Exploring the Street Food Festival in Tuscany

When you think of Tuscany, the first things that come to mind are Rennaissance Florence, and medieval towns surrounded by rolling hills. And who could forget the quintessential Tuscan wineries.

So it comes as no surprise that a region synonymous with picturesque landscapes and timeless charm, is also a treasure trove of some of the most beautiful parks in the world. Complementing its rolling hills, vineyards, and historic towns, Tuscany’s natural parks blend natural beauty, cultural richness, and tranquility.

Tuscany, a region renowned for its rich culinary heritage, offers a plethora of gastronomic delights to tantalize the taste buds of food enthusiasts worldwide. Amidst the cobblestone streets and historic architecture there is Empoli, a charming town nestled in the heart of Tuscany. Empoli is mainly known for being the city of Farinata degli Uberti, but its art gallery rightfully places it at world attention. There are many masterpieces it houses and walking through its bright rooms will allow visitors to discover artists who have made Tuscany famous since the Middle Ages.

Empoli Serravalle Street Food: A Hidden Gem

In the heart of Empoli, the Serravalle Street Food scene comes alive, encapsulating the essence of Italian cuisine with a diverse array of flavors and culinary traditions. From April 11th to 14th, 2024, the Serravalle Park in Empoli’s Green Bar area will transform into a vibrant festival celebrating street food and music with free admission. This event features quality ‘Trucks’ offering a journey through Italian regional cuisines—from Tuscan and Sicilian to Neapolitan—and extending to international dishes like Chinese, Japanese, and Thai specialties, all accompanied by live music and entertainment.
