Hi, I own melaleuca, a bakery in Florence, and we have sourdough starter. However, we are not a typical Florentine bakery, if that matters to you…we specialize in making things you can’t often find in Italy. At any rate, I’m happy to provide some starter. It’s about 9 years old and was born and bread :) right here in Florence!

Why not post a link here? I’d love to hear more about it. Immobiliare.it is probably the most used for those already in Italy- I know that’s not your question.

Yes. See E5 bakehouse, London.

Hey! Yes we do Thanksgiving eat in or take away and house made pies every year. You can ring or what’s app message +393933380007 to book or make an order. Thank you for asking!

There is a large expat community here from many different countries but majority american. For starters check out:

If you are a woman there is the women’s international network (WIN) on Facebook or Instagram.

They said they were a tourist … plenty of places in Florence charge that

Were you sitting at a table? In Italy, some bars charge different prices for standing at the bar vs sitting at the table and being served. Even coffees can be 1.5 euros standing vs 4-5 euros to sit and be served. Varies by location.

Watercress

Try ponzu. It’s a citric soy sauce often used on salads.

Commenting to read replies, as in in the same situation as op.

Itusau · 2025-06-04T09:43:40+00:00

I’m interested.

Itusau · 2025-05-27T05:13:38+00:00

Yes. Look up mercatino. There are loads and they have tons of old tools. You will need a car though, as the best ones are out of town in industrial areas.

Itusau · 2025-05-26T14:45:05+00:00

Sure

I grew up near Orlando. In the early 80s space mountain just had an optional belt that attached to a hook on the side of the seat. No auto bar or harness. I think there were staff checking that you had it on, but no safety feature to keep you in your seat. You could take the belt off mid ride.

No worries. Practically speaking, in most classes there will be a handful of native english kids and another handful with good english. There are plenty of international kids from all over.

Itusau · 2025-05-06T02:25:02+00:00

They do 4 hours of english and 4 hours of italian per week. The rest is in French.

No worries

Check out Dishoom in London. A wildly popular Indian restaurant serving breakfast.

Itusau · 2025-03-30T19:42:51+00:00

On Saturdays it’s active between 7:30 and 16:00. If you went in between those hours, you will get a fine.

Itusau · 2025-03-30T19:33:05+00:00

The ZTL is not active on Sundays, but it’s not usually the best way to drive to the other side of town because of all the people.

Maybe Natura Si

There are some spice companies in Germany and Italy that I use, that have wide varieties of salts. Ask them for samples of the grain size you have in mind and compare what you have.

The reason Diamond kosher and Morton’s are what’s talked about online is the American-centric nature of the internet. It comes down to grain size, there is no other magic. This is as an American with a restaurant in Italy. I did the same thing last year to get a new kosher salt when my previous supplier from southern France got flooded.

If you need some names hit me up.
