Thank you TA for having this in the top 10 in Florence! We made three trips to Il Cantuccio for biscotti, which are the best I have eaten. We bought a large bag to bring home and have been enjoying one every night dipped in some sweet wine. What a treat! Also try their ricciarelli (almond paste cookies from Sienna).... More

Find it as soon as you arrive, so you will enjoy the biscotti during your stay. They make nice packets to take home for friends, as a small gift, typical of Florence.

This is the place for biscuits in Florence we were there several times during our 5 days visit and brought quite some of them back home. The bakery is conveniently located relatively near the main train station. You can taste biscuits there and I am pretty sure you are not going to be disappointed. My favorites were the ones with...

We loved the biscotti! The owner was very spirited. We bought a bag the day we arrived, and then again the day we left. Had we had more room in our suitcase, we would have bought more! We were very excited about the biscotti making classes that we had read about in previous Trip advisor reviews. Sadly, they don't offer... More

I went to this bakery based on the reviews on tripadvisor. Very glad I did! I ended up buying several bags of cookies from here, to bring back home as souvenirs. Turns out these were the most popular gifts! I even purchased several for myself! Everything was tasty and inexpensive! Also, staff was very friendly, and let me sample anything... More

This sweet pasticceria shop is really a precious gem! They produce all the sweets themselves offering a unique and tasty product and a particularly low price. The cantucci and the panforte are really amazing and I wish I bought more stuff to get back to my home country than I did... definitely a must to visit to sample a tasty... More

We stopped by after we left the Duomo. The biscotti was the best i've ever had. We found this place by chance as we were just wondering around sight seeing.. glad we did.

Everything was great! Friendly staff, delicious biscotti, clean bakery. They gave free samples too. We saw a sign for biscotti-making classes but we weren't able to attend. All the biscotti flavors were amazing. We suggest getting a mixed bag to try each kind.
