Hi, thanks for the interesting posts, including those on schooling options in Florence. What would you recommend for a working couple moving to Florence with two kids (seventh grade and second grade)? We will only be in Florence for 6 months most likely, but there could be an extension. The International School is not in our budget. Thanks for any ideas . . .

Don’t bother for Lunch with Il Panino Tondo

So here is my new disappointment.

I am in the blue section for ordering at Il Panino Tondo Firenze and I put in a simple order for a bagel with salmon and cream cheese, some fries and a donut.

I did this at 11:35 and asked for delivery of my order by 1:00 pm.

I was called and told they could not deliver until around 2:00 pm.

This is not the first time.

I canceled this order and will not be ordering from them again.

People order for lunch time not for after lunch time and they can not seem to deliver it until 2:00 or later.  So if you want your lunch late go ahead and order from them but if not do not even bother.  http://www.ilpaninotondo.it/

And Yes I used to promote them when they first started now I have to say the service has seemed to go down hill along with some of the quality.  I am not happy with them anymore.

Hello! I am a young American girl studying in Florence and seeking work as a babysitter, house cleaner, and/or gardener. I have been working with children of all ages for many years and have references in Florence as well as from back home (Pennsylvania). I can also provide references from Florence and the states for the cleaning work I have done. If you need help around the house, even if it’s just a few hours a week, please contact me and we can meet to discuss the work.
