I am actually depressed writing about this one from Dallas. This is actually the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten in my whole 27 years of life. WORTH the wait.

I' Girone De' Ghiotti

Yes, this is the TikTok famous pasta shop and yes, it’s just as good as they say. You can walk up and wait in line. It really doesn’t take that long to get seated but if you want a guaranteed spot, definitely get a reservation months in advance.

Osteria Pastella

This place is out of a storybook. I swear it’s not real. It’s a great hike once you get through the doors and you’ll see a ton of nature, statues, and best of all a full view of the city.

Officina Profumo - Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella

Whether in Florence or somewhere in Italy, you have to do a pasta cooking class. I’ve done about four or five and every class teaches you a different technique, uses a different tool and teaches you things about pasta you would’ve never known.
