There are restaurants with great food.
There are restaurants with great service.
And then there are places that become part of your story.
For a month, I wandered the streets of Florence on my own. I ate at some of the city’s most celebrated restaurants, but somehow I kept coming back here.
Not just for the food, though the steak was unforgettable.
Not just for the wine.
Not just for the beautiful atmosphere.
I came back because every time I walked through the door, I felt welcomed.
As a solo traveler, that matters more than people realize.
What could have been an intimidating experience became one of the highlights of my month in Florence. The kindness, the conversations, the warmth, the feeling that I belonged there, even if only for an evening.
A city becomes special because of its people.
And Cancello di Macci will always be one of the reasons Florence captured my heart.
Until next time. ❤️🇮🇹
