    At the risk of sounding a bit crazy, after several days in Italy, my wife and I needed something other than typical Italian fare. What happened next when encountering Cloud 59 was completly unexpected and a very plesant surprise. Not only did we find fantatistic food in the form of chicken, burgers and fries which I had little hope for, the burger and fries I had ranked amongst the very best I have ever had, anywhere. The charming and quaint atmosphere was perfect, with great service, and a passionate owner who is just an great guy all around. We were very fortunate to get to meet Alex, and learn about his business and journey due to it being late and in the "off" season. Do yourself a favor If you are in Florence and need a break from pasta and pizza, or just flat want an amazing burger or traditional style American chicken dish, absolutely look no further and check out Cloud 59. In a very saturated Florence restaurant scene they have been around for several years now and for very good reason. We have great wines, lemon pepper chicken, and truffled burger. The Cloud 59 sauce is amazing as well. The fires were cooked and seasoned perfectly. And all at very reasonable and affordable prices. Couldn't find a single thing to complain about which is very rare today in the culinary seen. So fortunate to have stumbled upon this gem this evening.

    Easy to find about a block away from McDonald's.

    Despite all the fantastic food in Florence, occasionally an American just needs a burger and fries to get grounded again. This is the place! The Mediterranean burger was so flavorful, with crispy-perfect fries on the side. Our waiter was attentive and the owner came out to share stories. Sooo glad this restaurant made it through COVID. We'll be back next time we're in Florence.

    Sorry I should've taken a picture before I took a bite!!! Delicious!!!

    Sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do...! Love Italy! I have been enjoying pasta cheese soups just everything but sometimes you just need a good old fashion burger After a fabulous concert I just so happen to pass this restaurant so I googled it, it is been rated the number one in Florence so I had to try!! I will have to say it is absolutely delicious!!! Don't hesitate I had The Mediterranean fabulous!!! They make a homemade spicy mayonnaise spicy ketchup with all the delicious flavors of Tuscany. Enjoy! You won't have a burger like this in the US!

    Sooooo my husband and I were homesick on our trip to Italy and we found this burger place!! And lemmmeeee tell you Alex knows what he is doing. I've seriously never had a better burger. We got two different burgers and a salad and I can't stop thinking about these patty's. You could seriously taste the quality. I know you thinking burgers in Italy???????? And YESSSS this place is a must try! Thanks again Alex! We will be back!

    Plenty of toppings and ohhhhhh so good.

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.

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.

The outside signs are all about the wine tasting and that was something I was not interested in. None of my group was actually into that either but they didn't want to wait to sit at the place we meant to go and this place had availability at that moment. We sat at the large wine barrel table at the front door because there were 4 of us and I felt a way since I was told to make sure not to block other guests. Then why put us here? I'm getting even more mad. Thankfully, I was completely wrong. Once we sat and one of the lovely sisters came to speak with us, I knew this was going to be a good time. They both were so gracious and knowledgeable, but also friendly and super funny. We didn't get the wine tasting but I heard them giving the people behind us one and I actually think I would have enjoyed it as well. The cocktails we did get were strong and delicious. With hosts like these, I'd come back here all the time.

    November 9, 2024 2:30PM…read more It does appear they have two stalls on the same street that you can order from. One side seemed to have more alcohol on display and the side I was on was more sandwich focused, but I'm pretty sure you can order the same things from both windows. Initially I was going to get the 21 - Fresh Sausage and Eggplant because I'm an eggplant lover... the lady at the counter was kind enough to let me know that the fresh sausage is actually rare, uncooked sausage and gave me a small piece to try. I was getting ready to get on a train that day and didn't want something that might not sit well with me, so I moved on to number 27 spicy salami and cream cheese. My partner got the number 1, ham, cream cheese and rocket salad. Both are very good sized and oh so delicious. The line moved quickly, so many options for decision paralysis. This is the place for schiacciate Florentine as recommended from friends who used to live here. Definitely would recommend to study up their menu before coming so it's easier to pick what you want. This is more of a stall and you grab and go, we stood around the sidewalk and inhaled our sandwiches. Watch out for the pigeons getting ready to take your crumbs too, you can see them on the ledge of the building getting ready to attack. A must visit for Florence.

I told the European couple that it wasn't fair that the server took our table to give to them and they just smiled and dismissed me. Racism at its finest. Their sandwich is not good. Actually the sandwich shop across the street I' Grone De Ghiotti is way better with service and sandwich taste. Sadly I don't think this post will change the attitude of the owner.
