I must confess that I love Italian food, that's for sure. So it was quite a pleasure to be in Tuscany and try so many things. My advise on what you should try at least once when in Italy, specially in Tuscany:
- For carnivores like me: be sure to try a Bistecca a la fiorentina -somehow similar to a T-bone steak, just delicious...
- Actual pizza, though originally from Naples, the ones I tried here were great and very different to what is being sold as pizza in the rest of the world
- For cheese lovers, you must try Pecorino cheese.
- Chianti wines: great with any meal

Para empezar, debo confesar que me encanta la comida italiana. Estar en Toscana fue un placer y no solo por el arte y el paisaje. Mis recomendaciones de lo que hay que probar:
- Para los carnívoros como yo: Bistecca a la fiorentina, deliciosa...
- Pizza de verdad, aunque es original de Nápoles, las que probé aquí no tienen nada que ver con lo que nos venden como pizza en el resto del mundo.- Si os gusta el queso, tenéis que probar el Pecorino.- Los vinos de la región del Chianti, geniales con cualquier comida.
