The Wine Cellar
The wine cellar provides an exclusive context at La Carabaccia, for an exquisite tasting, romantic dinner or an important work meeting, in a supremely elegant atmosphere.
The building, which dates back to early 1600s, reveals striking vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors and pillori, inimitable niches set between the walls expertly built in stone from the river Arno.
This beautiful setting, including the original coat of arms of noble Florentine families, provides a unique backdrop for conserving our Tuscan red wines and other varieties selected from over one hundred renowned Italian labels.
Our history
The history of La Carabaccia begins in the early 1900s, when it is established as a fiaschetteria, just a short distance from the banks of the Arno river A customary meeting place for the renaioli – the river sand workers – and artisans, the fiaschetteria offered tasty spuntini (snacks), such as crostini and fettunte (bread spread with olive oil), always accompanied by an excellent, fragrant glass of wine.
In 1972, the establishment was turned into a trattoria serving typical Tuscan cuisine, earning an international reputation as a locale offering fine food. The name Carabaccia refers in part to an ancient boat that once sailed on the Arno transporting sand and salt, and it is also derived from the name of a delicious soup, today one of the specialties on our menu, whose recipe dates back to the kitchens of the Medici family, the dukes of Florence.
In 2007, La Carabaccia was turned into a restaurant, with larger dining spaces, a 50 sq. m. kitchen and excellent service. The typical Tuscan menu has been supplemented with various culinary innovations. The traditional flavors of our cuisine remain intact, as does the warm ambiance that have made the locale an unfaltering standard of excellence for the city of Florence.
