La Chicca is a contemporary Tuscan restaurant in Sant'Ambrogio, Florence. The classics are done properly: steak, fresh pasta made in-house every day (the butter and truffle tagliolini is the dish people keep coming back for), and focaccia, soft and warm, baked in-house every day. Fresh seafood comes from the Tuscan coast, and our kitchen gets creative with it in ways a traditional seafood restaurant wouldn't: lobster linguine, lobster tacos. With the Sant'Ambrogio market just steps away, we cook with the seasons: fresh vegetables every day, and off-menu specials that change daily. La Chicca stands where the Maramao once was, the historic Florentine nightclub where, for years, people fell in love and made memories they still carry with them. In Italian, a "chicca" is a small, precious thing — a hidden gem. That's what we wanted to be in Sant'Ambrogio: a little corner where you can unwind. We didn't want customers, we wanted guests.
