I'd never heard of Cantucci and went based on trip advisor reccomendations. They were really nice, but I remember someone saying they were quite cheap and thought it was worth mentioning they are not that cheap! My girlfriend and I bought a large back each and it came to 25 euros!

This is a very small place. Selection was very limited. We had cookies which were good. I think its not worth looking for but nice if you accidently get there.

When I asked my hotel's front desk for pasticceria (bakery) recommendations, she mentioned I should try cantucci. I stumbled upon this place while trying to find the Mercato Centrale and went in. The sample on the counter was delicious and the staff was very friendly and kind about my poor command of the local language. And I could see the... More

The cantucci here is truly exquisite. Crunchy, soft, and chewy--all in one. You can smell the bakery from down the street and you can even watch them making goodies from the window. They would make a delightful gift as they keep for a while.

It was a pain to find thanks to stupid Italian naming conventions. But it was quite excellent. Especially the pistachio biscuit.

Very fresh and delicious cantucci sold and made by a very friendly "pasticciere fiorentino". You can try the different versions of them there, together with the typical wine. When you taste them you really realise that the owner makes them in the traditional way.. and with love!! this is the perfect gift to take home - or just to eat... More

Hidden away in a sidestreet, this shop can easily be bypassed. We came on the advice of other tripadvisors and was not disappointed by the cantuccio. You can sample the cantuccio before buying. We bought six 200g bags as souvenirs. We would buy more if only we could fit it all in our luggage!

My husband and I searched twice for this small bakery on a quiet Firenze street. We luckily found it moments before it was to close and had the whole place to ourselves. The cantucci flavours are to die for, with plenty of samples and vin santo to wash them down. We brought back 6 bags to hand out as authentic... More

Small bakery but the taste is phenomenal. A must stop. The owner states that they will stay fresh for up to 3 months. I dont think they will last that long

Delicious cantucci at a good price, in a very well located place! They're not hard as others I've tried, but more of soft pastry with tasty almonds in the middle and a crunchy outside. When I first went there the waitress was really friendly and even made me a discount. This is also a good typical thing from Florence for... More
