Obicà, Mozzarella Bar, Florence

A Mozzarella bar in a shady courtyard just off the busy Via de' Tornabuoni, with its ultra expensive, designer brand names, just steps from the Piazza della Repubblica, this is the perfect place for a tasting of regional specialities, for lunch or dinner, on your way Santa Maria Novella, San Lorenzo, or the Duomo. Choose between six different mozzarella dishes (€6.50), or go for the Gran Degustazione (€31), with a tasting of three mozzarellas, stracciatellas and Ricottas. There is also a mouth-watering selection of Salumi (ham)  (€7-€12.50), fried zucchini flowers, eggplant croquettes and a tasting of fried specialities (€10.50). And if you have any room left, you can always explore the region's cheese with a cheese board with five different cheeses. There is also a selection of fabulous salads (€12.50-€15.50) for anybody looking for something lighter.
