I Locandieri In Empoli

17/01/2025: Superb address close to Piazza Santo Spirito. Typical dishes but revisited with top service! We would have liked more generous portions on all dishes :)

05/01/2025: Dalla Lola. It is a unique restaurant located near Peter's Palace. Personally, I felt like the food made with minced meat fried inside a small pasta dough was closer to a snack than a meal (it wasn't my taste). It has a salty taste and is served with mayonnaise sauce. It seems to go better with beer than wine. We ordered beef tongue (beef tongue) simmered for a long time with onions and various spices. This menu is also one of Florence's representative menus. It comes out a little like folded pork. (It tastes even better if you add some pepper.) The meat is soft because it is boiled for a long time, and it goes well with a glass of red wine after serving it on bread. For Dolce, I ordered half of the cheesecake and half of the black sesame chocolate cake. (You can order half of the cake.) Wow, this is a real thing. I don't have a huge preference for sweets, but the rich, thick taste of both cakes overwhelms my blood vessels. Cheesecake tastes like creamy cheese with a bit of sugar or honey, while black sesame chocolate cake has a slightly bitter and savory dark chocolate taste. Both have different charms, but in the end, both are delicious. Ah, if you look at the restaurant's menu, there is something unusual. Oriental elements were added. I like the open attitude that is not tied to Italian tradition, such as dishes using Japanese miso or Thai sauce. The staff are friendly. Each food menu is explained in detail in English. In particular, female employees have beautiful smiles that make people feel good. Food-flavored lip balm made by a female employee is also being sold, so if you are interested, please purchase it.
