Osteria Cavolo Nero In Empoli

13/03/2026: Nice atmosphere, excellent food and price

27/09/2025: There were three of us, and when we walked in, we had to wait for the people who arrived before us to decide before we got the menu. They have this little chalkboard above the tables, which is a nice idea, but it would be more convenient to have a large one inside and outside with the specials of the day, etc. We didn't know what was available before we walked in, but they focus on pizzas, making these pizza rolls. They've invented something new, and it's good, although I won't comment on that because I'm not a fan. Anyway, the place is nice, especially in the summer. There's an outdoor counter for aperitifs and a mini concert. The inside space is large, but it's too dark, gray and white, lacking that touch of liveliness characterized by color or elements that could make the rooms more pleasant, not only to look at the dishes but also to physically sit there. The waiters are nice and helpful, although they should print more menus because otherwise the customer waits too long and the dinner or lunch becomes heavy. Anyway, here's the menu.
