“ Cozy little bar with nice music, great drinks and the best bartender- Raúl. He will customise cocktails, give you good wine recommendations and will make sure you’re well taken care of and well fed with complimentary snacks and short eats. ”
“ As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, Ernesto made me the best mocktail I’ve ever had in my life. It was so good that I ended up drinking three of them My five friends were also obsessed with the drinks he made for them. Hands down, the best bartender in Florence ”
“ Great place. Extensive choice of cocktails. Sells alcohol, tea, coffee, food bites. Lovely inside, plays rock music.complementary crisps are a nice touch ”
“ Went here in the morning so I can’t comment on the late atmosphere. But, it was empty in the morning compared to other coffees in Firenze. So you get served pretty quickly which is a big plus. Couple of paninis and sandwich options but more than enough for people in a hurry. Staff/owners are nice so good option overall. ”
“ If you're looking for a good quality coffee with decent pricing just a bit outside the touristic area which locals usually go to and for a while, I highly suggest this place. I enjoyed my time talking to the manager (Lorenzo) who is a very knowledgeable and hospitable person. ”
