    This has been our favorite meal in Italy so far, and we have eaten in some wonderful places. The service was impeccable, the food delicious, and such a nice comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend the tortelli stuffed with ricotta and spinach with Sorrento lemon cream. Definitely a do over.

    The food and wine the waiter recommended was very good. Service was great at first and then turned to being ignored, but that was just when waiting to pay.

    The service was impeccable. Our waiter was friendly, cheerful and attentive. The bistecca, although simple, was really delicious. The house wine was also wonderful. Ambience was serene and charming. Location was convenient to the railway station (and for us, to our accommodation).

    This little gem packs a huge punch on the your taste buds. Be ready for the flavor town express to rocket you to the happiest place on earth; pure heavenly bless for your mouth. We started with cuddle fish and octopus warm salad; whole in one amazing. Then we had some grilled veggies. You could taste the love. My wife had the homemade noodles with a meat sauce; out if this world greatness. Son got the margarita pizza, so good he didn’t share. My sister just got the chicken; but again done with love and quality ingredients- made a fantastic dish filled with great complexity and well developed flavors. I got the white sauce with mushroom and sausage- mind blown— best I hsve ever had. The chew, the crunch, the not too hot but not too cold, Complexity of mixing all together to gut the perfect pizza— it was made with love. This is a local neighborhood restaurant. The service fantastic.

    We loved this restaurant! It was recommended by a friend and we are so glad we came. The staff was amazing and they had a great selection of food and wine. The staff offered great recommendations as well. It was one of our favorite meals during our entire stay in Florence! We got the steak Florentine and the Cacio e Pepe.

    This is one of the best restaurants in Florence. I eat here every time I come to Florence. Francisco is a fantastic waiter and speaks English too. The steaks, pizza and pasta are excellent. Also, they have the cleanest bathroom in Italy. I definitely recommend this restaurant for traditional Tuscan food.

    Great food, quick service. Tables very close together but that didn’t bother me. They were offering free wine to those waiting in line. One of the better meals I had in Italy.

    We had bruschetta, house red wine, spaghetti with clam sauce., tiramisu. All very good. Also had tagliatelle with mushrooms which I didn’t like as much. We had a very nice relaxing dinner and I would eat here again.

    Very nice staff who was excellent at paying attention to our table and offer their service. Food was great and affordable, definitely worth a visit. The orange cream pasta was so interesting and good that we actually ordered a second one to share.

    We were exhausted from touring all day and almost didn’t go out but found this restaurant near our hotel. Well what a find! It was a cozy, charming and friendly place with delicious food. Just what we were looking for. My daughter had a specialty pizza, I had steak and a salad and my son had a delicious stew. Service was speedy and our server was wonderful. We also had a Fork coupon which they honored. Great choice, wonderful meal.

    From the moment you enter, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for a great meal. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, and the service is prompt and attentive. The menu is diverse, with classic Italian dishes prepared using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The pasta dishes, in particular, are outstanding, with rich and flavorful sauces that leave a lasting impression. The wine selection is also impressive, featuring a range of Italian wines that pair perfectly with the food. What sets La Cabbaccia apart is its attention to detail, evident in everything from the presentation of the dishes to the décor of the restaurant. The prices are reasonable, making it a great option for a special occasion or a night out with friends. Overall, La Cabbaccia is a must-visit restaurant for Italian food lovers.

    This restaurant was recommended to us and we were pleased it was. There was a good choice of food, service was great and the atmosphere was welcoming. We visited twice while in Florence which must surely be a good advert!

    We booked a table through The Fork as there was a discount of 20%. The reviews were good so we went for that. Once there, we were asked where we preferred to be seated (inside or outside) and we decided outside. 20 minutes went by without anyone coming to take out order (we were the only ones outside at the beginning, so it seemed that we were forgotten) we asked to sit inside and the reply was “no table available”. Anyway, we waited 20 minutes at the beginning to order, then the food came but not the wine and we had to remind them (again). Then, we waited approximately 15 minutes at an empty front desk to pay (and we were standing in front of the desk, with waiters walking here and there). So, to recap: food was very good! The meat and the other dishes ordered had a good quality and you could taste Tuscany there. But the service was really poor (I don’t know if it’s related to the booking done though The Fork with 20% off).
