Lit almost entirely by candle light and furnished with antique furniture, this lounge is warm and intimate. You almost get the feeling that you've stepped into a 20's era cult gathering.

Review for Ebys Bar-…read more WHAT A FUN SPOT AND CONCEPT!! I've heard of Ebys and the notorious owner since I studied abroad in 2019. After recently returning to Florence I had the opportunity to give this bar a try and was blown away by the nightlife and attention to detail with each shot. There are 3 components to Ebys- the Latin food bar across the street, the Ebys bar, and the shot window located near the bar and outdoor seating. There is usually a long line while everyone waits for the owner to hand-craft a specialty shot. We ordered the Mexicano shot and were blown away by his attention to detail. Just when we thought it was over, he pulled out an additional ingredient. There's almost a layer of comedy to how elaborate these shots are. He also explained to us that before taking the shots we have to do a little bow, bite the apple, and then take the shot. So fun! Definitely one of a kind. If you want to order a regular drink, you can go inside. We ordered a Negroni, aperol spritz, and some beers which were great!

If that's your scene then by all means, drop on by. I do have to say this though. You will wait for your drink. Only 1 bartender and the orders stack up. Even for a small place, the service is slow. But, if you just relax, enjoy the scenery, do a little people watching, there's no problem at all. None whatsoever.

Then after confirming everything, it then stated in the confirmation email that this was €35 PER PERSON. Nowhere did it say per person prior, in fact I went back and took screenshots of the site to make sure after I saw this. That means your €21 (or so) cocktails cost us €35, which logically makes absolutely no sense at all. This definitely felt really shady. I even asked the server about the €35 deposit and he said it would go towards the first round, not that it is the PRICE of a first round. A reservation is required and that reservation requires the first cocktail to be significantly more expensive that the menu price. The service and drinks were impeccable, it's a shame this really unclear and shady practice is what keeps me from giving a 5 star review.

I guess it's a well regarded restaurant in its own right, but it was also just a good, useful hotel lobby lounge. The space was attractive, like the rest of the hotel, with a clean, pleasing contemporary look. White walls, blue and white upholstery, brown leather. Wide windows overlooking the Arno. It was nice as both a bar in the evening and a casual breakfast spot in the morning, very relaxing with great service. Cocktails were excellent, creative and well made. On the light side, I liked both the Basil and the Conte di Picche. The Basil was a cool, herbal drink with Portofino dry gin, Persichetto liqueur, basil-infused Martini Ambrato, rhubarb Nardini, Fernet Branca, and lime cordial. The Conte di Picche mixed Winestillery Old Tom gin with a Nardini bitter blend and raspberry wine. On the stronger side, the Smoked Boulevardier was a boozy, balanced cocktail made with Michter's Kentucky bourbon, Campari, Carpano Antica, and Toro Ratafia. The Cocoa combined Michter's bourbon with Michter's rye, Roger amaro, Pedro Ximenez San Emilio, and cocoa beans. Smooth and tasty. Breakfast was included with our stay, and we took advantage of both the buffet and the basic a la carte menu. The buffet was small but with all the essentials and more than a few extras. Good soft scrambled eggs and sausage, little poppy seed rolls piled with smoked salmon and basil. I'm not much of a pastry person, but I couldn't resist a fluffy cream-filled maritozzo, which went beautifully with the house cappuccino, thick with milk foam. The kitchen menu was short and simple: oatmeal, various preparations of eggs, and omelets with a choice of fillings. I got one with sausage, spinach, and mushroom, and it was quite satisfying. I liked Picteau enough that I'd recommend it to anyone traveling through Florence, whether or not they're staying at Hotel Lungarno. I especially liked it, though, as a guest. Just a lovely spot to roll in for breakfast or an easy drink.

BLUF: a truly 5-star dining experience in a beautiful setting…read more We went to Picteau restaurant for our final dinner in Italy, and are glad we did. it is located in the Lungarno hotel. If you are going to dine there, be sure to make a reservation and if the weather is nice request a patio table. The patio is small, but it's a great experience to be out there overlooking the river while you eat. Service is both friendly and top-notch. Waiter seemed to know the right time to come to the table w/o being obtrusive, and kept the meal flowing all along. The food was exquisite. One thing to know is that the starters are big enough for two. We didn't know that so we got two. The first was a caprese salad, which came with a chunk of buffalo mozzarella the size of a softball, creamy and delicious. It also had orange and red cherry tomatoes, which were sweet as they were but came in a delicious italian herb dressing. The other starter was beef carpaccio, which came on a bed of arugula and covered with parmesan slices. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, the best carpaccio I've ever had. For the main entree we both got the same thing, burrata ravioli in zuchini and saffron cream. OMG, it was great. If it wasn't such a fine restaurant I would've licked my plate clean. For dessert we shared something called a Bongo, which was custard filled bigne with cocoa and espresso sprinkled on it, along with some ice cream. Really delicious This place is not cheap, but if you are on a budget and planning one "big dinner" night, do it here.
