Inside
Christopher S.

For drinks and aperitivo this is a good spot. Drinks are €10 as of May '24 and well made. Staff is also nice here as well. Inside is clean and well sorted. Supposedly they are one of the inventors of Negroni, which was quite good, so I will give them that. Spritz was also good. Would come back for drinks and possibly food. They also have pastries and espresso.

Steamed lasagne
Derek W.

The dinner we had was incredible! I had a steamed lasagna with truffles. Usually lasagna can be heavy but this version was considerably less heavy and was delicious. Our family and friends all had different dishes and we tasted them all. We did not have expect to have such good food in a central tourist spot such as this!

Fruit tart
April B.

I just drank the BEST hot chocolate and ate the silkiest fruit creme tart I have ever had in my life! Incredible! I highly recommend to indulge and sit and watch the world go by!

Italian Breakfast for €22
Lucila P.

Beautifully appointed cafe with outdoor seating perfect for people watching on the Piazza della Signoria. They have open seating and invite you to sit wherever you'd like, however some servers were clearly and audibly upset about their tables being taken by small parties. The food was ok, for €22 you can probably find a better breakfast, but you are paying for the location so why not!

CHOCOLATE COFFEE
Ian W.

This place is so fun. The seats are pink and the waiting staff are all full of life. We only went for drinks and dessert and I think it's so worth it to go..we went twice in 2 days haha.

The menu is wonderful and full of variety! The location absolutely perfect and the ambience unique yet enjoyable! There is plenty of seating and a good selection of snacks, food, desserts and drinks! The prices are reasonable but the service is quite slow. We had to ask to check and see if we order up front twice and then we had a server sent our way after 20-30 mins of waiting. Other than the long wait this was a lovely little stop along the way on a rainy day in Florence!

Pastries - my favorite was the Millefoglie
Alessandra O.

The views from this cafe are priceless and the cappuccino and pastries are absolutely delicious ! We stopped here for a late morning breakfast and had to try three different pastries as we couldn't resist! We enjoyed the millefoglie with the crema filling (Italian custard), the apple tarts and the baba au rum and not a crumb left in our plate. We also purchased a bag of their hazelnut biscotti to take home - can't wait to try them!

Was in Florence and had to go try the hot chocolate, and Rivoire was highly recommended as the #1 spot in Florence for it. We went in just for the hot chocolate, and it was really good! The atmosphere and environment is really nice and cute, and the servers were all in uniform and very friendly as well. This is a great place to check out, and very much recommended.

What a view of the palacio becchio, where you can enjoy a drink and some appetizers after walk of around the city. Service was good, drinks were good, but location is pretty hard to beat

View
Scott L.

View and Service is why you sit at Rivoire, not ham or turkey sammiches for €35 for two. Food is almost worthless, unless you get dessert which is the specialty of the house. We had a great time

History
Krisanna B.

I had to find out if this was the best hot chocolate in the world. Definitely a contender, much more research needed to confirm. Definitely one of the top three hot chocolates I've ever had, very rich and sweet but not too sweet. I loved the ambience, the jazz music playing, the wonderful hostess in the front. The waiters were amazing with their starched white uniforms, they must've been hot (it was 89degreesF!) , but they were so gracious and kind. I got the chocolate and it was wonderful from the case. My salad was crisp and delicious with perfect amount of dressing-I got the fourth one Tuna with white beans. I extended my trip just to come and visit here and I'm happy I did. A true gem in Florence, I do recommend.

Oh, Starbene... you will remain the stuff of dreams. This mighty little gluten free bakery was one…read moreof my favorite shops in all my Italian travels. They have a wide assortment of gluten free goodies -- from cookies to pies to savory bread-based delights. It's all priced quite fairly, too. I came in around 6pm on a Friday, and the kind woman behind the counter advised me to come back in the morning because they had more things in the mornings. I was sincerely baffled and said-- wait, more?! To me, they had a ton of great options even at 6pm! Apparently the cases are packed full in the mornings and if you want your best pick of the lot, go then. But if you're like me and not able to do that for whatever reason, you'll still find plenty! I can't have gluten or dairy. Sometimes it's hard to find dairy free goodies in a gluten free bakery. Not so with Starbene! They had cookies, pies and tarts as well as some bread-based savory items -- all clearly marked as without dairy. Grazie, Starbene!! Made my whole night! I ended up getting some cookies (3 for 1€) -- they were almost like thumbprints, with blackberry jam filling and with chocolate hazelnut filling. So. Good. I also got an apricot jam tart (~3€, I think). It was also delicious! The apricot jam was just the right amount of sweet and the crust was perfectly flakey. Plus, there was a heart shape on top which was just the sweetest little detail. I also got a focaccina, which was kind of like a bread roll pizza without cheese or sauce. It was super good! I took it up to Piazzale Michelangelo and enjoyed it with a view of the city. Perfection! My next visit to Florence, Starbene's will be a must do. No question about it. Gluten free friends, get yourselves over there and enjoy!

This place was ok. I've had better here in NY and other local areas. I found there stuff to be very…read moredry and no flavor. Anyway, we went back last December (2022) it was closed. We didn't find it again when we walked past the direction.
