Looking for a great spot for apertivo in Florence? This is it. Cocktails are 12e and up and a house wine is 8e. They put out a spread of food that while it isn't really supposed to replace dinner, it easily could. After about 9 the place is full of young locals lined up for brimming plates of food. Personal favorite by far is coccoli frito with stracchino cheese, basically round balls of fried, salted pizza dough. It's crazy addicting and was served both nights I went there. Just one item on a bar top groaning with pasta and veggies and more. Tip: go a little early for a great seat near the bar read more

Service is horrible here and everyone doesn't smile, most of them look unhappy. The only reason why I'm giving it 2 stars is because the food was good. read more

This is the second time I have been to this establishment. I had lunch yesterday with a friend who recommended this place. The food is 5 out of 5. I had spaghetti yesterday and told I have the gnocchi with scampi. This dish had a kick and was very delicious and filling. Service is very relaxed as the locals can sit for long time I had my pasta and cocktail and finished my meal within a hour. Ambiance was great as I was sitting outside and people watching. read more

We tried to to to a restaurant and they wouldn't seat us inside. I think the restaurant was called Concerto. They had a piano player. So we left and found Colle. A great host sat us. We ordered a pizza for the table that was really good. My son had pasta, I had Greek salad and my wife had the Exotic salad. Everything was great. They also were playing Los Angeles music. Lovely place. read more

Went to see the Duomo prior to our concert and stopped by for a drink and appetizers. it was a wonderful that They sat us down immediately without reservations. We sat outdoors and the vibe was great. I ordered an aperol spritz with a taco from the starters menus. It was delicious. My only complaint was that it was only "one" taco for 14€. It came with a small amount of lettuce that was wilted. But the taco was amazing. My friends had a plate with cheeses and meat. A little overpriced for the plate but it was delicious. . Service was excellent, the host was very friendly and the Vibe and liveliness made it all worth while. Will return. read more

Amazing aperitivo spread! The price is about the same as all the other main aperitivo spots- 12 Euros will get you a drink and an amazing buffet of meats, salads, sandwiches, and carbs galore. They kept coming out with more dishes as well- I couldn't stop going back up and filling my plate with new items to try. All were amazing, and the drinks were good too. It gets quite crowded as well here. read more

This place is vastly overpriced and the service is not that great. Instead, go to the Cafe Odeon/Odeon Bistrot next door - they have more reasonable prices and better service. read more

Me and my wife spend our 1 year anniversary at Italy and we had a few days in Florence and this spot I must say was amazing. Vibe was great along with the food and service. Definitely had that awesome Euro cafe/nightclub vibe and the servers were great. We came here twice because one time was just not enough. read more

Went around 7:30 for aperitivo- it was a set 10 euro, and you chose any drink off the menu and were allowed endless options from the buffet. Service was some of the worst I've ever had, the waitress was rude, snobby and disrespectful- she did not care at all about serving us. It took us 20 minutes to even flag her down to get order drinks and then another 25 before they arrived. The atmosphere was fun and chic, and the drinks and food were good, especially for the low price. Options at the buffet were all very good and changed throughout the night, it included thin pizzas, various salad dishes, mini sandwiches, etc read more

The service on the patio is really poor. Asked to pay bill since the waiters were changing, which was fine but when reordering more drinks was told by the old waiter to wait for the new one, the the old waiter goes around the entire patio and cleans all the tables and does not pass the message to the new waiter to take my order. Very poor service, never thought any place would be this bad. read more

Juicy aperitivo for this famous Florentine bar, located in central city, next to monuments, movie theater, disco club, night bars. Trendy, posh, quite pricey, has a very good service, cocktails are nicely done and food is various and abundant. It's also possible to rent the second floor which is a private room with its own bar, for parties or other events. Very dark mood, low lights ambiance and lounge music. read more

Food-wise it was a good aperitivo. There was plenty of food, and very diverse things, with new arrivals frequently so that the second time you go (there is always a second time), you find new dishes. Food served even includes meat and sometimes fish, let's say expensive stuff (proteins!). I had tasty pappa al pomodoro, a rice salad with salmon, some paté, shares of a rather good pizza... As you can see a lot of choice - and rest assured that i did not taste everything so there were even more things. Given quality, diversity, and quantity, the price of 10 euros for wine and aperitivo was really ok! Now I have to say that i did not like the atmosphere too much which was a bit too disco for me, with very loud music and regularly some flash lights in my face (how weird is this idea, you are eating at 21h and suddenly BAM huge aggressive light in your face like the police is searching for you in a disco?!). I felt a bit like I was having aperitivo in Ibiza. The place is also very convenient before going for a movie at Odeon as it is located just across the street. read more

Really nice bar and outside deck seating area. The God father scotch whiskey was really smooth. Came here for a pre wedding event with a large group. There was buffet style aperitivo going on. The food wasn't the best but they had some good selections. The tiny pizza slices, the pork ribs, cream rice, sausage/hot dogs and little pastry buns were good, but others not so much. I really like the bar though. The music was good, the waiters were nice and they made really nice drinks. Overall it's really a nice relaxing are ma by the deck outside. Just go with a couple of friends, grab a couple of drinks and light bites, and just have a good time. read more

Overall a fun lounge to go for drinks. We had a variety of drinks and all were made with quality. The Dj was spinning over the weekend and the place gets super crowded. When it's that crowded, you have to buy a ticket and then get your drink which is so inefficient especially with all the people everywhere. They should limit the crowd on the weekend and look for a better ordering process. Otherwise during the week day when it's less crowded, the place has great music, vibe, drinks and service read more

Good food, good music, good variety of food, good position. For just €10.00 you get all of that. Good choice for a posh evening in Florence read more

Colle Bereto Cafè - Cocktail - Cafes Near Me - Florence, FI

This was like club Florence. At least there was thumping music and cocktails AND free wi-fi with no password needed. Plus, best of all, a free happy hour buffet! I guess being an American, you come to expect happy hours. But being in a foreign country, happy hours are a perk and free buffets are even perkier! I had an Aperol Spritz, which was delicious. I love these so much because it's the best of both worlds. A cocktail, but not too sweet of a cocktail. Perfect for a summer evening outside. read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would.... If you are American, they will try to take advantage of you so beware. My friend and I had 4 drinks each, including 2 apertivo platters. Then they tried to charge us with 6 drinks each, which we know they didn't have. They tried to say we were "drunk Americans who didn't know math" and when we tried to explain our situation to the manager, he prohibited any of us from being able to use the bathroom and made security FORCIBLY stop us from going. We had been here before and had a great time, but the experience we had today was the worst experience at a bar/restaurant I had ever had before. I was so upset by this place, and will never return again. If you are American, I beg you not to come here, they 100% targeted us trying to pin us as drunk Americans, and only let us leave when he gave us a "discount" meaning he realized his mistake and only discounted 2 of our drinks instead of the 4 he overcharged! read more

This is one of the coolest, fanciest, most chic places I've been to in Florence. I always go there to see beautiful chic people, great music (I bought their CD and listen to it all the time back home too!) and the upstairs club is super cool! The only place we have similar here in Miami Beach is the Cavalli club...if you go to Florence you must check out the nightlife at Colle Bereto! read more

Colle Bereto Cafè - Club upstairs with fluorescent Don bottles - Cafes Near Me - Florence, FI

This is an upscale elegant cocktail bar/restaurant, located near by the historic Piazza Della Republica, and right across from Palazzo Strozzi. The atmosphere is very friendly and seriously, they make the best Cosmopolitan in the world! (no joke) I find this place to be perfect for the aperitif time, but also great for lunch and/or dinner. The food selection is quite large and from the few times I've been here, I can say that the ingredients and the execution of their meals is high above the average. Personally, I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for a great service with a sophisticated touch. Guaranteed you'll love it! :-) *Side note: I wanted to take a second and talk about their prive club. Toward 2 AM this bar opens the doors to their upper level private club. While you don't really need to dress great for visiting the bar/cafe area, I most highly recommend you do it if you wish to go upstairs. Especially during the particular events such as Pitti Uomo, the door selection is quite tight. They give priority to those who have reserved a table, but also to those who look good. You can't blame them for this, as any business owner in their place would do the same. read more

Colle Bereto Cafè - They make the most amazing Cosmos in the world! :-) - Cafes Near Me - Florence, FI

Made my way here on a Sunday night looking for something to do. It was pretty slow but I hear on Friday and Saturday's it is much busier. However, I liked the music and the fact it wasn't packed. The bartender was really nice and introduced us to some really great drinks (none of which I can remember because by the 2nd one in, everything was blurry). It was also very reasonably priced considering where I live. If I make my way back to the area, I would come by on a weekend night. The place is not too small but also a bit dark. Has a nightclub, disco feel to it. There is also a covered area to sit at outside for those rainy nights. Which had more people in it by the way. Seemed to be a locals place, mainly Italians from what I saw. Not many tourists. But it could have just been that time of year. read more

This place is very nice for lounging. I got the salmon tartare which was delicious and well-presented. The Alexander is amazing. read more

Very Hip Bar - Restaurant situated in the beautiful Piazza Strozzi. You will often see local celebrities like soccer stars, models ecc.. This is the perfect place for a cappuccino in the morning and a pastry. Bar Man Cristian makes a great coffee. During the day you can enjoy a lovely lunch with traditional plates such as pasta, salads and fusion style meals such as sashimi, carpaccio and rice Around 6pm you can enjoy an aperitif with snacks read more

The bellinis are excellent !!! This place is awesome for aperetivo, you pay 8 euros for a drink and you can get as many appetizers as you want. I believe it lasts from around 7-10pm. The drinks are very good and they have a great selection of appetizers, including spaghetti, risotto, sausage, salad etc. The atmosphere is really cool as well and the music is bumpin!!! go here!!! read more

Came here on labour day for a 'light lunch.' Service was fast and fairly impersonal. The salad we got was oversized and not so great. The spaghetti was ok. We were not aware that we had to pay inside. In fact we had to ask twice for the check after waiting 10 minutes. When we approached the waitress to pay, she was clearly unable to contain her frustration and was a bit rude. Probably would not bother coming here other than the fact they were one of few places open today. read more

Upscale bar and food. Bring lots of money. Very hip and upscale great music and the usual allure. I think this is fun for all ages even though it's geared toward a younger crowd. They have an outdoor dining area but make reservations. Pleasant atmosphere with good staff and great drinks. Get dressed up this place deserves it! Says Grandma Mia ! read more

I stoped in here because the nearby hotel bar was closed. This is possibly the most incompetent staff I have seen in a bar. They spent more time talking to their friends than there customers. After I ordered a rum in coke I received a glass of warm cheep rum. It may be that it is a locals bar, but it would be nice if the cold shoulder was more forthcoming. read more

Groovy place ... and they can make a cocktail. However - Service after the 1st drink is horrendous. Wait staff chat with a local ( weirdly focused on this person ... must live in the bar...) and subsequently ignore everyone trying to get their attention. Pity. Great potential let down by Service staff. read more

I have been here on a few occasions, once to meet someone over a caffè and other times to have cocktails. Every instance, I sat in the covered space outside in Piazza Strozzi. I cannot say that I have ever really had exceptional service here- no matter who I was with. The cocktails are made pretty well and the location is very central, but the lack of two stars is because this place isn't any better than just basic. read more

Food was very average, leaning towards the bad side. Service was disgustingly awful. Waiters took 30 minutes to come out and grant a request. Ended up waiting 40 minutes for the bill and could not get ahold of a waiter as they all just work behind the bar read more

I guess that coming here depends on where you sit! I sat inside and had a couple of drinks for my friends Birthday. The service was good and the drinks were very tasty and well made. It's dressy and chic. There seemed to be a lot of "high-class" Italian men(ok cool). I had a great time! I was there all night and there's an upper level with a little lounge/ dancing area, which I loved! You can either sit outside or inside. I would recommend inside if you want full service. Outside is more for mingling with those Italians! read more

My favourite bar in Firenze! Fashionable people.

We went for late night drinks here. Vibe was excellent full of locals on a Tuesday night. The waiters took a while to serve us but it was with a smile so we are okay with that. If you want to party it up it's the place to be on weekend nightlife! read more

Came across this place on accident as I was looking for another restaurant for lunch. It was great to see signature salads on the menu and a modern atmosphere. The bello salad was perfect and just what I was looking for as opposed to the typical pizza and osterias in the area. Went back for a late dinner later during my stay in florence but was disappointed that their dinner menu is a condensed version of their lunch menu. In contrast, it's great lounge at night with cocktails and hip music, So more for a younger crowd in the evening but otherwise a good lunch spot.. read more

Cool spot close to our hotel, great music- hip hop mashups- but the service was terrible!!!!! We came for late night cocktails, they couldn't get a rum and coke correct, service ignored us so we sat inside the bar for our second round and still waited 40 minutes! Maybe they don't like Americans? Not sure but we were pretty much ignored the whole time we were here. Too bad. read more
