This city has so much to do and see. Make sure you get a "beef-steak Florentine style", it’s about 5 inches thick and tastes wonderful!! Plus all the wine is great as well!
My last trip there as a tourist, we had a lot of our group (Off a Cruise Ship) taken by pickpockets. One, was within a Catholic church we visited. Yes, otherwise the city was beautiful. We were warned on shipboard as well as the tour leader about the Pickpockets. I didn't get to eat there; however, had lots of good food in Rome and especially Venice. I spent (4) days in Venice and had a great time and lots of good meals.

Paris also has a pickpocket problem, especially in the subways and Pigalle. They blame the gypsies... but I have my doubts about that.
