Great view of Florence near the domo and other local places. Catch the sunset and have a glass of wine or cocktail or some food/desert. I would have given it four stars, but the service was terrible. Understaffed, not friendly =three stars. The view...
I'll spill the beans on how to get here. To get to this spot, you need to enter through the "la Rinascente" department store on the first floor and take the elevator/escalator to the 4th floor. From there you take the stairs to the "5th floor" rooftop Rooftop bar with a beautiful view of il Duomo and Piazza Della Republica. The drinks here are not cheap, as you'll be paying for the location (and view). It is worth it. I enjoyed half a litre of white wine with a friend while taking in the views. I think the total damage was 16 Euros. Money well spent, check this spot out. I saw some people order 1 bottle of water to keep it on the cheap. You can do that if you want to, but really... You are in Florence, kick back, enjoy a nice drink and enjoy the view
This one isn't easy to find as need to go up the escalators through the department store and then take a separate staircase to reach the top floor. This spot is popular only because it is one of the few restaurant rooftop terraces available in the city of Florence. This very small limited menu is overpriced, but hey, you're paying the price of admission for the beautiful 360 degree views. Cocktails are 9 euro here (4 euro is much more in line everywhere else) but you will get a little plate of snacks for your table consisting of some pesto and/or tapenade. Didn't think there was enough here to make it special to warrant the extra cost as there are prettier views from other venues.
What an amazing view of il Duomo!!! Mamma mia, this is one of the best kept secrets in Firenze! We paid €11.50 for a cup of coffee & a cup of hot chocolate but it was so worth it!!! I won't tell you exactly how to get there because I don't want more people finding out about this place, hehehe!! XD
Great place for the view and drinks. It is on the top of a department store so it closes early. We wanted an early quick dinner with exhausted kids and were able to grab the last 4 paninis. It isn't really a dinner place. Once the food runs out, it runs out. But I recommend for a glass of wine before you head to dinner elsewhere. It's a small balcony and there isn't a bad table.
Amazing spot is enjoy brunch in the afternoon. You get a great view of Florence. I wouldn't say it is as "hidden" as Yelp suggests though, considering how crowded the place is. There is a downstairs section too, but it's indoors and you don't get to enjoy the nice view and weather. The food here is pretty good too. I got the riso, which was rice with a tomato sauce and feta cheese. It was delicious. Perfectly sauced. My boyfriend got their ricotta and spinach ravioli in butter, which was good too. We both shared a caffe freddo, which was phenomenal! We ordered this drink at other places and couldn't find another one as good as this. I wish I could replicate it and bring it back to the US. Service wasn't great though. There was one waiter for the entire outdoor patio. ONE. She was swamped during the entire time. I felt bad, but we did have to wait a while to get our order taken and we were starving. They really need to hire another waiter to help out. One note though: you can't share a table with strangers. This one couple invited us to sit with them when they saw we were waiting for a table. The server told us that we cannot do that unless we plan on being under the same bill and put us somewhere else.
Looking for good value Italian food with an epic rooftop view of Florence? Well my friend, the La Terrazza is just the place for you! After escalator rides through the department store, La Rianscente, and a final elevator ride up to the top level, a beautiful rooftop dining area will be waiting for you. For food I recommend getting the lasagna, easily the best of my life. And while you're waiting for your grub, be sure to take advantage of the high altitude and capture some photos with the breathtaking scenery around you! My parents loved their photo up here so much it's going to make the cut on our yearly Christmas card ;)
Worth the trip up to the top floor of department store La Rinascente for roof top views of some of Firenze's highlights over Piazza della Repubblica, including the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio and the sunset. There was only one sever for the 12 or so tables so things moved slow, but the view is awesome, and more moderately priced than Rick Steves would have you think. For our quick trip to Florence, we wanted apertivo with a view and this was perfect.
My boyfriend and I both ordered pastas and we're both semi disappointed. Service was mediocre. But view was awesome, also enjoyed the seclusion
rooftop outdoor patio...go inside la rinascente department store...take the elevator or escalators to the top floor and walk up the stairs to the rooftop...extremely packed and self-seating...scout a good table with great views...wait for party to finish and take the table...really here for the views on a perfect sunny florence day...order of caffe latte 4,50€ and caffe freddo 5€...a tiramisu served in a bowl...tiramisu wasn't very good...plenty of drink options from mimosa to cognac...
I can't believe I've never rated this place! It's one of my favorite hidden spots in Florence! The little sandwiches are super yummy and affordable plus the hot chocolate is so rich! Now the best part is he view off course, although they are small (outside) they always have tables available so you can take amazing pictures of the views and sit down and relax at the same time. I went there today around sunset time and while larinascente was packed on a Saturday before Xmas I still got a seat right away up there! Took my mom there too for the first time today needless to say she loved it!
Not sure how I give it a 4 with the views. This is the first place you should come when you get to Florence. Get your bearings and then head out. Service is kinda slow but it's a department store cafe when it's all said and done. Beautiful views in all directions. Mojito was pretty good. Too much lime and not enough rum but, hey, I'm American. Stop by.
A great spot to enjoy the skyline of Florence! You can see the Duomo, Piazza Della Repubblica and more! Grab a glass of wine or coffee and enjoy the view! :) It's on the 5th floor of the department store La Rinascente.
Beautiful rooftop restaurant in the middle Da Secolare square in the heart of Florence, Italy. I had the bloody Catarina which was essentially the American version of a Bloody Mary minus all the accoutrements. Very spicy and delicious! I got the Nino burger and fries and the burger was very juicy and tasty. It came with bacon, caramelized onions, mayo and French fries. Service was ok. They don't serve table water for some reason but I guess that's considered standard in Italy. read more

After a lot of walking around Florence, saying hello to David at the Galleria dell'Accademia, we went to this busy, sunny rooftop terrace - on the top floor of the Rinascente Department Store- to eat pasta! I had fusilli and my friend had gnocchi. The waitress was AMAZING - I have never seen a waitress work as hard as her! She ran up and down the stairs getting drinks and food like a pro!!! She cleared and turned tables quickly because there was always someone waiting for a table. And ... the pasta was yummy! Also, you CANNOT beat the view! read more
