They begin the day with everything from classic cornetti, to croissants, to whole wheat or even multigrain varieties, ham and cheese sandwiches, cinnamon raisin rolls, danishes, donuts, turnovers and cookies. Obviously the pastries are of the Italian, not American style. I often feel that when writing reviews in English, something really does get lost in the translation. I digress. The coffee is amazing. At lunch they offer a whole spread of pastas, vegetable dishes, meats, fish and sandwiches. It's antipasto bar or tavola calda style, where you choose from food that's already freshly prepared and displayed. The prices are fixed by dish (primo, secondo, contorno) and range from about 5-8euro. For aperitivo they offer one of the most abundant buffets in the area, and the cocktails (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) are refined and super tasty. You tell them if you want something sweet, fruity, dry, your favourite flavour, etc and they surprise you. They have a nice selection of wines and prosecco available as well. Beware, they close at 8:30 sharp so get there early to really enjoy the buffet.

One of two shops owned locally by Simone Bartolini, once manager of The Uffizi Gallery Cafe, it is inside that guests will find savories as well as sweets matched to Coffee or Wine, everything carefully crafted such that Pistachio Cornetti shatter to the tooth while Nutella Brioche is soft and springy. Offering both traditional and filled Sfogliatelle, not on par with Naples but nonetheless enjoyable, Torta di Riso fares well thanks to a delicate shell while a Ricotta Tart likens Basque Cheesecake thanks to a bit of char.

We saw what looked like the most delicious pastry we had ever seen in the window, went inside, ordered it and proceeded to devour the absolute best pastry on this Earth. Sound like a hyberbole? It's not. In the 3 days we were in Florence, we ate this pastry 3 times. By our 3rd time in, the nice women who worked there let us know when they closed in case we would be back. We would have been, but our train to Venice was on a Sunday and they sadly are closed that day. We can't remember what the pastry was called but we took a picture of it. Here is my tip, buy a ticket to Florence, go to Forno Canapa, show them this picture and buy this pastry.
