7 Places To Get Your Bacon Fix In Florence
BACON! To some it’s a mere side dish to accompany breakfast, to others its a WAY OF LIFE. Regardless of your relationship with bacon there’s no denying that it is absolutely delicious. Bacon withdrawals may be a viable concern when visiting (or moving to) Italy, but not in Florence. Here are 7 places in Florence where you can find your greasy, crispy nirvana:
1. The Diner
Location: Via dell’Acqua 2
They are definitely generous with their side of bacon at The Diner Florence. You can find out more about this awesome establishment on my Ultimate Guide to the Diner Florence!
2. Star Chicken
Location: Via Torta 17R
If you’re craving some fried chicken, get your fix here. Add bacon to any of their chicken sandwiches for only a few euros!
3. Red Garter
Location: Via de’ Benci 33R
Enjoy some bacon with their awesome Sunday brunch menu and giant pancakes!
4. Le Vespe

5. SantAmando Caffe
Location: Via Ghibellina 150

6. The Oil Shoppe

One of my favorite panino shops in town, get real Tuscan bacon inside a panino. Pro Tip: Get the #9 (Tuscan bacon, ham, provolone cheese, broccoli, and garlic mayo).
7. Off The Hook

Drink a beer and enjoy some bacon in the most mouthwatering burgers in Florence! Including the Santa Croce Burger (cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, caramelized onion jam, slices of cucumber, iceberg lettuce) and Salvemini Burger (chicken patty, crispy bacon, grilled eggplant, tomatoes and mint leaves).
