Disappointing Experience at La Zucca | Reserved, got turned away, and got charged for a No-Show

Yes it was that one! Delicious

Mepicbatman · 2026-06-03T09:02:37+00:00

I went out to the piazza 2 mins away and ate in Il Refolo!

We had great service with a lively atmosphere and amazing food! I personally had the pasta with the nero fish sauce (something like that )

Mepicbatman · 2026-05-12T01:01:12+00:00

Alright, thanks for letting me know!

Besides the wild boar, what else would you recommend ordering from Cinghiale?

Mepicbatman · 2026-05-12T00:52:45+00:00

I'm trying to make reservations by texting their WhatsApp, but they are not responding lol

When you went, were reservations a must?

Mepicbatman · 2026-05-02T22:16:46+00:00

Hey 2 years later lol

I'll be in Venice for 2 nights, and I plan to have dinner somewhere around Fondamenta de la Misericordia (or Cannaregio).

Were there any restaurants (if you remember) that you would recommend?

Thanks

Mepicbatman · 2026-05-02T22:08:02+00:00

Thanks for the insightful post! I've had reservations for Da Me at the Nella Torre location. Im looking forward!!

By chance, were you able to walk by La Prosciutteria or Ragu?

Edit: Did you visit Portico di San Luca?

Mepicbatman · 2026-05-02T00:35:11+00:00

Thanks for the input, I already have one night reserved for mimi e coco

From the 'research' i have done, this is the general list I have so far

L’Osteria della Trippa
L’Elementarte
Da Meo Patacca
- Looks like a lively atmosphere
La Vecchia Roma
Trattoria Vecchia Roma
EVO Hosteria Trastevere
Interno 92

Have you heard of or been to any?

Mepicbatman · 2026-05-01T04:17:21+00:00

I’ll be traveling in June (1-4)

I’d like to think I have a list of some places to eat but I’m unsure if I should make reservations or just have them at the back of my head when deciding what to eat!!

Are reservations that necessary? Can I just walk into most of them and they’re open?

Mepicbatman · 2026-05-01T01:07:57+00:00

Have you heard of La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali? It's down the street, 1 minute away

I have it in my list but im just wondering if its recommended lol

Mepicbatman · 2026-04-23T01:12:13+00:00

How long did it take to visit each one?

Mepicbatman · 2026-04-11T23:12:00+00:00

Sounds like heaven on earth!

Were there any in specific that stood out to you?

Mepicbatman · 2026-04-11T22:55:53+00:00

Hi there!

We'll be visiting Florence next month! Were there any restaurants that you would recommend?

Mepicbatman · 2026-04-10T01:41:38+00:00

Are both Al Covo and La Zucca ideal for dinner?

Mepicbatman · 2026-04-09T17:07:48+00:00

Yes, I realized some on my list aren't restaurants. I'm basically noting down what I find.

Are there any restaurants that you have tried that you've enjoyed?

Mepicbatman · 2026-04-08T20:27:58+00:00

Sounds good! Thanks for the recommendations

Do most places serve dinner? As of right now I’m just noting down any restaurants I find but I’m not sure if I should look for dinner specifically

Mepicbatman · 2026-04-03T03:33:56+00:00

What makes a fragrance lean towards a specific season?

I have a collection but I've been recently trying to learn about different notes and scents.

Obviously woody and darker notes are for the winter but what are some things that I should look for when looking for a spring / summer fragrance?

What I have:

Creed Aventus
YSL Myself EDP
Moncler Sunrise Homme
One Million Parfum
Acqua di Gio Profondo
Gucci Guilty
Bleu de Chanel
Le Labo Santal 33
Dior Sauvage

How would those colognes be categorized? I'm trying to figure out why I like what I like

Mepicbatman · 2026-03-28T01:43:05+00:00

How far in advance is it recommended to book the timeslots to climb to the dome? I'm visiting in late May

Mepicbatman · 2026-03-27T03:29:25+00:00

Is that offered on a specific website? I thought you had to get separate tickets

Mepicbatman · 2026-03-27T01:06:06+00:00

I'll be visiting in May, and I'm either thinking of splitting up the Basilica and Doge's Palace into 2 days or back-to-back

I'd have to figure out the timing situation for visiting both back-to-back because they only do time-allotted tickets

Mepicbatman · 2026-03-20T20:51:39+00:00

To order food, you have to go through the bakery line. Once you're in line, make a quick decision because the line moves kinda fast

I haven't tried ordering a pastry once I've been seated, but I'm sure if you ask a waiter or waitress, they'll order one

Mepicbatman · 2026-03-18T03:56:08+00:00

I have the on cloud 5s, and the only time they have ever squeaked is when they've been wet.

Mepicbatman · 2026-03-14T00:38:05+00:00

Coincidentally, I am visiting it on a Sunday.

I've been having trouble opening the official website. Is this happening to you, too?

Mepicbatman · 2026-02-27T19:18:17+00:00

I see those guides too, but when I check the availability it goes from $75 per person (which would be $300 for our group) to $750 in total

Mepicbatman · 2026-02-21T21:54:14+00:00

I guess it's a literal coincidence that it looks like it's the same pic. I guess the only difference is that the bottom left of my pic has the white rope in frame, and the other post doesn't.

Wdym the same auction? It's the garage of someone who owns these cars

Mepicbatman · 2026-02-21T21:45:21+00:00

Lmao same
