A market nicely and neatly organized with lots of stalls selling meat, cheese, porcini, pasta, ham, salami as well as some stalls offering excellent cappucino, local food, cheap, easy, simple and tasty!

Great place to see, feel and taste Italy. Fresh food, cheeses, spices, meats, breads, flowers, you name it, it's there. A lot of weird things too, cow tongues and intestines, livers and kidneys, pig heads, etc. Interesting place, worth a visit. There are a few eateries inside, tried the one with pastas and it was just OK. Some offered tripe... More

We walked around the Central Market and discovered a gem selling quality organic olive oil, vinegar (aceto balsamico di modena) and honey. The owners, the old Italian man and a younger Italian man, are very friendly and patient. They introduced their products and offered us to try them. The olive oil, vinegar and honey (for pairing with cheese) tasted better... More

Great place to see, smell, taste and buy all the foods of Italy! From freshly made pasta before your eyes to cheeses, oils with tastings, fruits, veggies. Even baked goods!

We bought nearly all our produce here during our 10 day visit to Florence met some very friendly people selling here free habernero from young stall holder knowing we were from NZ. The sellers like you to at least try to Parlo Italiano, I managed enough to be able to buy pomodoro (tomato) and not an artichoke or chicken. Great... More
