Visiting Italy for a week in March. Flying in to Rome and going to see Florence and Venice as well. Anyone have good recommendations in this area of local foods or restaurants? Just figure I’d ask. Thanks in advance.
If you're renting a car expect to get a driving lesson from a society that encourages movement. An offense is your best defense. You'll like the traffic lights there. They're like a christmas tree at a drag strip.
Are you adventurous; if so, this is must lunch or snack while you are in Florence >The Art of Street Food in FlorenceYou can’t say you’ve been to Florence if you don't stop by one of its famous "chioschi" or street food stands where you can buy and taste Florence's street food. Commonly referred to as trippai or lampredottai (literally, the makers of trippa and lampredotto), where you can taste the best of the city's street culinary tradition, a sandwich filled with trippa or lampredotto.

Tripe sandwiches are not to everyone's taste.
I lived in Florence for 5 years, my Sister has lived there for over 40 years, I go there regularly and I like all things Italian (well, almost all) but tripe in any form is the Devil's discharge...
I was born and raised in Italy, and, to me, the best food is served at "Trattorias". Look for Trattoria signs outside. These are small, family operated kitchens with a few tables where local workers, rather than tourists go have lunch. The food is typically homemade, delicious, and quite cheap (Guzzi content!).Side dishes and veggies are usually displayed in glass enclosed cabinets near the entrance, in small quantities, and the menu' of the day with prices, is usually posted on a board written by hand, while first courses (pasta, soups) and meat/fish dishes are prepared after you order.In the largest cities, English is usually no problem, in smaller cities you can get by with a word or two, if language is an issue.
According to the IATA site, Italy recognizes the CDC vaccination card in lieu of a Green health pass.
