Unless something has changed recently, Baghetto is in Rome, not Florence.

Baghetto Milan is Glatt, Baghetto Rome is not (although they have some glatt options). I was in both this month. Baghetto Florence I am not sure if glatt or not, but I think it is under the local Chabad Rabbi Levi.

Check that out. About 5 years ago, it wasn't recommended.
You may be confusing with the local non-chabad rabbi that certified Ruth's

What are the current food options?

How about Shabbos?

It looks like there are two chabads in Florence. Can anyone advise?

Anybody stay in St Regis over Shabbos?

Any issues with automatic doors, using stairs, etc?

Anyone else going to Florence in July and want to do a DO? :)

Thinking about renting a car for a day and going to a Tuscany kosher winery and cooking class. Has anyone done it? Worth it?
