    Dabarba is a gem for those seeking authentic cuisine with a local touch. The dishes are superbly crafted, capturing traditional flavors that feel genuinely home-cooked. The service is exceptional—warm, attentive, and welcoming, making you feel like a cherished guest. The ambiance is relaxed and unpretentious, giving it an authentic local vibe. While the wine list is adequate, it complements the menu well enough to satisfy most palates. Dabarba is a delightful spot for anyone looking to enjoy an authentic dining experience with great food and heartfelt hospitality.

    Very good food and super nice service! We tried the fish of the day, the veal cheeks and the steack, all excellent. Cold cuts and dessert were also very appreciated!

    The food was fantastic, the staff is exceptional, and the ambiance is perfect! Try the Tuscan cheeses as an entrance, coupled with one of the delicious Tuscan wines! Highly recommended when in Florence!

    Everything was perfect! The food was incredible, the owner was gracious and informative, our server, Yvonne, was great, and we got to meet the chef to tell her wonderful the dishes were. Probably our best meal in Italy.

    The staff were so warm and welcoming and happy to engage. The food choices were well explained and good suggestions offered. It was a really hot evening and they offered us a cooler place to sit near the rear of the cozy restaurant. Dabarba is a lovely little spot!

    We arrived 15 minutes late for our reservation and our table had been given away, yet the restaurant still found a way to accommodate us. A welcome glass of Prosecco was a lovely treat. The food was delicious and I loved the decor and ambience.

    I don’t do many reviews but the food and service here was the best ever! So many places in Florence are good but the menus are all so similar. This is different- the menu is more creative- fusion of Italian and other flavors/ ingredients with lots of very fresh options, especially seafood, they even have gluten free options. . Ambience is great - small venue along the river with outdoor seating and a more personal chef owned feel. You will love it. Food is second to none. Try the avocado seafood salad - it’s really amazing as are the clams and catch of the day … !!!

    My friend recommended this restaurant, and I am so glad I came! You get a personalized experience and each dish was delicious and unique. The bread was also amazing! I would highly recommend you come here! I ordered the prawn and avocado salad, seafood pasta and tiramisu with a lovely white wine as recommended :)

    Had cucumber salad and sea food salad, gnocchi and tagliolini with truffles. Flavors were amazing! Everything was so fresh and tasty. Tiramisu was tasty but not the best we have ever had so concentrate on the entrees. Service was excellent.

    Right from the minute we stepped we had a wonderful experience greeted by the owner/chef and his wife and led to a lovely courtyard table. The specials were delicious and the personal attention and explanations of the offerings enhanced the visit! We would highly recommend this restaurant!

    Loved our meal! Sit outside along the Arno! The cucumber salad was delicious and a nice change of pace from typical Italian food! My seafood pasta was very good as well. It was probably the best service we had in Florence.
