Florence Black Book

Cozy trattorias and the best bistecca; rooms (some affordable!) with outstanding views; and an army of artisans for linens, sandals, and leather…from our friends who truly know the Tuscan capital

I’ve been coming here regularly since I was 18, when I met a boy from Florence and became close with his family. For the last several years, I’ve been visiting twice a year for the menswear trade show, Pitti Uomo. I just spent a week there and received so many messages asking for my list, I reached out to my friends who are locals, or know the city incredibly well, and asked them for their favorites. I’m so excited to return this June armed with all of their incredible suggestions.
