Ciao, Lisa!
You'll love Italy! Florence is my second home
Last September I danced at "La Valle dei Cedri", the only Lebanese restaurant in the city, and it was an amazing experience, must put up a blog on that one of these days.
Ibrahim is the owner and very professional with the highest of standards. Whether you dance there or not you will be treated with the greatest kindness and respect. You might try contacting him before you leave re the possibility of performing. In any case, I highly recommend at least one visit to La Valle dei Cedri for a meal; the food, décor, staff, music, etc. all make for a spectacular experience. Here is the website with the contact info:

Parli italiano? If so, you'll find this website extremely useful re general info on bellydance in Italy:

Buon viaggio!
