a unique location
Mercato Centrale opened in the spring of 2014 to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the iron and glass architecture erected in 1874. It was designed by Giuseppe Mengoni, the man behind Florence’s Sant’ Ambrogio market and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. Today, our Florence market is a vibrant destination where locals and travelers come together to experience the best of Tuscan food, culture, and creativity. With over 20 food stalls run by passionate artisans, it’s the perfect spot for anyone wondering where to eat in Florence. Located inside the iconic San Lorenzo market, Mercato Centrale is more than just a place to eat — it’s a place to explore, connect, and taste something unforgettable. Come and enjoy regional specialties, seasonal dishes, and the welcoming energy of Florence’s most flavorful gathering spot.
