    Negroni and twist on Tom Collins
    Warren A.

    This place was soo good we came twice during our short stay in Florence. It has a speakeasy vibe as you have to ring the doorbell to get in. There is no cocktail menu just spirit's. You tell them what your in the mood for and they have gotten it perfect everytime. This place definitely rivals the top bars we have been to in NYC. The customer service was excellent as well as the 2 employees took time to decipher what kind of cocktail would be appropriate for what you were looking for.

    Not only the best cocktail/speakeasy bar in Florence, but possibly the best in the EU! Wonderful environment, service is top notch, and unique drinks individually paired to your preferences!

    If you are looking for a speakeasy in Italy, this is the place to come! Classic cocktails with a twist, for the better!Smoking the mint and carefully crafting the perfect aroma will make the cocktail come alive. A must try if you are by the Duomo!

    We arrived a little late for our reservation and they made a big show of considering whether to let…read moreus in. Which is fair except that there were no other customers there! Then they made us sit at a tiny awkward table in the corner due to missing the reservation time. Again, this is while the entire room and all normal tables were empty. Only a couple of people arrived over the next hour. The atmosphere was very cool and the drinks were strong and delicious but 24 Euros each. Mixed experience for sure. We probably would have loved it and stayed longer had they just given us one of the many empty normal tables instead of punishing us for no reason.

    Rasputin is not just a cocktail lounge, it is an entire experience…read more You've first got to make a reservation, then find the location, and once you step through the dark alleyway door you descend into an entirely new world. Lit almost entirely by candle light and furnished with antique furniture, this lounge is warm and intimate. You almost get the feeling that you've stepped into a 20's era cult gathering. Perfect for a date night or small get together. The cocktail selection includes some of the most intriguing and exotic ingredients you'll find in a drink, from soy sauce and Jerk Spice Seasoning to yoghurt and black pepper. They are primarily a whiskey bar but their cocktails run the gamut when it comes to spirit selections. If you find yourself passing through Florence you absolutely HAVE TO find time for even just one of these unique concoctions.

There is seating inside for maybe a dozen people but we chose to sit at one of the 3 small tables outside to enjoy the nice weather. Draft beer was $6 euro and the mixed drinks varied from $8-12 euro. We met Alycia who is one of the owners. She was very pleasant and friendly. We stopped for a drink and stayed for 3 hours. We also stopped for a 2nd happy hour on our last day in Florence. Worth checking out if you happen to be in town and want a quieter spot. We loved it.

    This small wine bar was by far one of my favorite places we visited while we were visiting…read moreFlorence. The owner and staff were fantastic, very knowledgeable and provided great recommendations. The wine bar itself is a small quaint little place. Probably seats about 12 to 15 people total and has plenty of windows so you can see passersby and people watch. The cheeseboard? Get the cheeseboard. They do a fantastic job of pairing everything together to really bring so many flavors to your tastebuds. Their house wine is phenomenal and they take great pride in finding the grapes/different varietals to make it come to life. They have a both a red and a white house wine option. The second time we went - and yes, we went more than once in the four days we were there - we enjoyed one of the sandwiches and it was absolutely amazing. The bread, I can't even explain, the bread it's so flavorful and so good and so light. That paired with the delicious meats and cheeses were 100% worth it. I definitely recommend this location to anybody who is visiting Florence regularly or for their first time.
