What to Eat in Florence’s City Center? 🇮🇹 Try ZàZà!

This restaurant has very polarizing reviews on Xiaohongshu. Today, I’m sharing my thoughts too. I’ve lived in Florence for a year, and my taste and lifestyle have become quite Italian, so take my opinion as you will. 📍 Location : It’s super centrally located, close to the train station and not far from the Florence Cathedral. Perfect for tourists! 🍃 Ambiance : They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I personally prefer the indoor area—it’s more charming. The decor is very Renaissance-inspired. Whether it’s the food or the people, you can take great photos without even trying! 🍽️ Dishes : 🍈 Prosciutto and Melon : A classic Tuscan specialty! Definitely worth a try! 🦞 Lobster Pasta : It’s quite delicious. Many people ask if the lobster is fresh. It’s definitely frozen, as Florence isn’t by the sea. Also, Italian food regulations are stricter than what we’re used to back home—you can’t just keep live lobsters in a tank and cook them on demand. 🍜 Bolognese Pasta : Yummy! I think it’s made with ground beef. I chose the wide noodles, and they were really good! 🍗 Fried Chicken : It’s pretty standard. Squeeze some lemon juice on it for the classic Western touch, but I personally like it with ketchup. 🥗 Salad : Stick to ones without olives to avoid any surprises. My friend can’t eat a meal without vegetables, so we ordered a salad. 🍷 Wine : The waiter recommended it. He asked about our budget and flavor preferences. We went with a bottle for 40€. 🔔 Tip🔔 : Definitely make a reservation! You can book online through Google Maps or call. I suggest eating outside of peak hours. In Italy, lunch is from 12-3 PM and dinner from 7-10 PM. So, if you eat around Chinese meal times, you can avoid the crowds. Compared to Chinese food, Western meals are quite light. To be honest, this place is pretty good in terms of location, ambiance, dishes, and even service. 💰 Average Cost : 25€+ (includes service charge) ⚡️ Trattoria Zà Zà #ItalianCuisine #RomanticRestaurant #RestaurantRecommendation #AmbienceRestaurant #Italy #Florence #FlorenceRestaurant #FlorenceRestaurantRecommendation #FlorenceTravel #FlorenceFood
