Where better to get a taste of Florence's long-lived connection with Anglo-American culture than Ditta Arigianale? Lovers of American breakfast (yes, that includes pancakes) and Italian expresso can get their fix on either side of the Arno River. The hip locations at Via dello Sprone and Via dei Neri also serve salads and sandwhiches at lunchtime, while evenings are dominated by sumptuous cocktails.
