    Everything! The service is friendly, quick, and helpful. The food (sandwiches and charcuterie) was fresh , filling, and tasty. The atmosphere feel authentic for a locals hangout. It is small with intimate and close seating with companions and others from adjacent tables but also warm and inviting. The artwork is modern and contemporary. Another plus - they remember you and your order/preferences. This hidden gem is only a couple of blocks from the Arno River and far enough away from the Ponte Vecchio so as not to be a tourist trap as also reflected by their prices and warm genuine hospitality. It is nearby the Piazza Santa Maria Novella and located only a few steps from the intersection of Via Palazzuolo and Via del Porcellana. I would recommend the house red (chianti) and a caffee latte if that's your jam. Coffee is smooth and not acidic - SO good!

    The ambiance was a woody dim light cozy intimate environment. The food was INCREDIBLE and left me full but wanting more! And the drinks were such a great price. The service was friendly and inviting- Well worth the stop in Florence!

    Found this beautiful little gem yesterday. The food, wine and service were wonderful! Can't wait to return

    We stopped by for a quick glass of wine and some charcuterie in this cute little spot. The menu was fun with a friends theme. Seemed to be more of a local spot with a sprinkle of a tourist here and there.

    Wonderful gem on a backstreet near Piazza Santa Maria Novella. Cross streets are Via Palazzuolo/Via del Porcellana. Such welcoming people who work there and a delightful artsy indoor/outdoor atmosphere - truly a must visit. Service is quick, even when busy with take away orders and the food is delicious and fresh. Over the course of. A few days in Florence we stopped in for wine, coffee and snacks as if was close to our accommodation. They even remembered us and our preferences!

    I studied abroad in the summer of 2022, and my friends and I stumbled upon this gem. We went multiple times a week. Everything about La Boite is perfect. For the morning: cute ambiance, I would go many mornings to get a really tasty cappuccino. For evenings: This is where La Boite really shines. Their drinks are cheap (6 euros for cocktails), strong (but you don't taste the alcohol), and tasty. Unlike lots of other places, their Hugo's are refreshing but not too sweet, and their Moscow mules have a lovely bite. Their cheese boards are INCREDIBLE - huge servings of creative, tasty, and ever-changing combos of cheeses, tomatoes, meats, and sauces. At 18 euros for a large one (the perfect size for my group of 7 friends to share before dinner) l, they're an absolute steal. The music changes every night but always adds to the cozy, warm ambiance. And last but not least, the staff is truly special. Their energy, helpfulness, and contagious smiles made us come some nights just to see the bartender. I cannot recommend this place more - going to La Boite will be a wonderful part of your trip to Florence!

    Large platter

    Absolutely recommend!! I ordered the large cheese platter, peach juice, and house wine. The wine was fantastic! The large platter was the best one I've had during my stay in Florence. The service was excellent. Both of the guys behind the counter were very welcoming and so funny. It's a smaller shop, but there weren't very many people. If was a very chill and cozy spot to relax after a long day of walking the streets. If you are nearby or happen to see this place, go in for a drink and a bite!

    This place was a hidden gem ! I saw it on yelp and my friend and I decided to go on a journey to find it. Every second was worth the tripl You must definitely come and chill in this paradise across from 25 hours hotel Plaza! Have the salad and the Richard with Gorgonzola cheese

    La Boite is such a hidden gem. It's cozy -- there are probably only 5 or 6 tables in the whole space and only one staff member working behind the bar. It's the perfect spot to grab a late afternoon aperitivo, especially if you have a very late dinner reservation and want a snack! Glasses of wine are super reasonable and filled to the brim. The star of the show is most definitely the meat and cheese board. You can order a small or large, and a small is plenty of food for two. Our board came with two plump balls of mutz, brie and manchego plus lots of prosciutto, salami and bread. The ambiance is very relaxing and they had a wonderful rock playlist on. I loved how unpretentious this spot felt, and I'd be sure to revisit if I found myself in Florence again. Plus, with cheap and delicious wine, cheeses and meats what could really go wrong?

    House wine and complimentary peanuts. They're tasty.

    Amazing whole on the wall. The house wine is great. The charcuterie board is the best I've ever had. The service was very good too. The gentleman and lady who work there are welcoming. I can't wait to go back. Thank you.

    I am studying abroad this summer in Florence and this place is so cute. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced and the sandwiches are quite large (I even had leftovers). I absolutely love "Friends" so the sandwich names were so cute and the food was delicious. It is definitely worth a visit!

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.

    A taste of the states in Florence, Italy…read more Believe it or not, when you're traveling in Italy for 12 days and pretty much only drinking prosecco and aperol spritz's this was a WELCOME change of pace. P.S. if you didn't know, cocktail culture in Italy is not a thing. This was one of the ONLY cocktail bars we stumbled upon during our trip and the atmosphere brought us in from the street. The atmosphere is hipster, retro, memorable and fun! The cocktail list is TO DIE FOR. The owner who was serving us, spent two years in the states mastering the art to bring it back. The list was super creative and well balanced for the season and heat. I opted for a cocktail with fresh squeed Grapefruit, Gin, fresh JUNIPER BERRIES, rosemary and elderflower tonic. It was served in a giant wine glass with ice and they give you the tonic on the side so you can make it as strong as you want. I thought this presentation was lovely, whimsical and fun. The cocktail was one of the best I've ever had and that is saying A LOT. Since I've been back I cannot stop thinking about it. For my second I got a blackberry, sage drink. It was good, but not nearly as memorable as the first. The hubs got an aperol spritz again, and to finish we got some sparkling rose - perfect for a hot night. We just did not want to leave this place! The service, the quality, the atmosphere. This place is killer!
