在佛罗伦萨寻找家的味道

而留学的主要目的对于很多人来说, 包括我自己, important to find semblances of home to ground you when you're feeling lost. That can mean finding different places or experiences that bring you back to a place of familiarity and warmth. Although the food in 意大利 is absolutely incredible in quality and flavor, it can get old when it's the only thing you've eaten for a couple weeks. Panini are my absolute favorite food in 弗洛伦斯 but from time to time I need something that offers me the diversity of cuisine found in the United States.

不幸的是, finding restaurants in 弗洛伦斯 that appease the desire for food other than Italian is more difficult than one might assume. You have to know that nothing will really compare to the food you can get in the States because of the ingredients available and the prevailing cultural norms related to salt content. The food in the US is generally a lot saltier and fattier than the food in other countries. 然而, there are some spots that manage to do a commendable job of offering the foods Americans are more accustomed to and sometimes miss.

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day," as some might say in the US. 在意大利, 然而, breakfast is traditionally minimal and consists of a small pastry with a cappuccino. 幸运的是, there are some pretty great places where you can get breakfast foods that reconnect you to the classic American breakfast options. Rooster Cafi¨ is a known favorite for American breakfast food in 弗洛伦斯. They have incredible chicken and waffles as well as great pancakes. One of their locations even has a breakfast burrito, one of my personal favorites in the States. Their food is middle of the field as far as price and the staff is extremely friendly.

My next recommendation would have to be Ditta Arigianale; they have specialty lattes including a lavender latte with foam. Their French toast is fluffy and delicious so if that's something you normally order you would likely enjoy it. 这家小酒馆是家.fe is a smaller restaurant with some quality breakfast food. It is on the more expensive side but the bagel I got there was incredible (granted the bagels are a lot lighter and different in texture than those in back home).

当然，佛罗伦萨不仅仅只有早餐. There are a decent number of restaurants offering foreign cuisines that are more commonly eaten for lunch or dinner. If you're looking for sushi there are a number of places that offer all-you-can-eat with good quality fish. I've found that the rolls aren't always as flavorful as those available in the US, 但它们仍然可以满足你的渴望.

Golocious汉堡&Wine makes amazing burgers with extensive toppings and their fries are delectable. 唯一的问题是他们通常会把汉堡做得半生不熟, 这是意大利红肉的习惯, so if you prefer your burger to be more cooked make sure you specifically ask them. Tijuana and Los Chicos offer decent Mexican food that should do the trick in a pinch.

Ultimately, there are places that offer food catering to the tastes of Americans. 当你需要家的味道, there are places to go that will help you feel reconnected to home and the life you were accustomed to before traveling abroad.
