Verdoliva

Verdoliva is an Italian and Tuscan trattoria with a welcoming, informal atmosphere in the heart of Santa Maria Novella. The room feels relaxed and bright, with a style suited to a casual lunch or dinner in central Florence.

The menu focuses on pasta, meat dishes, and regional specialities, with well-liked plates such as octopus, duck carpaccio, and truffles appearing among the most appreciated choices. The kitchen stands out for generous, well-finished dishes that keep a clear connection to local flavours.

Its identity comes from the combination of traditional Tuscan cooking, a central location, and a setting that is pleasant for a simple, unhurried meal.
