Dalla Lola

We went here for our last day in Florence and this restaurant is literally the best restaurant we’ve been to in Italy. Great vibes, amazing food, and Matilde and Zack are the coolest and sweetest ones in Florence, literally. We had so much fun and really enjoyed the food here.

Absolutely delicious. A perfect lunch. Portions were appropriate. Gnocchi was somehow light, even in a butter miso sauce. Fried tortellini antipasti was so unique. Best cheesecake we’ve had in Italy. Owners are so kind and very active. Lovely experience.

We loved this restaurant! We saw the episode of Stanley Tucci’s show where he visited it and couldn’t wait to try it ourselves. The food was excellent, specially the miso gnocchi with onions, light and flavourful. The staff were super friendly and the atmosphere was great.

If you see my previous previews and how much I value good & local food, there is not much to say. Go to Dalla Lola. She and her team made my day. I should have not let her encourage me to get the cheese cake, it was truly impeccable yet i skipped the dinner after having tasted 4 dishes :))))

easy, informal spot with a lot of non-traditional options (dropped in for lunch on a weekday). the owner (i think she is the owner?) was very helpful, attentive and warm. kind of a place where there is an immediate level of sincerity and connection either customers. one would be a regular as a resident. anchovy pasta was great and I had a heavenly lemon cake that was off menu and available for the day.

Love love love Lola! What a wonderful meal and team! The flavors burst in your mouth from each dish. The wine was perfect and sulfite free. The cheesecake was like eating sweet clouds 🤍 Thank you for a magical dining experience.

Without a doubt one of the best meals I had in Florence. While there are numerous places to try traditional Tuscan fare like the bisteccas, Dalla Lola's take is a rare delight in a city eager to please a constant deluge of tourists. The humble Gnocchi here is served with beetroot carpaccio and a miso sauce, a trio you're unlikely to spot in a place together. The fried pork chop was juicy and succulent; the breading seasoned just right to tantalize the tastebuds by itself, and also acted as a willing sponge for the tomato sauce. Finished the meal with their coffee cake with mascarpone and it was scrumptious too. Dalla Lola's ambience is excellent too. It is tucked away in the delightful Santo Spirito neighbourhood, away from the chaos of the city center, a chilled out, relaxed atmosphere made all the more amazing by a genial and attentive staff. The owners seem like genuinely wonderful people, and the food they're dishing out pays reverence to tradition, while also daring to be different. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lovely eating experience. Please do note that reservations help MASSIVELY, because they're only open for a couple of hours in the morning/afternoon and the evening.

Came here for a solo lunch and it quickly became the highly of my Italy visit so far, so warm and welcoming service and the tastiest Italian food I’ve had so far! The fried vegetable fritters were a standout, such unique flavors! The owner was also so kind ti write me a list of wineries to visit on the next leg of our Tuscan holiday in Siena.

This place is great. We had things here we'd never had before. Everything was very fresh and delicious. It's not touristy, which is what we wanted. Go, eat, you'll love it!

If you're looking for a place less traveled with some of the most local flavors this is the spot! I lived in Italy for over three years and by far this is one of the best restaurants I ever went to. From there appetizers, to their pastas, to their meat/fish dishes, to their desserts, to the wine...everything is amazing! One of the biggest telltale signs is that you will find a full of locals. You won't find better for your money here in Florence!!!!!

AMAZING. We came here with a larger group and the service and ambience were top notch. The food was DELICIOUS. The fish is brought in fresh daily. I would highly recommend. Every person in our group loves their meal. Can't wait to come back!

Absolutely delicious. Best service we have had in Florence by far. Have whatever is suggested you won't be disappointed. The food is simple and great!!

I'm not sure I will have a better food experience than we had at La Lola. My husband & I we're recommended by our air bnb host to try this place. We had lunch there & the waiter was so welcoming. He said to simply trust his recommendations & were so glad we did! Not a touristy spot, if you want good authentic Italian atmosphere & cuisine- you must go here! Grazie Mille La Lola!

Simply delicious! We had spinach crudi, pasta with rabbit ragu and squid stuffed with the cream of eggplant. Creative dishes sized perfectly. Cheesecake and tiramisu for dessert - not a crumb left on our plates!

Innovative, delicious, dishes served by welcoming, intelligent staff makes Dalla Lola a wonderful place to eat. The complex layering of flavors of the pasta with "Chianti Tuna" and candied grapefruit was ingenious. You can tell this imaginative chef is really enjoying cooking. Thank you to the whole staff for a great evening!

SO amazing. Excellent service, unique food experience - one of the best places we've been on this trip. Also known as "Il chicco di caffe". HUGE portions, so be careful of ordering too much!
