This was a great alternative to traditional Italian food after being in Florence for a week…read more Spanish tapas seem to draw a more local crowd. There was seating at a small bar, small high boy tables in the front, and traditional table seating in the back (past the kitchen). Sangria was yummy, with a full cinnamon stick but no fruit slices. In any case, I'd recommend a liter for two people. Service was great. They didn't mind that we took our time. I never felt rushed. By 9pm there was a wait, so come early. Not a great place for large groups, but parties of 4 or less won't have a problem.

Just to note, they do have regular meals available too. We ordered a jug of the White Sangria (which came out along with a trio of nuts and bread for us to nibble on). Their tapas menu is divided into two - half italian and half spanish, which was perfect. We ordered the seafood paella, the avocado, cucumber and feta salad and the bruschetta will grilled vegetables. All very delicious and the flavours worked really well together! I went inside and complimented the Chef (Manuel) who didn't speak an ounce of English but welcomed the compliments all the same (the waitress managed to translate what i was unable to). Manuel then sent out a small plate of biscotti for us as a sign of appreciation which was just lovely and very unexpected. I have to say that I am surprised that before my review I was unable to find this restaurant on Yelp, but feel incredibly honoured to pop this little baby up here so no one else misses out on the delicious food here! You can get pasta and pizza everywhere, so it is nice for a change of pace. Bravo!

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 am an Asian female. ***updated 2025 post- I showed the owner and pointed at my boyfriend who was in line multiple times that we were purchasing food. *** updated 2023 post - Apparently my post was blocked because the owner of the store tried to cover my true experience. Racist owner randomly took my table and chair while I was eating on it to give to a Caucasian European couple. l'm an Asian female by the way. I showed him that my boyfriend was waiting in line to purchase food and constantly assured him we were using them and that we were buying food. He still took my table and chair and said I'll give you another one- to which it down graded to eating off 3 short chairs. 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.

We can here for a quick drink and found this place to be fun and hip...modern meets Italy!…read moreSurprisingly the place was empty on a Valentine's Day but we had a good time for our first nights drink. The drinks are made well and priced right. The service is friendly and accommodating for Italian standards. The only issue I had was there was only one bathroom which for a busy restaurant that can be a big problem. Otherwise we would definitely recommend this place for drinks!! Bottom line..come for a drink here if you are looking for something more modern and fun. It also could be a good place to just have light bites. Pros Drinks Light bites Modern vibe Friendly service Nice location Cons Only one bathroom

This place is beautiful, totally hipster (one of these many new hipster places in Florence totally…read morerenewing the old tratoria / osteria landscape), and the atmosphere is very festive - a bit noisy for sure but nice. It is 100% a "cool" place. And as such, they have developed this very characteristic symptom of coolness (evidence of this disease all over Europe) of "we do not accept reservation". Understand "we are so cool that we know you will wait". And i did. But i did once. I had a very nice moment and enjoyed the atmosphere a lot, especially on a saturday night. But the food did not convince me enough to have me wait again for so long. It was good but nothing spectacular. Probably i am not cool enough. So, what did we eat? Some salmon, with very very dry rice: i did not like at all. Some anchovies with spinach and burrata: this one i liked a lot, i find the alliances of these different ingredients very tasty. A falafel: it was ok, nothing special. Then for dessert, the mini bombe were good and the panna cotta was very good too. To sum up, the dessert were very good but i was not very impressed by the other tapas and even disliked one. Still worth going for this very cool atmosphere (and if you do not mind waiting). Writing those lines i realize that maybe i'll wait again once...

But the drinks were incredible, and strong if I must say so. A lot better than some bars in Florence. The food was pretty good, and so far the only place I've been to where I could get good salsa. Then the prices were unreal, they gave us students discounts so we didn't even spend that much. Maybe €20 a person for a meal, a drink, a shot, etc. then at the end of the night they gave us free chips and salsa with guacamole (probably to make us thirsty), but that was ok because we just ordered more drinks. But around 12, we had to move our tables because they have a dance floor and Dj that is set up. The music was fun, and the men weren't too creepy. So if your looking for a great place to have dinner and drinks with friends, this is where you should go; however, make sure you call and make a reservation if it's a Friday or Saturday though.

It's very easy to make a mess eating this kind of sandwich but if you're a crunchy bread fan like me, then you'll enjoy this wholeheartedly.

Instead, without even asking for my name or checking my reservation, a young host walked me out the door and across the street into a completely different dining area. The room I was placed in looked nothing like what was advertised: it was brightly lit, with paper napkins, cheap silverware, and visibly dirty walls. The whole place felt like a low-end lunch diner -- not a charming Florentine restaurant. They were blasting Highway to the Danger Zone and I Wanna Dance with Somebody while the main restaurant -- the one I thought I had booked -- played soft Italian music that actually fit the fine dining experience. The contrast was insulting. I was dressed in an upscale outfit appropriate for a refined dinner, yet I was treated as though I didn't belong. It felt discriminatory and dismissive. To make matters worse, at the end they tried to pressure me into tipping on the card machine -- in Italy, where tipping isn't even customary. The entire experience felt like a bait-and-switch, and I left feeling disrespected, singled out, and completely disappointed.
