Beautiful, one of this special places where you can just let it go and relax in the middle of the city! This is what happened to me here! L'orto is a flower shop that meets an American restaurant and you can see and smell it everywhere: the music, 60s style, plants everywhere, inside and outside. But it get's even better when you go inside: everything looks like if an old factory would have been restructured by a gardener: industrial style with lots of copper in combination with flowers. All that coming with daily changing plates fulfilling all wishes from pasta to cow! By the way, the coffee is superb!!! I wanna live here!!!!

This place has become one of my favorite spots in Empoli. It…read morehas been opened where once there was a florist, hand it has kept the style and many of the plants too. Still the florist exists, in a very very tiny booth in the restaurant's frontyard. The Chef, a very friendly and passionate Lady, cooks like at home but with a fancy touch. Portions are generous and everything is from very good to delicious! The great thing is that it is open 7/7 and from breakfast to dinner, also serving brunch from 10 am on, with a choice of cakes, eggs in different ways, etc... It is also a nice place to go with a friend for an afternoon tea, or with a colleague for a brainstorm coffee. I love to go there with my girlfriends for lunch, a looong lunch :) And it's nice for an aperitif too, they also make the classic cocktails and serve wines too (of course!) that you can have maybe with some crostini or cold cuts or cheeses. But the atmosphere, with that old country style and flowers and plans, is what you will like the most as it is not typical but makes it perfect for every occasion. PS. Don't miss to visit the restrooms... unique.

Really enjoyed this place. It's simple, seems like a local roadhouse. It's attached to a not very…read morefancy hotel, and is next door to a local youth athletic building (huge parking lot, free). We were looking for an everyday kind of meal, after too many fancy, "Best in Town" places. Just wanted something casual and decent. Stumbled across this, only because it was convenient. The staff was courteous and helpful, in spite of a language barrier that we all manage to crawl over. All we had was a salad and a calzone, and a bottle of water. The salad was nice and fresh, the calzone was huge (see photo), but not plump with stuffing, as I've had them at home. Never had one in Italy before, so this may be normal. It was more like a pizza, folded in half, with mozzarella, artichokes, olives, ham and sausage inside, and some tomato sauce and olive oil outside. At any rate, it was tasty, and I enjoyed it. While we waited for our order, the table was graced with the round things in my photo. They were balls of bread dough, about4cm in diameter, baked, and tasting very cheesy, although I could not see the cheese in them. Delicious, and free, and a basket of bread was served, too. The prices were beyond reasonable. Cover 1 euro each. Big water, 1, calzone was 6 or 8, and I forgot what the salad cost. I'd go back, except we left the area this morning
