Sorry, no youth under 17 on Join-in Group tours. Please consider booking a Private tour if traveling with youth guests under 17.

Please note that dinner crawls that fall on holidays like Easter and Christmas Day are priced accordingly and displayed at check-out.

Wine pairings are default and cocktails arranged ONLY upon mention during booking for PRIVATE dinner crawls. Light snacks traditional to Italian Aperitivo will be included (i.e. farmstead cheeses/meats and savory finger foods.) Pasta type included on the tour will depend on season and chef's selection. 

The group tour menu is a set menu and we are limited in how we can modify for group outings. If you have severe limitations, we suggest you to book a PRIVATE tour and we work together to customize the menu.

This food tour is not ideal for picky eaters, diagnosed celiacs, vegans or those squeamish about raw meat. Unless you have a true medical or dietary restriction- we ar unable to make any modifications or substitutions especially on shared group dinner crawl formats as to respect both local culture, our guides and other guests on the shared tour. Thank you for understanding and being an open-minded eater!

If you are gluten-sensitive and cross contamination is not an issue, we can arrange an alternative at the pasta stop such as a vegetable-based dish for GROUP dining crawl bookings.

We are unable to arrange gluten-free pasta or risotto for participants who book a GROUP tour, but instead can arrange for PRIVATE dinner crawls. Please contact us before booking a GROUP ticket if you have concerns about substitutions- grazie mille!

During holiday periods (i.e. Easter, NYE, Christmas, etc) we offer seasonal dinner experiences.

The crawl will still follow the same progressive format, however the stops will procure more holiday-themed dishes with sommelier-selected wines led by a food historian guide to explain Italian holiday culinary traditions.

2026: We charge a premium rate for tickets for various holiday dates.

For NYE Dec 31st, please book our Private Food Lover’s & Aperitivo Combo Tour which will involve visiting bakeries and cafes for local specialties as well as wine tasting/cocktails.

Please note: we offer a small group progressive dining crawl on December 25th Christmas Day at a premium rate, you can book via “Book Experience” now button

Please note the bistecca fiorentina, i.e. T-Bone, is served rare per local tradition and requires at least a group of 4. We will not request the steak to be cooked more as the meat is traditionally prepared rare. For groups less than 4, you’ll have sliced steak tagliata in lieu of the T-Bone

As this is a shared tour format, we have a set menu with allocated amounts of beverages which we budget for at least 3 standard servings to accompany the food. This is a cultural food & drink tour that has been planned carefully.

If you’d like to have additional wines, time may not permit due to the shared format and a schedule to respect to our partner stops. If you’d like a curated wine focus, more flexibility in timing, etc we suggest considering booking a PRIVATE experience so we can bespoke the evening to your wishes.

The dinner crawl requires a minimum of 4 participants in order to include the family-style steak experience (it weighs a minimum 1 kilo!) and in the rare case in which our minimum is not met we will contact you with alternative options (i.e. meat substitution, reschedule, etc) with ample notice.

Group crawls have limited wriggle room as we follow a standard menu. We can easily adapt to vegetarians as long as they aren’t off by others eating steak. We can accommodate virtually any food lifestyle, especially for private tour bookings. Just let us know how we can help.

If you are a group larger than 8 OR if you would like to start later or earlier than the times listed- please send an inquiry via “Request Private Experience” button for a precise quote and inclusions. Otherwise, please book directly using our ticketing system via “Book Experience” button.

Cost is all inclusive of your specialized host (4 hours of service/labor), EU conversions (note we charge in USD), table cover fees, all dishes & foods at each stop, beverages (3 total) and gelato (4 tasting stops total).

Tours that fall on a national holiday will show a higher cost at check-out as to cover extra labor in conducting activities on holidays. If you notice a difference in listed pricing, you can assume it has to do with the date being associated with a holiday. Grazie!

For starters, our Progressive Dining Crawl is Florence’s original evening tour focused on restaurant hopping between courses and wine. 11+ years and counting!

All stops are selected by a published food writer who rates and reviews restaurants for trusted publications.

Our menus are carefully studied and decided between our team of experts.

As consumers ourselves, we appreciate that there’s something for everyone and every budget.

While we can’t speak for other providers, we pride ourselves on our long-standing 5-star reputation, the quality of the foods and wine we include, selecting only what we deem to be representative (and respectful) to the local culture and the value of sticking to a small group format (no more than 8) for our public culinary walking tours.

Our group dinner crawl typically departs off Via Tornabuoni (10 min walk from the Florence central train station/ 5 min walk from Piazza della Repubblica). Private tours may be subject to change based on clients’ preferences and subsequent customizations to the itinerary. Reach out to us for more information.

In order to maintain the element of surprise, we only provide information to confirmed guests. Rest assured that restaurants are overseen for quality, level and hand-picked by our trustworthy team. Upon booking, we are happy to provide exact names so you don’t overlap with your other restaurant bookings.
