Welcoming bar offering an intimate setting. They have a wonderful cocktail menu, unfortunately the bartender was out and only wines and spritzers were available, which is why I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5. The owners are very friendly and the jazz music adds to a relaxing atmosphere after a long day of touring Florence

So happy we found this place! The owner/bartender has a passion for artisan cocktails and he sure creates the best drinks we've had in Italy. Def worth coming and trying. Unbelievable knowledge of spirits from all over the world. If you enjoy the speakeasy style with a master mixologist this is your place! Our favs were espresso martini, Gauguin and little red riding hood.

Best bar / cocktails I've had in Italy. The owner is taking/making/delivering the highest quality drinks and he is so sweet. The interior is amazing as well. Could not recommend this place more.

This place is literally the best find in Florence for a chill, authentic experience. Small, local bar filled with art made by the owner. Music playlist is curated by the artist's wife, which is unique indie rock covers of the Beatles, Zepplin, Nirvana, CCR, and the like. So much fun to sit in here listening to the music, enjoying the art and indoor plants, but most of the all the incredible cocktails. Silvio the bartender is much more of a mixologist, having created some of the best cocktails I've had - especially the "Frida Kahlo" which is a mezcal version of a negroni with dried onion and freshly torched chili pepper to mix in. Totally unforgettable!

We stopped in for a late night cocktail on the way back to the hotel and were so happy we did! We ordered the Old Fashioned and the Paloma Spritz. Both were delicious. The place is full of eclectic art and great music is playing. It is a very romantic spot for the end of a date!!

My husband and I stumbled on this place in the midst of getting lost, trying to find another…read morerestaurant a friend had recommended. Unfortunately for my husband (and myself), if he goes to long without eating, his blood sugar gets low and his alter ego appears, as if in a Snicker's commercial. We were literally passing La Cantinetta when I saw this delicious looking meal a lady was eating. We stopped, checked to see if there were any advertised pictures of food (huge no-no for us), and when all looked well, we decided to give it a go. WOWZERS!!!! When I say that was one of the best meals I had in Italy, that's saying a lot. My husband had the steak with gorgonzola and honey. I had the three pepper tenderloin pork. I'm horrible at finishing my food but this time I nearly cleared my plate! The only disappointment was when we went back there to grab to-go lunches before our trip into Rome. They didn't have any to-go boxes :(. At this point, I'm almost inclined to make a special trip back on our way out of Italy just to experience their food again. Soooo goooood.

Stopped here after a long 4 hour tour around the nearby museums and we were welcomed right in by a…read morefriendly waiter The Greek salad was full of fresh veggies but could probably have used a bit more dressing. The Cacio e Pepe didn't have much of a taste. Noodles weren't quite al dente and the cheese was a bland (cheddar?) cheese. Even after adding Parmesan and salt, still wasn't into it

The food is absolutely fantastic regardless of what you order. Portions at just the right size and reasonable price for Florence city center. The service is efficient and very friendly. The waiter recommended the cheesecake which didn't consider and it was one of the best I've tried. I look forward to my next visit.

Made a reservation well in advance. Arrived for our dinner and were immediately seated. The…read morerestaurant is good looking and very welcoming. We looked at the menu and decided on a couple of things...the Burrata with Truffles, Eggplant Parmigiana, Cacio e Pepe, and a side of Tuscan White Beans. We ordered food and drinks. Drinks arrived within 2 minutes and lo and behold our Burrata Salad arrived Two minutes later...and yes I timed it. I asked that our food be slowed down and also asked that it not be cooked and served cold. We finished our Burrata with a Truffles which I might add was delicious. And within a reasonable few minutes our food arrived. The Cacio e Pepe was delightful but could have had a bit more Pepe. The Tuscan White Beans were perfect with a hint of spice which made them special. I wish I could say the Eggplant Parmigiana was equally as good as the rest of the meal. It was not. It was way over cooked - almost burned. Guess it just stayed in the oven while we slowed down our meal. We managed to delay our meal enough that we were actually in the restaurant a bit over an hour. I can't say service was lacking I would describe it as more overwhelming...almost uncomfortable. Atmosphere - 4 Food - 3 Service - 2 Price - 4 Overall Rating - 3.25

The staff are endlessly patient, and will happily work with you to figure out exactly what it is that you're in the mood for. Add in an utterly pleasant atmosphere, that encourages lingering over your glass of wine, with some munchies from the kitchen, and this is sure to turn into _your_ happy place! (And yeah, of course you can buy that bottle(s) of wine that you decided you really like!)

If I get this right, they offer a different "theme" of dishes on different days of the week (closed on Tuesday), from pasta to fish to a foreign country theme (in my case it was the latter, the country being Morocco). So you order an aperitivo and dishes from the special menu. Each dish is only €3 (!!) but then they seem to add a surcharge of €3 per drink during aperitivo hour. Slightly strange concept and very penalising for a committing alcoholic like myself ;-) The Moroccan aperitivo menu consisted of an antipasto option (mixed starter), a primo (cous cous) and a secondo (some meat dish). I had a big lunch so only had the starter (see picture - quite tasty) and took the remaining calorie balance in liquid form. Speaking of which - the cocktail menu offers some interesting options (not all of the classics are listed, but these guys seem to know their stuff, just ask for what you want) and compared to the Rivalta Caffé, the drinks are balanced less sweet here. They have an interesting selection of vermouth, with some labels that are hard to come by outside of Italy. They also understand their bitters, with the likes of Bittermen's, Fee Brothers, Bitter Truth, Booker's and others present. There is also a comprehensive wine list and a menu with some other food options. I will certainly be back!
