[@aris1956]

Italian food is heaven on earth !

[@samuelandaudrey]

Yes, INDEED! It sure is :)

[@ettoremorabito6063]

Luis Maria i love baccala'i love the way you cook it!But as Calabrese you dont put the chilli peperoncino that in southern Calabria love sooo much!But Timorese do!Thanks to you!And i love it!

[@AtrolinK]

@ i'm italian and i LOVE portugese food. It's one of the best cuisine in the world without doubt. But still miles and miles away from the italian food, which is uncomparable for its supreme goodness.

AtrolinK it’s true ! We have a lot of Portuguese food in our KZbin Chanel ! ❤️

[@reycosep5916]

Yummy food

[@Adanos163]

when I see videos like yours I realize how serious we are when we get into the food compared to other countries. Every nation has its problems but I feel so lucky to be italian because I love eating so much 😂

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Italy has some of the best food in the world without a doubt.

[@melissahorn6091]

Adanos You are soooo lucky to be Italian, your food is the best! I love to cook Italian food ! I should have been Italian! It’s such a challenge for me though because I’m diabetic, so no pasta or bread for me 😂.

[@pizza611]

I always love the background music they choose, so relaxing and delightful.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@dancergal5068]

We were in Florence last month and we loved the Market! Thanks for sharing your experience- made my mouth water!

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is awesome to hear! What was your favorite thing you tried there?

[@dancergal5068]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos The arancini and an amazing pasta with tomato cream sauce. Can’t wait to back to Italy. I really enjoy your videos.

[@sophiek2676]

This is an extremely relaxing video to watch. Thank you

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank yoU! Appreciate heraing that!

[@lyndalombardi6473]

Watching this video is making me hungry, but most of all so very glad the apartment I will be staying in when I am there is 2 minutes from the Mercato Centrale. Shopping for groceries and taking them back to the apartment to cook or taking advantage of the all those choices upstairs, WOW. Heaven Italian style!!!!! We were there in 2018 and truly enjoyed the market, it really is great value for money and made me want to have an apartment where I could cook this next trip. Looking forward to 2 weeks of living like a local.

[@lyndalombardi6473]

with less than 5 weeks until I am there in Florence I am watching this again. Inspired and getting excited to have the opportunity to go to the market. Will likely try all of what you have shown and then some. Cheers, grazie.

[@grahamthetraveller]

I am in Florence now and was in Central Market yesterday but I didn't go upstairs but I will be tomorrow thanks guys keep the great videos coming

Thanks Graham! Great to hear. Is it busy these days or is tourism down quite a bit?

wow ... I've never eaten Parmesan like that ... must give it a try. We usually just use it for grating over everything else. Nice vlog , thanks

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! We didn't either until we visited Italy. It is so nice having those big wedges of it :)

[@italiani41]

A tip. Spread some excellent butter on fresh, crispy bread and than eat it with chunks of parmigiano. Or, instead of butter, some good olive oil and pepper. Or, shredded over crispy bread, olive oil and pomodori pachino and, some rucola leaves! Gnaaaaammmmm!

[@emilybh6255]

I love all the "marketplaces " you find. They remind me of a larger version of Quincy market at Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston Massachusetts. They all have the converted warehouse feeling with loads of sky light streaming in, with loads of people milling about and eating... and then of course there are the vendors with their luscious tempting spreads.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Oh, the one in Boston sounds great. I'm thinking of doing a road-trip with my Dad to watch baseball and maybe make a city guide in Boston. I'll definitely check it out if we go.

[@ARS-vs6kx]

Nice cold cuts >>>>> Yum Yum

[@AsiLisA87]

I absolutely love the central market, there are so many incredible choices that you can spend an hour just figuring out what you want and everything is top quality. It is quite expensive though, being from Florence myself I know a lot of other places that are way cheaper. But it is very nice to have all that amazing food and beverage all in one place for sure.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We sure loved the variety. Where would you recommend for a less touristy spot that people could try out?

[@musingsatmidlife5278]

Thanks for the great video! I can't wait until I am back there in September! Great job!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Would you mind please recommending one or two? Nothing beats suggestions from locals.

[@Claudia-zx6yy]

Well....Sant'Ambrogio it's a normal district. In the morning you can visit the market. You can try the "Lampredotto" near the church ;) There is also a flea market not so far. This zone, during the evening, it's full of restaurants where you can have an "aperitivo" on the street. Students and workers are all there.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@navyretired230]

If you do not mind, what are the names of some of the local markets with food courts? We will be in Florence next Spring

[@joejacoby2464]

Bravissimo for another great video! Florence is my favorite city in Italy. The arancini (rice balls) are, like the cannoli are really Sicilian specialties but not surprising to find them elsewhere....since they're so good....

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos probably genetically modified food, garnished with pesticides, or antibiotics, sulfates, tons of sugar, fat and starch, colors, chemicals, etc. all “delicious” and “healthy” products sold by default across American markets and restaurants😂😂😂😂 producing the “very health”, fat and sick American population that ultimately need to use an abominable, horribly expensive and useless because low quality health care system to...cure themselves, when they can afford it!

[@NeiraJevicki]

This video made me very hungry 😂 I am so sad you said Rome didn’t impress you, but I understand why. It is one of my favourite cities, but last time I visited in July and it was horrible. The first two times I visited in March - the weather was perfect, there were no queues and we managed to see everything without crowds. However, in July, it was so crowded that we couldn’t even approach Di Trevi. The next day we started the tour at 7 am and managed to see everything without people. I know you visited in February, and that Di Trevi scene looked like July :D Kisses from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I really enjoyed your Mostar videos and I hope you will give Sarajevo a go :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! We would love to visit Sarajevo next time. Actually that is one big regret we have from our Balkans trip last year. I think Rome is certainly impressive but just so overrun with tourists at this point.

[@NeiraJevicki]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I agree, I felt it on my skin the last time. Guess I was just lucky the first two times. I can’t wait for you to visit Sarajevo and I would love to take you around!

the bread on your prosciutto sandwish is called schiacciata alla fiorentina and the cheese is called scamorza cheese guys !

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@shelley6477]

Also isn’t that sandwich called a panini?

[@marcsitaliankitchen2019]

Hi Shelley, a panino (singular) is normally not on a schiacciata but having said that it is a general term used for a sandwich.

[@italiani41]

Italian food is indeed the best under all point of views. Starting with the freshness, quality and variety of food. Ending with the way of cooking which doesn’t cover up the actual test of food, like French do with their tons of sauces, but amplify by keeping as fragrant as possible and by complementing with the right delicious condiments.! Thumb up for the incomparable Italian gastronomy to any other one, as much as good can possibly be. PS I hope that the new Trumps’s trading agreements with Italy will not destroy the quality of Italian food/gastronomy by allowing introduction of genetic manipulation, Monsanto’s seeds, meat with steroids, antibiotics, hormones, etc.! Is appropriate to say “viva lItalia, abbasso gli USA!”

It is a bit unusual I suppose.

[@MrTinner66]

@@samuelandaudrey - No, is normal. it is also consumed regularly in flakes. In bars during the aperitif it is not difficult to find a half form of Parmigiano or Grana Padano available to customers. In addition, when the cheese is young, a delicious plate of Grana Padano or Parmesan curls is consumed, which is called "raspadüra" (scraping). Ciao

Gnnnnnaaaaaammmmmmm!! And, in an adjacent little street near the most famous and beautiful square in Rome (piazza Navona), you should try a little pizzeria that is famous for its delicious different tens of type of pizza’s toppings! The pizza aren’t round but cutted by the pound! Whoooioow! DE L I C I O U S! The least one can say!!!! Rome! My dear eternal city!!!!!

I dont think i could eat parmesan on its own. A bit strong for me.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Yeah, it is a bit strong but we loved it.

[@doc7440]

Parmisan ( parmigiano reggiano ) cheese is strong based on the time of maturation . To eat alone as that cone it's used slightly seasoned Parmesan (12 months) which has a less intense taste , while on pasta or pizza or or whatever you want , it's used the tastiest one (24 - 36 months maturation or even more ).

[@MrTinner66]

Eating with Parmigiano Reggiano or even with Grana Padano and a good bottle of Italian wine is a divine experience, the taste of the cheese that gives way to the taste of wine has no equal ... believe me. Ciao
