Prato with Elisabetta
Itinerary
Prato is a city that never ceases to amaze and is perfect for those in search of less touristy destinations. The city combines the ancient charm of its historic centre with the modern business and contemporary art district, in an itinerary that ranges from the Middle Ages to Avant-garde.
We are again with Elisabetta Pandolfini. We asked her to take us around her hometown, selecting her favorite spots. Scroll to see the city through her eyes.

EAT
Her top 3:
🍝 Pasticceria Nuovo Mondo, The canonical world of pastry was not enough for Paolo Sacchetti's creativity. Hence the need to build his "New World", an obligatory address for gourmands in Prato which offers original creations with particular attention to local and seasonal ingredients.
🍝 Schiaccino, Housed in the textile museum of Prato, Schiaccino was born from the passion for baking, good food and wines, natural and genuine. Go for a schiaccina, of course!
🍝 SU.GO. is born with the idea of serving innovative dishes following traditional recipes and preferring seasonal and organic products. Add a modern design venue, which recreates the ancient industrial vocation and the soul of Tuscan aromas and flavors. "Food that warms the heart and belly".
DRINK
Her suggestion:
