Birthday in Florence
We will be spending my husband's birthday in Florence, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for something really special to do, either that day or night, to celebrate?
Thanks in advance.

Have a room in Baglioni Hotel or another 4 or 5 star hotel in the center of Florence and have a pic-nic in bed? I mean, before suggesting you something "special" to do with your husband, We would need to understand what is "special" to you!

Hi Statia.
Naughty, naughty Alice has one suggestion.
How about dinner at the Villa San Michele?
My notes from this forum have:
"..the veranda of the Villa San Michele (hotel) in Fiesole. Priceless - - the view counts for a lot See if can just have a drink. Expensive food not that good".
Maybe the food is that good.

For dinner, I'd highly recommend La Girostra. Really great food, very friendly staff in a very comfortable setting. At the Chef's recommendation I had two Tuscan specialties, Wild Boar Ragu with Tagliatelle and braised rabbit. Dinner for my wife and I, with a bottle of wine, was a very reasonable $100 Euro's.
After dinner, you might consider a cocktail at Cipriani or a casual stroll through the Piazza Republica for the music.

Thank you all so much for your suggestions!
As for you, Alice...naughty girl...ha. Actually, love the hotel idea, but we have an apartment booked. I'm sure the "specialties" will still happen, however.
Ira & Ryan, both restaurants sound fabulous, so I'll look into them. We live on a very small island and don't get exoctic dishes very often, so La Girostra might just be an option.
Thanks again! Anyone else?
