Just to note, they do have regular meals available too. We ordered a jug of the White Sangria (which came out along with a trio of nuts and bread for us to nibble on). Their tapas menu is divided into two - half italian and half spanish, which was perfect. We ordered the seafood paella, the avocado, cucumber and feta salad and the bruschetta will grilled vegetables. All very delicious and the flavours worked really well together! I went inside and complimented the Chef (Manuel) who didn't speak an ounce of English but welcomed the compliments all the same (the waitress managed to translate what i was unable to). Manuel then sent out a small plate of biscotti for us as a sign of appreciation which was just lovely and very unexpected. I have to say that I am surprised that before my review I was unable to find this restaurant on Yelp, but feel incredibly honoured to pop this little baby up here so no one else misses out on the delicious food here! You can get pasta and pizza everywhere, so it is nice for a change of pace. Bravo!

This was a great alternative to traditional Italian food after being in Florence for a week…read more Spanish tapas seem to draw a more local crowd. There was seating at a small bar, small high boy tables in the front, and traditional table seating in the back (past the kitchen). Sangria was yummy, with a full cinnamon stick but no fruit slices. In any case, I'd recommend a liter for two people. Service was great. They didn't mind that we took our time. I never felt rushed. By 9pm there was a wait, so come early. Not a great place for large groups, but parties of 4 or less won't have a problem.

Located near Florence's attractions in the city center, this restaurant provides a nice respite for tourists and locals looking for a quick bite--the tasty food came at an amazing value, though the service seemed a bit standoffish.

The management is young and the rooms are modernly furnished, with many Spanish-like references. We sat on a light colored wooden table, in the background room near the kitchen and the waiter tempted us with a multiple dishes deal that would let us taste up to the 70% of the whole menu, that is composed by 20ish different small plates (AKA tapas) with both seafood and meat, or vegetarian choices. So we tried their way, together with a sangria carafe and a virgin-cocktail with ginger beer for me (superdelicious). The tapas I liked the most were Tortilla of the day (with potatoes and leeks), tomato bread, fried cheese with almonds and jam and the shrimps. The classics like the octopus gallega style and the squids were not very tasty neither soft. There are a few things to improve, like a wi-fi is definitely needed, they should give the Tap water option since they only have small bottles available, and most of all they have to master the way of cooking the seafood. Thumbs up for the fact our clothes didn't smell that much even if we were next to the kitchen and the outdoor tables that will be a refreshing way of spending the summer happy hour!

We can here for a quick drink and found this place to be fun and hip...modern meets Italy!…read moreSurprisingly the place was empty on a Valentine's Day but we had a good time for our first nights drink. The drinks are made well and priced right. The service is friendly and accommodating for Italian standards. The only issue I had was there was only one bathroom which for a busy restaurant that can be a big problem. Otherwise we would definitely recommend this place for drinks!! Bottom line..come for a drink here if you are looking for something more modern and fun. It also could be a good place to just have light bites. Pros Drinks Light bites Modern vibe Friendly service Nice location Cons Only one bathroom

This place is beautiful, totally hipster (one of these many new hipster places in Florence totally…read morerenewing the old tratoria / osteria landscape), and the atmosphere is very festive - a bit noisy for sure but nice. It is 100% a "cool" place. And as such, they have developed this very characteristic symptom of coolness (evidence of this disease all over Europe) of "we do not accept reservation". Understand "we are so cool that we know you will wait". And i did. But i did once. I had a very nice moment and enjoyed the atmosphere a lot, especially on a saturday night. But the food did not convince me enough to have me wait again for so long. It was good but nothing spectacular. Probably i am not cool enough. So, what did we eat? Some salmon, with very very dry rice: i did not like at all. Some anchovies with spinach and burrata: this one i liked a lot, i find the alliances of these different ingredients very tasty. A falafel: it was ok, nothing special. Then for dessert, the mini bombe were good and the panna cotta was very good too. To sum up, the dessert were very good but i was not very impressed by the other tapas and even disliked one. Still worth going for this very cool atmosphere (and if you do not mind waiting). Writing those lines i realize that maybe i'll wait again once...

But the drinks were incredible, and strong if I must say so. A lot better than some bars in Florence. The food was pretty good, and so far the only place I've been to where I could get good salsa. Then the prices were unreal, they gave us students discounts so we didn't even spend that much. Maybe €20 a person for a meal, a drink, a shot, etc. then at the end of the night they gave us free chips and salsa with guacamole (probably to make us thirsty), but that was ok because we just ordered more drinks. But around 12, we had to move our tables because they have a dance floor and Dj that is set up. The music was fun, and the men weren't too creepy. So if your looking for a great place to have dinner and drinks with friends, this is where you should go; however, make sure you call and make a reservation if it's a Friday or Saturday though.
