The Central Market in Florence is a civic institution, made of flavors and freshness. On the ground floor, food products have been bought since 1874, when the great iron structure was established by Mengoni as the new market in the city.

The first floor, which was empty, has been completely renovated, redesigned and turned into an unmissable taste destination, thanks to the total rethinking of the area.

Like a huge covered square, the first floor of the Central Market is the place where visitors can taste food products prepared by great Italian artisans.

In fact, those who are present at the Central Market have accepted strict guidelines, where the excellence of products is guaranteed and, at the same time, have undertaken to transfer their knowledge to the public, in an exchange of information which forms the culture of quality food.

Therefore, the Market is also a place where visitors can learn about the good practices of Italian cuisine.

Returning to the main topic, that is food, visitors may choose what to bring home or eat there, thanks to the 500 seats available.
