Great video, my wife and I heading to Florence on Friday for honeymoon. We are booked in to Ora D’aria Saturday night. Can’t wait! You look like you made great restaurant choices!
Congratulations! 🥂 🍾 Florence is such a magical city and a perfect place to spend a honeymoon. You will not be disappointed with Ora D’aria! I hope you have a great time. Say hello to our favorite city for us :)
New subscriber here. I've just been to Florence last month. We had our dinners mainly at Mercato Centrale and had our bistecca fiorentina there too. The food is divine in Florence I want to go back! Great content by the way.
👋 Thanks for subscribing! Mercato Centrale is a staple! We love it there too and go every time we’re in Florence. We’re actually going back soon 👏🏼 We doing a five city tour of the Christmas markets in Europe, starting in Florence. I hope you follow along to see that one too 😊
our son spent 21 days in one of the best hotels on the Bay of Naples, complements of Boeing as he was the youngest Engr. to be sent there to observe the parts for the Boeing Dreamliner that he was responsible for. He was given an upscale car to drive but only drove it from the airport to the hotel and back. I'm not driving around in this traffic. A great experience for a 24 year old.
I fell in love with food and cooking at a very young age. Standing in my Grandma Cordova's kitchen one sunny morning in Spain learning how to make salsa. My love for all things related to food led me to 36 years as a fine dining server in all of the best restaurants Portland Oregon offers. I am now writing Cozy Culinary Murder Mysteries and am having the time of my life! I get so much pleasure from watching you experience the culture and cuisine of so many unique places. This video has been one of my favorites! The first place was incredible! What are your top five favorite places you've visited so far? And where is your most desired place on your bucket list? Thank you for sharing and bringing joy to others.
Thank you for your comment and following us! Culinary Murder Mysteries sound fascinating. We loved everything in Florence and we’re blown away with Italian food in her wrap our first trip to Tuscany. Our favorite in Florence was probably La Giostra, our favorite in Tuscany was in a town I can’t remember, Casolina or something similar, but the dinner blew us away! In France we went to La Bistrot in St Laurent island and had the freshest ingredients and innovative dishes. We also loved Vestry in NYC, El Huerto in Cabo, we LOVE every experience we’ve ever had at Le Cirque in Las Vegas but we’ve never filmed an episode there. I have a big one on my (Erin) bucket list, and it’s Alinea in Chicago. Thank you for the questions! It was fun reminiscing :)
That’s great! You’re going to have an incredible time. And I’m glad we were able to help. You can download (for free) our destination guide at followabc.com. Hopefully that can be some help as well.
Hey found your vlog, we’re heading to Florence too this May and glad to have found your tips. So excited! Btw, really dig your Gucci bucket hat, may I ask where did you get it? Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for watching and following us. So glad it’s been helpful. You’re going to have an amazing time in Florence. My (Erin) hat is an old treasure of mine. I got it at a Neiman Marcus sale over 15 years ago. It’s one of those things I’ll never get rid of 🙂
@@AlwaysBeChanging Just dropping by to say hi, found you guys before our Florence trip and now it's so surreal that you guys are living in my country and city, Manila ha! ha! I missed your meet up last time and hope to make it next time you have one. See you guys soon !
Checking out your channel now and it's crazy how much overlap we have on content! We're in San Diego today (doing a food tour episode tomorrow) and tried to get down to Tijuana yesterday for a tour but the timing didn't work out. Only a matter of time until we bump into one another, so we'll keep an eye on your Insta and YT channel to see where you are :)
@@AlwaysBeChanging omg that would be so fun running into each other! Definitely gonna follow in YT and IG! I’ll be in Houston in a week, NYC next month, and Louisville in May!
@@TheLoonKDo We're in Denver this week, LA this weekend, Croatia starting April 8, and will be setting our next 2 trips in a few days. Back in San Diego beginning of May. Where is home for you guys?
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel, Pedro. Thanks for watching 🤗. We can’t wait to make it out to Puerto Rico. What do you think the most beautiful spot there is?
Yes, we understand. And we’re definitely giving it more consideration. It’s hard to reference when all party sizes, number of kids, drink choices, etc will all be different for everyone. But moving forward we’ll talk more about what each stand-out item costs.
@@AlwaysBeChanging Binging all your videos! Your mannerism and love for food make them fun to watch. I personally love la Giostra their prices are very reasonable. I’m wondering range for the others. For ex was last restaurant $500-$2,000 I can’t tell. It would definitely be cool to see in future vids.
@@ChristinaArdem Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️ We love creating these videos and hope we get better and better at them. The last restaurant, Ora d’Aria, was more reasonable than I imagined considering we bought a bottle of wine that was $240 E (we went a little overboard for our last night). Our total bill was under $800 (before tax) for the 5 of us (3 adults, 2 kids). I hope that gives you a better idea.
The Italian wine blend was 60% chardonnay. What were the other percentages? Great job filming. How incredible to bring your whole family on your adventures! I am a tour guide in Puerto Rico. Would love to give you a personalized ecotour Katya Hunt K Bueno Ecotours
That is a good question about the wine. Off the top of my head, I have no clue 🤷♀️ I should have paid more attention when we were drinking it. Thank you for your food tour offer! That is so cool and we would love to take you up on that as soon as we make it to Puerto Rico. It’s high on our list of places to visit. What part of Puerto Rico are you at?
Berlucchi 61 nature is a Metodo Classico ( métode champenoise) sparkling wine made with 70 % Chardonnay and 30 % Pinot nero (Pinot noir), from the Franciacorta appelation in Lombardy (North of Italy)
This video is supposed to be about the best restaurants in Florence. Instead it is about you trying to be a food critic with your faces in as many shots as possible. Please when you do videos make sure that they are about the subject and not about how great you are
We appreciate you sticking with the episode long enough to offer specific feedback. Our videos are about our family's experiences traveling the world, so maybe our channel just isn't the right fit for you. No hard feelings :)
Florence is one of the most walkable cities in the world. Every block has amazing architecture, amazing food, and amazing history.
We couldn't agree more! It's almost everything anyone could want in a city ❤
Each of these places was unique and delicious. Hard to pick a favorite!
I went with my parents in 2007 when I was a teenager and to this day, it's still one of the best restaurants ive ever been to. such a great place.
Best travel in Florence ❤good taste eating walking enjoy
Thank you for watching! 🙏❤️
I have reservations for La Giostra next month and this video made me so much more excited to go. Thank you for the content! I enjoyed watching.
Oh, you’re so lucky! Love that’s place ❤️

@@AlwaysBeChanging Have you done New Orleans? My mom lived in Vegas and we loved Cirque De Soleil!!
@@annablea6627 yes, we’ve been to Nola and we love the food scene. We’re hoping for the opportunity to go back and create episodes there.
Fantastic video! It's refreshing and inspiring to watch a family with excellent taste creating such beautiful videos.
So incredible and motivating to hear that feedback, Citrine :) Thank you! ❤️💕🙏🏼👍🏼😊

The salt baked fish looks amazing but so does pretty much everything else. Did you have a favorite?
It was amazing! And surprisingly not too salty :)
Best episode. Thanks
So happy you like it! It’s easy to enjoy all this incredible food in Florence 🥰
Loved this!! I had a Florence vlog too and it’s fun seeing others perspective!
Awesome, Loon! Thanks for watching :)

You should add Florence to the TOP of your list! 😘
@@AlwaysBeChanging I will!
Mmmm… steak!
What a beautiful family! I just came across your RUclips Channel and I love it! Bright and Abundant Blessings to you, and greetings from Puerto Rico!
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel, Pedro. Thanks for watching 🤗. We can’t wait to make it out to Puerto Rico. What do you think the most beautiful spot there is?
I am v sorry. Bad day. No excuse but work pressures. I am glad you liked Florence.
We completely understand. We all have bad days. Hope yours gets better!
French influences😂😂 this thing are in tuscany before than France ,like pigeon are a must in tuscany and north Italy
I’d pay $1000 to eat dinner at La Giostra tonight, btw.
I’ll go with you!
Your kids are so cute.
Thank you! 🤗
Wish each would have included the amount spent just for reference. ✨

Most of these restaurants have their menus on their website, if you want to do some research.
The Italian wine blend was 60% chardonnay. What were the other percentages?
Great job filming. How incredible to bring your whole family on your adventures!

@@nikiseminara4345 Thank you for that info!!
I felt sorry for the woman with the dark hair, looked like she was trying to escape the crazy American lady
7.18 she's like oh noo.. 😳 😂
😂 SHE is a crazy American lady 😆
@@AlwaysBeChanging 🤣❤️👍 love it
I live super close to Florence
You’re so lucky!
Take your hat off!
A cultural lesson learned already, but thank you for watching :)
When I saw the Gucci hat I immediately stopped the video.
Thanks for letting everyone know. Have a great day!
