Stepping into Da Nicola, we were immediately enveloped by the warm ambiance. The attentive staff welcomes guests with genuine hospitality, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the seafood spaghetti.

Da Nicola is an amazing restaurant with amazing waiters like Islam. He was our waiter and he was amazing. And the others were great; like the greeter was super nice too, and that’s why I give service a 5 stars! Next food, I liked it because it tasted amazing. [My dad] had the gnocchi and it was great and my [brother and I] had steak and it was great. [My mom] had popper del and she said it was amazing, and that’s why I give the food 5 stars! Now for the atmosphere: it [has] an outside restaurant that had a nice see-through tarp and it’s right next to a restaurant called Zá Zá and the line was too long [at that restaurant when we arrived.] We saw a nice person calling us to have dinner at da Nicola, and it worked out perfect anyways: 5 stars! We loved it! Thank you, it really made our day feel better. Thank you again Islam and the greeter. Again, I loved it! Thank you, and more people should come! Thank you, and next time we come back to Florence we’re probably coming straight back! Thank you for giving us an amazing dinner!

Rich in Cultural Flair and Flavor:

The only thing better than superb food is outstanding service- Da Nicola offers both, in addition to a lively, relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant provided everything we were looking for on our final night in Florence: unbelievable flavors, beautifully plated meals, and warm, engaging service. We were waited on by 4 outstanding men, and elderly gentleman who lured us out of a ridiculous line next door, a charming man who may be the owner or manager, and two friendly younger men- all offering warm, amicable service.

I've ranked the meals below, but I promise they were all delectable. The Misto Di Polpo Alla ' Nicola' (Octopus prepared in various ways) was the star, it is a must-try. The Gnocchi Alla Picantina Livornese (homemade gnocchi with seafood) with pillowy gnocchi was rich in flavors and sooo satisfying. The Branzino con Patate E Verdure Al Forno (whole sea bass with potatoes and vegetables) may not sound like much but it was absolutely amazing. Especially after the owner/manager/most attentive server personally de-boned it and kept us laughing...
