The story
Eataly’s Florence outpost, tucked along Via de’ Martelli, brings the beloved Italian food hall concept to the shadow of the Duomo. With a solid 4.2-star rating, it’s clearly a popular stop for both locals and tourists seeking a curated taste of the region. The space leans into casual, takeaway-friendly street food, making it an easy pit stop for a quick bite.
Florentine creator Francesco Zini gave the gluten-free Tuscan street food offering a try, singling out the **Neccio con Ricotta e Crema di Nocciole Slitti**. He called the experience “neat” but found the chestnut flavor lacking, especially given the price. It’s a fair warning for purists: this neccio may be convenient, but don’t expect the bold, nutty depth of a traditional version.

AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Neccio con ricotta e crema di nocciole earns raves for its delicate, nutty sweetness, making Eataly feel like a cozy Italian countryside escape.
“I'm trying this neccio, which is a typical Tuscan street food from the Lucca Apennines — basically an Italian crepe made with chestnut flour, gluten-free. I chose the one with ricotta and Slitti hazelnut cream, which won first prize as the best chocolate in Europe. The chestnut dough is much softer and lighter than a regular crepe, a bit stickier. I like it, but I don't really taste the chestnut — the flavour is a bit anonymous, you only notice the texture. For 5 euros, it's worth more than a lampredotto sandwich? Not really in terms of taste. The wooden basket they give you is cute.”
