence and then done coach/train day trips to Siena, Pisa or Lucca (as I don't drive). I was last there for my 40th around the same time of year as you were there and although the weather was mostly good it rained, as it did for you, on my actual birthday; in the end I spent most of the day in a bar with friends! :)
Thank you so much for this great content...I am really enjoying your Italy videos, they're giving me great suggestions and tips for my upcoming trip, best wishes from Australia ❤
Loving that Mozzarella with Stracciatella! Looks delicious! Also that bread looks absolutely fabulous! Would have gone perfectly with the steak. I'm with Eric, I prefer it medium!
That is called burrata .
Great video. I was there 10 days ago, except for Da Nervone where half of the customers where locals and the prices are reasonable, the market seemed like a tourist trap to me, most of the visitors didn’t speak any Italian and the prices are higher than other places. I found better products and prices at local Conads and Coops or at the market on the other side of the historic center. You are right, the bistecca alla fiorentina is one of the best steaks I ever had as well. You didn’t try the trippa alla fiorentina, the bollito or the bombolone, 3 delicious local foods.
I just had the Bisteca in May when I was in Florence....it was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Watching you guys eat it made my mouth water all over again. I used our leftovers in a frittata I made the next morning 😛
Ma mi potevi avvertire... Sarei stato un'ottima guida!!! Baci da Firenze!!!
Your food and exploration videos always stir up the travel bug! Adding these to my list to try ☺️ Thanks, guys!
FOOD HEAVEN
You guys are so much more adventurous with your food and meals than I am! But I would definitely be all over the cheese 🧀! I love that stuff! I’m sorry it was raining but hopefully you made a hearty warm meal from the items you got at the markets!! Looking forward to more 🥰
Heading to Florence in a few weeks time.... thinking of trying steaks @ Trattoria Dall Oste & Trattoria Za Za. Someone recommended Trattoria 13 Gobbi.... so many options
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful!
Next time you are in Florence, go to Cuattro Lioni on the Otro Arno side of Florence. They have the best Pear Ravioli and some great mid-level Tuscan wines. Incredible city! Great job guys!
Yes, I had the steak, actually bigger and I ate it all by myself! My father in law had one too.
The cheese was burrata. The outer shell is mozzarella and it is filled with a stracciatella cream mixture or ricotta depending on who makes it. One of my favorites!!
Another great video, I love the food vids. To bad the weather sucked so you could not explore more. Loving this series
Burrata is just fresh mozzarella, hand-formed into a cup shape, filled with heavy cream, and then sealed up with the cream inside the ball of fresh mozzarella. The longer it sits, the more the cream turns to cheese, and eventually, it would become fresh mozzarella all the way through. Needless to say, it doesn't ship well.
The way you guys had it, with the tomato and basil salad underneath, and a variety of delicious cured meats, is the perfect way to eat it. The only other things you could want are some nice Italian bread, a little extra virgin olive oil and a little aged balsamic vinegar in which to dip the bread. Perhaps a little piece of honeycomb, a bit of currant jam or quince paste for a bit of a sweet counterpoint. Top it off with a rich and flavorful glass of jammy red wine, and, if you died after a meal like that, you'd die a happy person.
Oh that mozzarella!! Looks so delicious. Great place to try out different foods
Their vlogs make me sooooo hungry!! ahahah x
TheTravelCrush yes right?!! 😀
@@CosmoTrav TOTALLY!! Off to order pizza right now ahahhahaha
TheTravelCrush 😂😂 enjoy!
burrata. 10 times better than mozzarella. ;) :D
Thanks for posting this video. I’m in Florence at the moment and cannot wait to try these delicious food that you had!
You guys brought back so many memories....we have been to Florence 2 times...both times for anniversaries! Loved Mercado Centrale - thanks for sharing! Next time DO NOT MISS the Baptismal outside the Dumo - it will blow you away!
I was living in Florence Italy the past 6 or so months and the whole time I was hoping id bump into you guys. I traveled a ton and I tried my hardest to give myself better odds of running into you guys and the moment I move back to the states you guy go to Florence hahahah im sad but I still love the video :')
me too, for 2 months literally just left to asia, but there uploads are not live so i was probably there when they were but missed them. though i probably wouldnt have gone up to them in i did see them cause im just a stranger to them lol. funny a lot of people came up to me and asked for my youtube channel because i had my camera. everyones on the youtube game now lol
Killing it guys. I’m on a proper EA kick at the moment. Went right back to the very start and I’m working my way though. SO much travel inspiration. We’re looking at going to the Azores so if you ever end up there I will be watching intently!
TOTALLY agree!! I've just made a cuppa tea and I'm getting ready to binge watch for the evening! I LOVE THEM!!
TheTravelCrush sounds like a solid evening you’ve got going on there 👍
@@chazbarnes3221 If by solid evening you mean granny night then you'd be correct! ahahaha
Thanks Chaz! Good luck though, some of those early videos are pretty rough 😅 Just looked up Azores, looks amazing! 😍
TheTravelCrush hehe nothing wrong with a granny evening. I might pop a blanket on and do the same in fairness!
Raining here today, eating sorbet after lunch and watching you two on a good journey. Perfect 👌
Always love your uploads and this was no exception!
AHHHHHHH honestly these videos are making me want to hop on a flight straight over to Italy!! This looks just dreamy!! Have you been to the Scottish Highlands? I'm just back from vlogging there and I think you'd LOVE IT!!! Lots of love,
Sam x
TheTravelCrush Hi i have just started a travel channel. Do you want to check it out 😇?
Loved the bicycle juicer LOL 😆
Good on you for trying the tripe. I've not been to a country that eats it, but I have promised myself that I'll try it.
Penici pasta; brilliant! And we gotta get a JuicyRide! Once again, you guys put out a great, funny, informative video. Can’t wait to go to Florence, and also maybe one day cross paths with you two! Thanks for continuing to share your adventures!
Aww
😘 Miss Florence Italy.
😘 😘 😘 Il mangiare sono molto buono 😋
We were just there last month. We had been a few years ago, but the upstairs wasn’t built out or we didn’t see it. I had such amazing wine a super Tuscan that was amazing. Those rice balls were actually very good. I could t do the tripe however.
you deserve more views
I was sad to see you guys didn’t get any paninis. The paninis in Florence were probably some of my favorite things I had while I was there. There are also these secret late night pastry shops that are so great!
hi, great quality film, just wondering what camera you are using ?
Allison, you are so descriptive with your foods! So cute!
Oh and if you go in summer make your way up to the Piazza Del Michelangelo to watch the sunset over the Duomo and the Arno river.... magical :D
Watching this as I eat lunch, and the opening made me choke. Hahahah, so worth it
Great video. Will try the steak. What's the name of the market with the leather goods? Thanks
Cappuccino??? Would you eat a bowl of cornflakes for dinner?
Lol soo~ American taste! love it ! 😀
One thing did notice, was so many of the stalls are operated by obviously non locals. I wanted to purchase Tuscan olive oil and was a bit worried I might get oils that were mixed from elsewhere. We did enjoy tasting the different flavored and found the Tuscan one was actually peppery. It was so good. We bought 5 for gifts!
I mremeber I almost had a heart attack when they brought the check ater my bisteca...but it was sooo yummy and I was so eager to eat meat and not pasta that I paid happily for it!
Thank you for sharing, I just subscribed!
Hats off to Eric for trying the tripe (knowing what it is). In the UK 40 years ago, tripe and opinions was common as a meal. Nowadays tripe is only available as pet food. Not sure why.
I absolutely love this channel...the food tours are so exciting. I hope to see more content from Africa after Corona...we have some of the best Tripe recipes here...no doubt you’d love them :)
Just to let you know but the Italians do not have cappuccino after 11,00 in the morning!! Espressos are the thing.
That’s odd, I know plenty that go against this “ rule”.
My .mouth is watering, I smell the cheese, gravy, bread, I'm gaining weight just looking at it omg! Muncha😇
watching this while eating spaghetti...hmmm
Love from karachi 😍😍
You guyz are amazing,😍😍😍
I would watch subscribe to a channel just with Alison's reactions to taking bites of food! Lol
Ooh that bistecca looks amazing! Good investment 😋
If you go back, you need to see David and Venus! Get tickets online before you go. We saw them in 1981, before we became parents. No crowds!
Oh man the music at the start is so perfect I feel like I just need to jump on a plane and go to Italy 😩
That market building looks a lot like the market in Budapest, doesn’t it?
Florence, hometown of the Italian branch of my family. You clearly have excellent taste
I always look forward to watching your videos......seems like every other day. :)
We were there last year in the same market.. and really really enjoyed the lambredottio The soft textured tripe with the crusty loaf was delicious. We were too full to try the steak Florentine and it was way too expensive for our budget. I still dream of the roast porchetta sandwiches... Yumm.. tuscan food and wine... la dolce vita.
Liked just for the opening scene!
YAY HERE KINDA SORTA EARLY, LOVE YOU ERIC AND ALISON!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Eric your Italian accent rocks👍😁
Of course they order cappuccino after the meal LOL
Schiacciata is now my favorite bread, whether plain or with herbs. Mercato Centrale should be a UNESCO heritage site, IMO. :) PanyDory is supposed to have really good schiacciata and cantucci (I'll try it soon), but I walk all the way to Panificio Ghibellina for both those things. OMG. Split the bread, drizzle a bit of good taggiasca olive oil on the cut face and toast it in a pan. Have it with a bit of smoked bufala, some burrata to offset the smokiness, fresh Confanetto cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, good balsamic, sea salt and pepper... It's possibly the best veggie sandwich ever.
Should have got something from that pasta place, when I was in florence I had the pesto pasta from there and it was unbelievable. It was 6 eur and one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten went back one more time that week for the same thing. I have had that pasta on my mind ever since.
I always play food adjective bingo on these food tasting vids. "Flavourful" "juicey" "some of the best (insert food) we've had" BINGO!!! Tuscany looks amazing. 😉
Also “interesting”, but this can mean bad.
