Brac is strong in concept but middling in execution. The idea of building your own plate (a 3 item…read morebespoke sampler) is appealing but doesn't overcome the lacking flavor of the individual dishes. The green lasagna and chickpea tempeh were both surprisingly bland despite enticing descriptions. The big winner was the beet salad which I could have eaten three times that night. The service was friendly but the approach to the meal is overly theatric when they should just double down on great food. Right now they're style over substance. But major props for all vegetarian food in Italy!

They have so many toppings all of which are so fresh. I got a salad with apples and they cut the apple on the stop to put on it. They also aren't skimpy with toppings which I appreciate. For a healthy place the prices I feel like are pretty fair. The staff was generally friendly- they asked if we were students and gave us a punch card (which I will be filling up so quickly). They have about 4 tables outside which is nice to dine at when its warm. Their menu is actually very large- from salads, to smoothies, to bowls, to soups, to breakfast. This place is truly so good I will be coming back often.

They have an outdoor window for coffee orders so we opted to order there. I decided to try one of their signature coffees and went with the Persian Love. This drink includes pistachio, latte, espresso, rose and hibiscus syrup. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it satisfied the coffee cravings!

The cappuccino was strong and the vanilla latte was yummy and sweet. We also had their avocado toast and eggs Benedict. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The barista even took time to help us figure out which coffee to take home. They also have a takeaway window if you want to take coffee or pastries to go! There can be a bit of a long wait time (because it's so good) so get there early :)

Portions sizes are huge, def could be two meals or split among two people (tip: ask them to cut it in half to share). I got the italiana and the prosciutto was perfect. Even though it's like Italian fast food, all the ingredients taste so fresh. The bread is amazing too!

Super cute place if you just wanna chill, catch up with a friend, or have a small bite. I heard…read moretheir spritz aperol was their specialty so a friend and I came here to check out this place. Really relaxing vibe with old furniture. If you only order drinks, they give you a small platter of snacks to munch on, it being some fruit and crackers with dip. So cute! I also heard their sandwiches are good here. No sit in fee as well, but they do accept tips. Also each spritz aperol is 4 euro and is very good.

Whether you sit indoors or outdoors, the café provides a pleasant and beautiful escape from crowds of surrounding streets. The servers are extremely friendly. The space attracts a diverse crowd. You can find groups of people doing work, people reading, or just eating and chatting. There are people of all ages, mostly Italian, and even a few families. The restaurant is extremely aesthetically pleasing and well decorated with a variety of found furniture and antiques-- including rows of old theater seats, which were creatively used as table seating and crates of fresh fruits and vegetables lining the wall. The café has a fantastic selection of both food and drink. One can chose from a variety of sandwiches that are atypical of Florentine paninis with ingredients such as hummus. For all of their sandwiches, the crust is removed baked into delicious and crisp croutons. There is also a selection of salads, hot plates, pastries, and specials. They serve a variety of fresh, seasonal juices. The cocktail menu is extensive and includes creative, locally sourced and seasonal drinks. Amblé exemplifies style, coziness, and sustainability-- setting the eatery apart from others in Florence.

The charcuterie board was big enough to share with 3 but also depends of how much you eat. lol portions tend to be smaller in Italy. However, the sandwich was a nice size.

We stumbled upon this location while finding our way around Florence. We were excited to sit down…read moreand enjoy a beautiful cheeseboard here due to the fact that they had so many amazing meats and cheeses behind the counter. The staff was knowledgeable on all the different meats and cheeses available and were able to make recommendations based on what you prefer. We ordered a beautiful looking cheeseboard that had a variety of different hard cheeses along with different meats. The presentation was beautiful and we very much enjoyed the entire thing. It is very cool to see the different meat hanging from the ceiling in addition to the wine bottles and the cool ambience that they created in the small location. There are a handful of seats available and then there's even a back room with a few more tables to accommodate a few more people. From a price point perspective, it wasn't too bad, especially if you're swinging in for a snack and a quick glass of wine or a beer.

The food was a pleasure to eat. I ordered classic egg's Benedict. I wanted my egg poached medium…read morebut I was told by an unfriendly dry as dirt Italian waitress that I could only have it runny. I then had to take a little more time to find something else. A lovely American waitress came over and helped me.(I'm not saying she's lovely because she's American, she just was really friendly) She explained that the cook makes all the poached eggs in one big pot and can't specialize one for a customer. She said they could fry it medium well and that worked for me. The other waitress offered to fry the egg or scramble it but she just wasn't friendly, and she didn't give me all the choices of how I could get the egg fried. That really helped me make my choice. The egg's Benedict came with American pork bacon and not Canadian bacon. The hollandaise sauce was deliciousness, but they give you such a small amount. They need to double it. Another reviewer mentioned how good the green hot sauce was, so I tried it. It was spot on great!! I made sure every bite had the green sauce on it. I usually only like shredded hash browns but their breakfast potatoes were perfect. They weren't hard and had a good flavor. The restaurant was clean but very small. It had a nice relaxing feel. I love to try the food of the country I'm visiting, but after traveling for two weeks it was nice to have something I eat at home. The eggs Benedict was a treat. I had the hot amaretto coffee drink and that just hit the spot and made the waiting to be seated all worth it. The had many types of milk you can put in your coffee, for example, they have soy milk, oat milk, etc. I would definitely recommend this place and come back. Oh and the less than friendly waitress served my food to me with a smile, but she never smiled again and never accepted my thank you's no matter how much I said them. Word of advice don't have a sad face if they can't provide something the way you want it if the waitress is blond and Italian. That will not go over well. You're not allowed to be quietly disappointed.

Our waiter was nice and we both really enjoyed our food. We ordered the caprese salad to share as a starter. My son got this huge calzone that he surprisingly finished. I ordered the filet mignon which was fantastic. The only drawback was that they brought out my son's calzone at the same time as the salad... and my filet (rare) took forever to come out after that (I eventually asked the waiter to check on it). So, for the longest time, my son and I were just waiting for my steak to come out, and then I was eating alone. :/
