    Ambiance
    Kimberly F.

    This was a fun place to visit, it did remind us of home in Las Vegas. The music was familiar and the memorabilia on the walls was fun to look at. We went for breakfast, so that is what I'm reviewing. I cannot say how the bar service is since I did not use that. We got the rocker breakfast, and it was ok. The tomato was not easy to cut into and the cappuccino was subpar. They didn't bring out the sugar which has been a standard practice at any place we've ever gone to in Europe. They also didn't bring out syrup for the pancake my husband got. We had to wait so long, to see the server again, that the pancake was cold by the time the syrup arrived. They don't offer fresh squeezed orange juice which was surprising because most places, even Starbucks out here does.

    Usiual hard rock with a shop selling the usual gear. Nothing particularly special . The food & drinks are so special in Florence we don't need to purchase American stuff, but it's j very busy . It located in the heart of the tourist area.

    I stopped here on the way back to my room after a little shopping. I grabbed a Long Island, because it was probably the only restaurant in the city that could make them. Nice set up and quick service. Please don't do the American default and run here. It serves its purpose but there are many local options.

    I've been to a bunch of hard rock cafes all over the world...this one is lacking. Poor service- we waited at least 25 minutes before approaching the waitstaff to take our order. The menu is limited and everything we got lacked in flavor. I wouldn't return - if you're on holiday in Florence and are looking for a break from the pizza and pasta try searching other cuisines before resorting here.

    Margarita!

    I really like this Hard Rock. It's one of their smaller locations and has a nice ambiance. Cozy, but still large enough to host live music and not feel 'squished'. We stopped in last Autumn for lunch and had a very enjoyable time. We usually get the burgers - often the 'local'. If you have been to a HRC, you know the menu! Our most recent visit was initiated to give our feet a rest from walking all over Florence between lunch and dinner! We had a seat at the bar and ordered a variety of beverages. Beer, margarita, and milkshakes! The milkshakes got rave reviews! I am a margarita fan, so that's all good too. The bartender was very nice and separated our bills (before we asked!) and added my HRC# to our bill with a smile! That is one of the trademarks of HRC. Their staff are super helpful and upbeat. They focus on great customer service and this HRC is no exception,

    If you are looking for American food this is the place to go! The atomic burgers were to die for and the fries with garlic aioli were amazing. The food definitely deserved 5 stars but the service was horrible. Our waitress couldn't speak english well and she first asked "Can you please think about donating $2 to a charity". When she came back to our table with the check, we were then asked again if we had considered donating. I don't want to go a restaurant to buy food only to be pressured to donate money to a charity I don't care about. In addition, no tap water. Really disappointed with this Hard Rock.

    When spending €17 for a foh'kin mojito, I expect it to be either: a) Properly done and tasty! b) Super loaded with rum/alcohol c) Gargantuan (size-wise) d) Laced with some sort of illegal drug Alas, size was average (no complains there, I am not a fan of those buckets with 10 straws)... so I had high expectations upon the first sip. Instead it left me empty and very sad, as if I had just listened to Adele's entire first album. The mint wasn't crushed but used as a garnish.... sugar was minimal (and completely dissolved).... drink was weak and watered down. Mojito fail. Hard Rock saved itself from a two star review because our server Loreto was a cool dude, the interior design is beautiful, and they stay open for Super Bowl ('merica... phu¢k yeah!). Pretty much the only people who come here are homesick American students or expats and tourists/locals who want some sort of American experience. It's a pretty cool place, just wish the drinks lived up to its name. My next mission here is to eat my weight in food - I heard their portions are massive. Will report back! PS: the drink wasn't roofied.

    This is a magnificent location and the most beautiful Hard Rock I've ever been to. When feeling hungry for some American food and a 50' musical (Greese was playing), this place is a Hit for an all American date night ;) Burgers are very good, it is not prime quality meat but overall good. Service got a little lost in translation here, they are soooo slow.... I wonder if these kids worked in America they would starve to death, but hey, we're in Italy and customer service lacks in most places.... Get a booth seating at the end of the bar or close to the stage. Will add an extra star when customer service improves!

    Happy hour and live music with Feeling Good!

    This is hands down the best HRC of all those I have been to. When they first opened back in 2011, it wasn't great. Both service and food were so so. Back then I would have given two stars. Now I'm going with 5 - probably more like 4,5, but 4 wouldn't do them justice. The staff are great, on every level as I see it. That goes for servers, bartenders, baristi, the staff in the shop, and obviously the guys back in the kitchen. And manager is very present, walking around making sure everyone is happy. One time I even had him print my Fiorentina ticket for me, as I had left mine at the hotel before going to the game! The food is real quality. Even the fajitas meat is cooked to perfection after your preference. I do love Italian food, and I eat that a lot whenever in Florence. But that doesn't stop me from going to Hard Rock. Usually at least once per day when in town. If just for a coffee. Or a drink, a snack, some dessert. Or a full meal. Yes it is American food, but it is done with Italian perfection. Sometimes combining the best of two worlds become pretty great! Oh and they do have Italian pizza (at least I think they still do). I also love the Italian style bar they have out in the front. Basically a coffee bar, but of it is also a full bar.

    Nachos!!

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.

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.

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.
