You can have a good coctail in the evening in the little hidden square in just 2 steps to the Ponte Vecchio.
Another interesting thing they have a little market of different old objects. Even the chair you would be sitting at you can buy! Could be interesting for the ones who collect stuff from flea markets.

You can enjoy high-quality, freshly made gelato in a variety of portion sizes (from just a small cup to a huge, dare-you-to-finish-it cone). It's consistently super-smooth and the choices cover a wide range of tastes—think strawberry and pear or stracciatella (vanilla with chocolate streaks) and pistachio.

For the sights, smells, & sounds, not to mention the shopping! It's the perfect place to stop in for a change of scenery when you tire of Renaissance paintings and churches. If you're staying in an apartment and want to cook dinner in one night, this is where you should shop! But you can also grab a quick sandwich for lunch or any number of snacks.

Osteria Santo Spirito is a fabulous place to stop when hunger hits and you realize you haven't made dinner reservations—but you want something more special than a sandwich. The prices are some of the fairest in the city center, considering the generous portion sizes. Though it can feel slightly touristy, it's most definitely not a "trap."

Part dive-bar, part greasy-spoon-with-an-Italian-twist, Mostodolce makes an impression. There's a variety of hamburgers worth sampling, but you can also enjoy more Italian tastes like fritto misto (a great big delicious mix of fried vegetables) and coccoli (fried dough). There's not much Florentine fare, but you'll find a lot of Florentine people!

Prices are incredibly fair and honest for the area, plus the food is some of the simplest and most delicious in the neighborhood. Stay upstairs and have a sandwich, or head downstairs to dine a bit more leisurely. Go for the salty sides like roasted potatoes and pair them with a plate of porchetta and house red wine.

Gelateria La Carraia

Apart from the unbeatable value, the variety, and the fact that it's always flooded with locals, Carraia is worth a visit because you can enjoy your cone out on the picturesque bridge of the same name. While you're slurping to your heart's content, you can take in the breathtaking cityscape without being trampled by fellow travelers.

The buffet during aperitivo time is a total steal! Even just buying a 3 euro beer, you'll have access to a buffet that usually includes fresh salads, a couple of different pasta dishes and even seafood (mussels make a regular appearance here). The wine list is extensive yet inexpensive and includes both Italian and international choices.

If your sweet tooth strikes while you're around the edges of the Sant'Ambrogio neighborhood, make your way toward piazza Beccaria and grab something from this place—it's sure to satisfy. Beyond miniature pies and lemon tarts, they've also got cream or chocolate-filled cornetti for a decadent breakfast (wash them down with some espresso).

On the most basic level, it's just a really cool building where it's easy to feel at home. It's two stories with a hidden little loft area off to the side as well. They've got an extensive selection of books (mostly on music and radical political movements) that you can leaf through for fun or purchase. Expect live music most nights of the week.

In warm weather, it's fun to sit out on the vibrant Via San Gallo and watch the world go by while you sip on a mojito, Negroni or a fun fruity concoction. It's a fantastic choice for groups, particularly if you've got picky eaters—on the unbelievably ample buffet there's bound to be an option for everyone!

This is a favorite lunch spot among savvy locals, budget travelers and students. At lunch, it's easy to overspend and still go hungry, but here you won't! Take advantage of table service (inside or out) at a slightly increased price, or take your panino into the square and it enjoy it on one of the benches or at the central fountain.

Visit it for a good handmade ice cream or fresh smoothes with some fruits. Better then a hot pasta during the summer day. Then you can eat it close to the arno and have a bit of fresh air.

This is lunch-on-the-go done right! Pasta and salad are typically served in plastic containers, but the unbelievably cheap pizza steals the show: you'll only need a slice or two since the crust is made from deliciously salty "schiacciata" bread, a Tuscan specialty. Post-pizza, pick up a pistachio cookie or grab a gift bag of candies as a souvenir.
