The story of the Da Nicola Carne & Pesce restaurant originates from the experiences of one who can skillfully transform basic ingredients into great works of art. Chef Nicola Dolfi has been a cook in Florence for over 40 years and has travelled the world as a teacher bringing his authentic ‘Florentinity’ to every experience and dish he has created ..

Dining at “Da Nicola” means emerging oneself in the authentic taste experiences of Tuscan cuisine which date back to old family recipes passed on from one generation to another. This is based on the philosophy that if one knows how to cook well there is no need to modernize or restyle that which is good and tasty.

Nicole’s admirers are tourists and Florentines who are capable of appreciating the perfect balance of flavours of typical Florentine dishes often composed of very few but genuine ingredients. Many originated as peasant dishes but have become delicacies appreciated all over the world.
