Head to Santino for wine, but Il Santo is <em>the <\/em>spot for dinner. It\u2019s charming, chic and great fun, I particularly love eating at the tables set out in the street, especially in the warmer months. The service is impeccable and the food is sublime. The menu alters, but standout dishes for me on recent visits have been marinated tuna, chicken liver terrine and a sour cherry pie with pistachio cream. It\u2019s a special spot that pairs both creative experimentation and continuity, in such a way that you know that every experience will be different from the last, yet you can still be sure your visit will be nothing less than remarkable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Marinated-Tuna-at-Il-Santo-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Marinated-Tuna-at-Il-Santo-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Marinated-Tuna-at-Il-Santo-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Marinated-Tuna-at-Il-Santo-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Marinated-Tuna-at-Il-Santo-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Marinated-Tuna-at-Il-Santo-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Marinated-Tuna-at-Il-Santo-rotated.jpg 1650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lunch at Il Santo.

I was introduced to it by an artist friend in Florence a few weeks back and now always stop by when I\u2019m in the city. What\u2019s best is they serve the most delicious snacks to accompany your aperitivo, these include Nocellera olives, fresh bread with guacamole and tomato salsa.

The historical setting of the Frescobaldi Palace Bridge and breath-taking views anticipate the colourful flavours that await inside. It\u2019s a great place to stop off in between sightseeing at the Uffizi or the Duomo and heading to Santo Spirito for Aperitivo. Black sesame, pistachio and chocolate are all favourites of mine at Santa Trinita, but on a hot day I sometimes opt for a citrus granita, a Sicilian iced desert.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gelateriasantatrinita.it\/en\/index.php\">http:\/\/www.gelateriasantatrinita.it\/en\/index.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>Where to Visit: Uffizi &amp; Santa Maria Novella<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16093 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--1024x1365.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--1367x1823.jpg 1367w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Uffizi--rotated.jpg 1650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ceiling at the Uffizi. Credits Issy Carr<\/p>\n<p>The Uffizi is undoubtedly one of the best museums in the world, renowned for its exceptional collection of Renaissance art. There is a tendency now for visitors to look around only through the screens of their iPhone,\u00a0 so my tip is to shut your phone away and look up &#8211; particularly as the colourful ceilings Uffizi are a highlight. Personal favourites are Hugo van der Goes\u2019 <em>Portinari Triptych<\/em>, Artemesia Gentileschi\u2019s <em>Judith <\/em>and of course Titian\u2019s infamous <em>Venus D\u2019Urbino. <\/em>There\u2019s also a gorgeous roof terrace at Uffizi which is a great place to stop halfway through the gallery for a glass of frizzante. Another favourite spot is Santa Maria Novella, it\u2019s a beautiful church home to emblems of the Florentine Renaissance. For example, Masaccio\u2019s <em>Holy Trinity<\/em> and Domenico Ghirlandaio\u2019s <em>Tournabuoni Chapel<\/em>. Santa Maria del Carmine, Santo Spirito and San Miniato are all churches worth visiting too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16095 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--1024x1365.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--1367x1823.jpg 1367w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ISSY-CARR-Santa-Maria-Novella--rotated.jpg 1650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Santa Maria Novella.

Epoca is great for statement pieces, with a carefully curated selection of bold and brilliant clothing. Clochard was a recent discovery, it\u2019s a small, unassuming little shop with the loveliest owners who allow you to rummage around for the perfect piece. I recently found myself a gorgeous pink silk nightgown there for a reasonable price. Finally, my favourite spot for gifts is the world\u2019s oldest apothecary, the Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy.
