EXCELLENT Based on 1589 reviews Posted on Google Joanna KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While walking along the Cathedral in Florence with my boyfriend, we stumbled upon a little side street with just a few tables and umbrellas outside. What immediately caught our attention was that there were no pushy promoters trying to convince people to come in — which was already a great sign. Without thinking twice, we decided to sit down, completely unaware that we had just discovered such a fantastic and well-loved local restaurant. A few moments later, a very friendly waiter came over with the menus, which offered plenty of traditional Florentine specialties. We didn’t have to think for long and decided to try the Florentine-style tripe — trippa alla fiorentina, served in a rich tomato sauce. And oh my goodness… what a surprise! I know tripe might sound absolutely disgusting to many people, but trust me — this was an incredible dish. Rich, comforting, full of flavour and absolutely delicious. At least at Osteria Nolarium, they know exactly how to make it! The portions aren’t particularly large, but the prices are absolutely fair and reasonable. We also ordered a glass of wine recommended by our waiter, and for dessert we went for tiramisu and pana cotta. The tiramisu was excellent (still the best we’ve had in Italy), but the pana cotta completely stole our hearts. It was unbelievably creamy and perfectly smooth, served with a delicious chocolate sauce. Honestly, there are no words — it was simply divine. Everything about the experience was wonderful: the charming little location, the friendly service, the traditional food and that lovely feeling of having accidentally discovered a place that wasn’t even on our original plan. The only downside? I live 2,000 km away from Osteria Nolarium… and honestly, that feels like a tragedy now. 😂 If you’re visiting Florence, do yourself a favour and stop by Osteria Nolarium. Sometimes the best restaurants are the ones you find completely by accident. 🇮🇹❤️Posted on Google helena gajbertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Wir hatten ein grossartiges Mittagessen in der Osteria Nolarium! Ruhig in einer Seitengasse mit Domblick gelegen, bietet das Restaurant ein tolles Angebot an leckeren toskanischen Spezialitäten. Sehr zu empfehlen!Posted on Google Ali MohammadiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really enjoyed the food here. The restaurant is a bit hidden, just across from the Duomo (Florence Cathedral), but definitely worth finding. Tried the pappardelle with wild boar, tortellini with truffle, ossobuco, fish, and a mixed salad. The pappardelle with wild boar was excellent, and the tortellini with truffle was amazing and definitely recommended. The Villa Antinori wine was very good and paired really well with the meal. Also had a couple of glasses of Banfi Centine, which were very enjoyable. For dessert, the chocolate soufflé and tiramisu were amazing. Definitely recommend saving room for dessert. Great food, good wine, and a nice atmosphere. It is a bit on the higher end price-wise, but overall a really enjoyable Tuscan meal in Florence.Posted on Google Josefina PrietoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
