The best appetites made by shopping

After the Duomo climb, we hit up Massimo Leather, so I could introduce Holly and Ellen to my friend Massimo who I found 2 years ago when Sydney and I were on our Mediterranean cruise. He was a delight as always, and we all ended up with beautiful handbags and jackets.

We worked up such an appetite, and found a restaurant just off the Piazza San Lorenzo and had a feast. Afterwards, Sydney and Ellen walked to the Fiorentino Stadium to buy tickets for the game and Holly and I roamed the city trying to find the Leather School off the Piazza Santa Croce.

All that walking gave us an appetite for some Florentine Steak not far from the apartment. We remembered this man who wanted us to eat there and he was so welcoming, we decided to come back this evening.

They were delighted to have us in for dinner where we had tagliatelle porcini pasta, spicy spaghetti, grilled vegetables, fried artichokes, and the tomahawk steak. We finished off dinner with a tiramisu.Läs mer
