Excellent at the edges

Santa Croce

Around the basilica and toward Sant'Ambrogio, touristy at the core and excellent at the margins.

Around the great Franciscan basilica and stretching toward the Sant'Ambrogio edge, Santa Croce is a study in margins: touristy and theatrical at its monumental core, then suddenly excellent a street or two out. Vivoli still sets the standard for gelato, Ditta Artigianale's Via dei Neri bar fixed Florence's coffee, and the classic trattorie and serious wine lists reward anyone willing to walk past the souvenir stalls. Navigate it with intent and it pays off.
