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

It's a great view and a nice place to grab a drink to soak in the experience. We had to wait a long time before we got our drinks because I think they forgot about us, but they made up for it by bringing us some small bites to eat. Overall, it was a place I would visit again. read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE service. Would give ZERO stars if I could. Avoid this deplorable place at all costs. I went to eat here by myself and moved my chair to the other side of the table so that I wasn't facing the wall and so that I could get a better view from the rooftop. I immediately was told to move the chair back and for LITERALLY NO REASON AT ALL. I was not in the way whatsoever (if anything I was even more out of the way of the walkway) nor did I even move my table. All I did was move the chair to the other side. I wasn't even close to the table behind me. There was at least 5 feet (1.524 meters) between my chair and the other table. I am regretting now not taking a picture to show how absolutely ridiculous this whole thing was. Zero respect for their PAYING customers and zero basic human respect. Needless to say, I got up and left. Definitely not spending my money in a shithole like this. read more

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... read more

Last dinner in town and it was poor. Service was terrible as we had to ask for bread, oli and cheese. Pluse I had to wait in the check too.

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 read more

La Terrazza - The view of il duomo from the rooftop terrace - Cafes Near Me - Florence, FI

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

I had read this rooftop restaurant reviews with the views of Duomo and so when I could not get a ticket to the top of Duomo tower on my last day in Firenze (Florence), I decided to check it out and I am so glad I did. On my way to the roof-top, I checked out 160 Euro corduroys, 500 Euro Bangladesh leather jackets and 350 Euro Christian brand perfumes- wondering about Italy's economy and store's management.Their Milan store was registering revenue of €130m in 05, just over ten years later, it generated €350m in revenue (an increase of 250%). Are you listening Nordstrom, Macy's.. I was lucky to get seating with Duomo, in the backdrop and took some great pictures. I wanted to try local brew and waitress suggested amaro di toscana by Santoni-dark and rich in color featuring a spicy scent with particularly strong aromatic notes that are typically characteristic of the Tuscany region. It's texture was full-bodied - supple with a pleasant bitter aftertaste. This is usually served after a meal straight up as a mellow digestive since it has 27 medicinal herbs or as a conversational drink. It was followed by Grappa Chianti (concentrated white wine). Server was super busy but attentive. I ordered lasagnette or lasagna pasta with cianti ragu. Cheese-pasta and Ragu in perfect harmony. It was the best lasagna I had. Total damage about 24 Euros - but absolutely worth every Euro cent. And smokers can smoke as in most Italian restaurants. So whether you shop at La Rinascente or not, when in Firenze or Milano you must try their rooftop restaurants bang opposite Duomos. read more

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. read more

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 ;) read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. 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

Spent two hours alone up here sipping cappuccino after cappuccino reflecting on my life choices.

This place is completely hidden, on the fifth floor of a department store. It's a tiny rooftop bar with an incredible view. We had two glasses of wine for 10 Euros . They brought out free appetizers which was a white bean dip and two miniature sandwiches. What an amazing view and an amazing deal. They close early at night, so it's best to go early evening or for lunch read more

The best view in Florence. You can see the Duomo and the Piazza Repubblica from here from a great perspective. La Terrazza is situated on the top floor of la Rinascente. It is usually not too crowded, so for lunch you have no problem finding a table. The lunch menu is not too pricey, around ten euro per meal. Anyone who goes to Florence should definately visit this terrace! read more

This was our last day in Florence and while people watching near the Duomo, my wife had the great idea to look for a rooftop restaurant. One search later, we were here!! Great cafe! A wonderful spot to get a drink and a lite meal! Loved it!!! read more

We visited the La Terrazza on a cool April evening. The view of the surrounding Florence skyline at sunset is beautiful. It was breezy and cool. So be prepared. The food was delicious and all our party of four liked their food. My wife's Lasagna was excellent. I had the grilled fish, and it was very good. Fresh and served hot. Our waiter was great and funny. Would definitely come back again. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Very glad we (finally) found this spot! The location on yelp is totally wrong, we walked in a full circle for a good half hour. But! It was worth it. We were looking for a place with atmosphere to rest our feet, take in a view, and drink negronis/spritzes. This was perfect for that. Prices are a little higher than other cafes, but for the location, view, and price, well worth it. And not crazy expensive (e.g. 9 euro cocktails) read more

Great place for a drink after a day of exploring Florence. It is busy, so make sure you've given yourself time to sit and enjoy coffee or wine. Drinks came with small bites, but don't expect to have a meal. read more
