One of the best ways to experience Tuscany like a local is through its cuisine. Sample traditional dishes such as ribollita, a hearty vegetable and bread soup, and pappa al pomodoro, a tomato and bread soup. Try the famous bistecca alla fiorentina, a thick-cut T-bone steak grilled to perfection. Don't forget to pair your meal with a glass of Chianti, the region's most famous wine. And for dessert, indulge in cantucci, almond biscuits typically enjoyed with a glass of Vin Santo, a sweet dessert wine. Be sure to visit local markets and trattorias to savor the authentic flavors of Tuscany.
