Hi Lourdes, we are coming to Italy for the first time and landing in Florence in late September (28). Would love to know some insider tips on non-touristy quality restaurants. Also would love a recommendation on places to stay in Tuscany and perhaps any cooking classes while there, thanks in advance for your help!
 
Recommendations in Florence

Buongiorno,

There are so many options to choose from - really you could go crazy trying to pick out the best one.

As for a cooking lesson, read through a review my colleague wrote on Chef Nous

And then you can look through some of the top offers at http://tours.discovertuscany.com/en/8357/travel-tips/Cooking-Classes-in-Tuscany-Florence/ttd

As for not so touristy places to eat dinner...to be honest, Florence hardly has any secrets left and anywhere you go with good food will also have a following of tourists ;-)
But having said that, I can tell you, that you can find several good places (and book online with a discount) at this link. It is raelly for the Italians - but you will find it in English as well.

a couple of places I have tried on the list include Santarpia (good pizza, very small menu because they are all about the quality), La Loggia near Piazzale Michelangelo - great views - and La Chiostrina, high end quality meals.

Buon Viaggio,
Donna Denise

PS tonight I am going to Cuculia - it will be the second time, highly recommended by my local friends
