Homegrown Wildcrafters Kitchen & Deli

The pub's funky aesthetic and local organic ethos was a good staging ground for my quest to see Florence in a new light. Hour one and I was already pleasantly surprised. Burgers made with quality local beef did not disappoint, and the pub plate included chive spread, pickled onions, a generous helping of smoked tuna and a stack of toasted artisanal bread. Our tattoo-spangled waitress recommended the fresh-squeezed margaritas and listed eight local beers on tap. Sipping our IPAs, we felt fortunate: fifteen years ago you would have been lucky to find Coors and Miller on tap in a Florence pub.
