We had a great dinner when in town for a conference. Walter was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed several antipastos and entrees- would highly recommend if in town! read more

Cacio Vino Trallallà - Wine Bars Near Me - Florence, FI

This place is a gem! Such great food and such great service! Walter and his wife are absolutely lovely people. We had the duck, ravioli, and yellow tomato pasta. All were absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend the fettunta, which is like bruschetta. Very tiny spot - only a few tables, but so good! The friendly service was truly the highlight! read more

Cozy spot with fantastic food and the kindest service. (Grazie Walter!) Great for an easy, classic Florentine meal. Don't miss the bruschetta. The name is slightly different than the name listed here -- Osteria Cacio e Vino. read more

10/10 recommend! Beautiful small restaurant. Went with my partner in our last night in Florence. Bummed we didn't find it earlier because we want to go again already. The fettunta was so good that we wanted seconds. The tenderloin was amazing! Desserts were delicious! Amazing meal! The waiter was so kind and his wife is the chef! So worth it!! read more

Very nice. Service excellent; was not expecting it as this place is tiny. Gnocci and cacio y pepe dishes were soooo good. The dolce's were the perfect stopper. read more

6 days into our Italy trip, and this was the best meal we have had. 8 clean plates (all different) and 3 desserts, all in a place small enough to feel like home. Walter, the only waiter, and his wife, who does all the cooking, take pride in serving nothing but a quality experience. The Muscovy duck and the Gnocchi were amazing, but every dish was a pleasure for the palate. Be sure you don't walk by this gem and if there's a line get in it quick.

It was a very long and cold day in Florence and we just needed a spot to have some dinner and get back to our warm comfy bed. Cacio Vino Trallalla was like a warm hug that we needed. The ambiance and service just went above and beyond that the food's mediocrity didn't bother me (there were some standouts). I will be back again if ever we get a chance to visit. L O C A T I O N After being thwarted by other spots being non-existent or just closed, we could Cacio Vino Trallalla. It's a fairly narrow spot which seems to be a trend in Italy where it feels like they were building between buildings. I N T E R I O R The smell of a warm home...that's all I can say about the interior. From the wines on the wall to the felt handmade menu covers. I appreciated all the tiny details they had that just added to this special spot. By all means you get very cozy as there isn't much space. Tables are close together and walk ways are not very wide. M E N U Truffles...truffles on everything. So expect having truffles. They have a fairly small menu which is good cause I don't like too many choices! ~ Tonno toscano su insalata con crema balsamico e pepe rosa ~ Basically a pork salad and when you say salad in Italy, expect radicchio. The balsamic dressing was a nice tang and simple as I like my salads pretty simple and not drenched in dressing. The pork is cooked so well and looks like tuna (thus why they call it tonno). The rose peppers also was a nice little spice and made the dish well rounded. ~ Ravioli di ricotta e spinachi con salsa di pecorino e noci e trufo fresco ~ Pasta is a must in Italy. Now was this the best pasta I've had? No. Was the truffles necessary? Not really. But it was a good pasta. The spot in Pisa we went to had a better pasta dish during our trip. ~ Trio of cakes - chocolate pear tart, blueberry cheesecake, lemon tart ~ We like samplers and this called to us. All homemade desserts of the day. The only thing that didn't have truffles actually...The plating of this was superb. I loved the wood block. Not one really stood out. I think we both liked the chocolate pear tart the best out of the three. But I could've done without the dessert, though....when on vacation, you must at least have a bite! S E R V I C E There were only us and another table in for dinner that night and they were ranting and raving about their food and their trip (yes you can hear everything, it's a small spot). Our server was fantastic. He described each dish and told us a preferred way to eat things. He wasn't pushy and was very informative and warm. He totally reminded me of some laid back folks here in the bay area. O V E R A L L Like I said, this place was a saving grace in the rough day we had standing 2 hours in line at Uffizi. The food was unique though feel like the truffles are a crutch. If you want a small romantic spot with really good service, this is your place. We will definitely be back. read more

Fantastico! I made the reservation on line and struck gold. Fabulous food fabulous service. Walter was our server and his wife was the chef. The restaurant is very small, only about six tables, so reservations are highly recommended. Wine list, although limited, had great options. I had the tenderloin with green peppercorn sauce and my husband had the pappardelle with duck. We finished with the chocolate soufflé. All were outstanding. Buon appetito! read more

We came here on a recommendation of a friend and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is owned by a husband and wife. Walter runs the front of the house and his wife (I'm sorry can't recall her name) is the chef. Service, food and ambiance is outstanding. We were a party of 9. Walter was attentive without being pushy. Everything we ordered delicious. We are returning to Florence in a few weeks and we will be back for another dinner! read more

Just around the corner from our hotel, our family had an outstanding dinner. Walter was a great host. One month after returning from Italy, this is one of the most frequently discussed experiences on our vacation. I highly recommend the restaurant and trust any suggestions from Walter. read more

Was looking for dinner late one night and this was right across from my hotel. At first glance it doesn't look like much- about 5-6 tables inside and very rustic. There was one server but she was very nice and helpful. After sitting down and ordering wine, we were given a piece of parmigiana in honey that was a nice start to the dinner. We split the antipasto for one person and it was more than enough for the two of us. For the main course I ordered the paccheri pasta that had zucchini and bacon in a cream sauce that was so rich. We also had the filet with caramelized onions and balsamic. I would highly recommend ordering that. The flavor was amazing and I couldn't stop eating it. At the end of the meal our server brought us our some limoncello that was very smooth and one of the better ones I've had. Definitely stop here if you're in Florence- one of the best experiences. read more

If all you get from this review is the first sentence, go try Cacio Vino Trallallà. We were in Florence for 3 nights and got this recommended from a friend. It was so pleasant and delicious that we ended up frequenting it twice! Once for dinner, once for wine and dessert. It is a very traditional Italian Osteria space, from what we gathered, it is owned and run by a married couple who has hired a server, Julia, to help out. Julia was our server and she was so kind and friendly. One thing to note is it seems like they changed the layout since some of the older reviews, I posted an updated photo of the inside. We got the meats and cheese for one to share, the Cacio e Pepe and the Potato Tortellini. Each dish was incredible but I would highlight the Potato Tortellini. I think that this could have been the best dish I had in Italy, could be personal preference, but that's my opinion! Everything else was amazing, the ambiance, wine, value, service, etc. I really can't say enough good things- especially if you like to find places off the beaten path. After dinner, try to go around the corner to the Ponte Vecchio bridge, we saw a great street performance to end the night! read more

Delicious wine and food! Best lasagna of my life, so creamy and delicious! Thomas suggested wonderful wines- the Bolgheri for a full bodied red and the Tufo Bianco for a full bodied white, he also took the time to explain the origins of the wine and seasonal truffles in the saffron and truffle risotto. Thomas explained to me the Tufo Bianco is a combination of Greco, Sauvignon and Trebbiano grapes and I loved the Tufo Bianco so much I took a bottle to bring back home with me. This place is worth a visit for great food and wine! read more

Absolutely truffles heaven, I ordered the pork which is really tender and tasty, very different than other Italian dishes. Definitely save room for dessert, the chocolate pear cake "with truffles" is excellent. On top of all that, they play the most wonderful jazz music all night long! read more

A restaurant of truffles! I love everything made with truffles, so we ordered the omelette with artichokes and truffles, and the warmed goat cheese with blueberries and truffles. Both were special and delicious! We also had the platter of cheeses and salami. The hostess was warmhearted and helpful, introducing all the cheeses and salami patiently to us. The salami with black truffles was my favorite. read more

I visited Florence with my friend, who had been there a couple of years ago. He said he had randomly went into Cacio Vino Trallalla by chance, and it ended up being a wonderful place run by fantastic people. His praise turned out to be an understatement. With the wonderful owners, great atmosphere, amazing wine, and delicious food, it turned out to be the best restaurant we visited in Florence, which is definitely saying something. Great place for dinner and conversation! read more

Searched the place, because it was recommended by the Capitool City Guide. It was said to be cheap, and also featured a "chocolate beer" dessert. Well they didn't have the chocolate beer, nor was it cheap. They do know alot about their wines and the staff was really friendly. The food was OK. My beef stew (20€), did not really have a "wow" factor, but tasted exactly like what I also cook at home. The risotto was very nice. Diner for two with 4 wines cost us 60€. read more

A small, gem of a restaurant. Cozy and quaint, and seemingly still under the tourist radar. The food here is wonderful, and as the server (singular - it's a very small restaurant) explains the dishes to you, you quickly know everything is made with great pride. I needed a longer trip so I could have eaten here multiple times! read more

If you crave truffles, this is the place. 4 courses, all with truffles. Very tiny, only 4 tables. Very hard to find. But very worth it. See photos. read more

This was one of the best meals of my life! I almost never write reviews but I couldn't help myself after tonight's meal. The waiter gently explained our wine options and how they paired with our dinner choice of salumi misti. When the food arrived he kindly asked if he could explain the varieties of meats and cheeses on the board, as well as a suggested order to eat them in. Not only was the food and wine delicious, our waiter made us feel special and the ambience was pure Italy! read more

Just One Word: Outstanding! I didn't understand the Stendhal syndrome in Firenze until I came here. Only four tables, only incredible prime products...You can smell the Tartuffo from the surrounding streets and you're called like in Hamelin tales. Every bite is more astonishing than the previous one. read more

This restaurant was absolutely fantastic. Very small only 6-8 tables but very good food. Owners were knowledgeable about both the food, history of the dishes and of course the local wines. Could not have asked for more. They should charge more. Perfecto molto bene read more

Just had wine and dessert. Both were great. Husband and wife both ran the place and were extremely nice. They spoke English well which was a plus. Will go back again when we are in Florence . read more

We reserved a table here for Valentines Day dinner. We were not disappointed. Wonderful food and service. We are new to Italy and the waiter patiently and graciously explained everything and even told us where the wines and food originated. Wonderful experience! read more

Very intimate (just four tables) friendly casual dining experience just North of Ponte Vecchio. Gracious hostess explained the menu in detail and guided us through the wine list. Splendid food. Split Eggplant Parmesan as a starter which was wonderful. My wife ordered the hearty artichoke pie which was fantastic. I had perhaps the best dish of my 2 week trip to Italy-truffle rissoto with blueberries. Yes, blueberries! Totally unique and delicious. You must order if available as it was a special of the day. The meal was topped off with a chocolate pear tart-unbelievably enjoyable. This is NOT a large place and is a bit cramped but the food and the owners are top notch. Must visit when in Florence. read more

I went here for my birthday with my boyfriend and it was hands down the best meal I've ever had in Italy (and one of the best in my life to be honest!) I had the white chocolate, beer and cheese dish which was an insanely delicious and interesting combination of tastes. I also had the pine nut and ricotta cheese ravioli with fresh black truffles which I'll dream about for the rest of my life. My boyfriend had the slow cooked pork dish and absolutely loved it as well. Because of its small size they only do two seatings a night so be sure to make a review - the husband and wife who run it couldn't have been lovelier and the small, homespun ambiance was perfect. This is the best culinary experience you'll have in Florence, a city all too overrun by tourist trap Italian restaurants. Oh, and I sent my friend's parents there a few weeks ago for their anniversary and they texted me immediately raving that it was the best dinner of their lives. Don't hesitate - eat here ASAP! read more
