One of the must tries when in Florence. This almost 50 year old restaurant has such beautiful deco and provides a lovely ambience to wild an afternoon lunch away. The restaurant looks small from the outside but as you enter, it winds and twists into deeper cosy spaces… that seats almost 100. We had pasta, rabbit, tartare paired with delicious cocktails. A beautiful afternoon. Would love to visit again.

Super good pasta and pizza, I had the pasta that has white sauce (idk the name) and my husband had the spicy pizza, we loved both, great presentation, great price. Cheaper than olive garden, and way better.

If you’re looking for a dining experience that feels like a warm embrace, look no further than ZaZa. My time there has consistently been exceptional, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The brunches are nothing short of fabulous, especially the cherry rosemary scones. They strike the perfect balance with their soft interiors and textured crust, making each bite a delight—not overly sweet, but just right.
What truly sets ZaZa apart is its family-owned charm. When you step through the doors, you’re not just a customer; you’re treated like a member of the family. This personal touch transforms your meal into an experience where you feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated.
I’ve tried various dishes, and there’s not a single item I haven’t loved. So why wait? Head to ZaZa for your next meal, and discover why it’s a local gem that exceeds all expectations!

Cliff notes: this wasn’t what I was expecting re a relaxing Italian place but that had pros and cons. They only do counter ordering so it makes it feel a bit impersonal but on the plus side you aren’t paying a service yo charge in the form of a tip.
Ordering: the menu isn’t that big. The person who took my order was not unfriendly but she was also not warm and hospitable
Food was delivered relatively quickly. My boyfriend got the baked Mac and cheese. I thought it had some unique flavors and was very tasty. I got some sort of white pasta that was fine but did not stand out. I probably would have added some pepper or red hot pepper but there is absolutely nothing on the table to add flavor. Also the pastas didn’t seem to have any meat so I thought they were a bit overpriced
Just know if you want to feel like you are at a warm trattoria this isn’t the place, but you may still have an enjoyable meal if you know what to expect

Really good lunch spot we stopped into! The pizza and pasta were both delicious. We got the baked mac n cheese which was delicious with the goat cheese, and the ragu which could’ve used a bit more meat but was tasty. Service was friendly and the outdoor seating was lovely!! Would definitely come here again.

Menu is similar to ones in Italy. They have pizza by the slice, however we ordered a whole Sicilian pizza and it was amazing. Also loved the croquettes as well as their Negroni cocktail. We will definitely be back!

Forgot to take a photo before I started eating. I ordered the fettuccine cacio e pepe. Absolutely amazing! Everything was 5 out of 5 – service and food!

We took advantage of an opportunity to go out for a family dinner on Monday evening, and Zaza was an easy choice. We arrived at about 6:30 to a lively but not packed restaurant. We took our time ordering but finally settled on food choices and decided to sit out on their street patio. We ordered a lot of food, knowing we’d bring some home. It can out quickly too, thanks to the always-friendly staff. I got the Fettuccine Garlic-Pecorino cream which was delicious. My wife got the Monday special Sweet Pea Falafel and it was the table favorite. It had fresh veg and the tzatziki had the perfect light tang. The Spinach & Arugula salad had chunks of tender chicken and thick slices of golden beets among tender greens. With the crushed pistachios on top, it was a texture and flavor winner. We also got a whole Porkalicious pie and it was loaded with meat. The crust was thick and crisp on bottom – just right. For dessert we got the tiramisu and strawberry shortcake. Those roasted strawberries make it a special treat. We all thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back.

Delicious pizza and properly made salad(dressed, seasoned and tossed), at a very reasonable price.
