Most people stopped for drinks but we actually had dinner. Steaks were a bit tough. Good flavors though. read more

Awful experience, dishonest, and overpriced. Florence is such an amazing city, there are so many other places to spend your money.

Wow. We were charged a "cover" charge for the "bread and oil " of 12e. Burger was a hockey puck of burnt meat. Expensive. No wonder there were empty tables. Avoid read more

Terrible food. Terrible music. You're in florence and they're playing rap music on the streets servicing hamburgers. Nice to sit outside. That was the only good part. read more

Beware. There is a 5 euro cover charge which they don't tell you about. Soft drink was 5 euro as well. Food was decent.

Our experience here was very limited, but it seemed like a cool enough place. It was pouring rain and, after crossing the bridge, we were soaked. It was necessary to stop somewhere, dry off, and, hey, let's grab a drink! We had a couple beers, which were served with free chips, and soaked in some of the local scene. Tons of people here seemed to know each other and were popping in for a quick espresso or a snack. Apparently at night, the place can get pretty busy. It served its purpose for us and everyone was nice. read more

Easy-going modern bar south of the river near to the trendy San Niccolo area. Good for coffee and a light lunch. In good weather Zoe's has great seating outside - so go for a couple of drinks there in the summer. Food is alright but not great. read more

The family gives Zoe 4 stars (votes ranged from 3 to 4.5). After eating the aperitivos (aka free appetizers when you buy a drink), we ordered dinner. I had penne pasta with mozzarella and basil. A bit al dente, good flavor, could have used some more cheese. Mediterranean burger - yes extensive burger menu. No bun, no fries... But still got a 4. Three club sandwiches with fries. Al eaten, no complaints. Received the 4.5 from our pickiest eater. Ichnusa beer on draft from Sardinia. A solid alternative to Italian beer. Two negatives that we adapted to...no English menu and not the fastest. All in all, a great stop on the way to the Piazzale Michelangelo. Enjoy! read more

BAD Food WORST service ever in florence...we had to ask for the bill around 6 times and the place was empty they charge you a cover charge for food (ridiculous) we had a couple of salads and two drinks and a carpaccio and we ended up paying around a 100 euros AVOID THIS PLACE IT'S A SCAM Ohh and don't ask to pay with more than one card they won't let you (first timer in florence after visiting more than 20+ restaurants) read more

Food was good but it was over shadowed by the end of meal service. They were unwilling to split the bill and then asked us if we had a pen when they brought out the check. read more

Staff was unfriendly and snooty. Husband's Chianti was awful, as thought it had been open for several days in hot heat. He exchanged it for beer. My parpadelle ai funghi was very good. His pizza seemed prepared ahead with mushrooms added as afterthought as they were cold. Several tables of patrons appeared frustrated and annoyed. I overheard complaints of prices vs quality. Staff seemed disorganized. Go someplace else! read more

Little gem. Sit inside with powerful AC and Futbol streaming. Italian cheeseburger with pesto and burrata was delish. Club sandwich came with fries! Both salads were fresh and tasty. read more

We made a quick stop to get out of the rain on our way to another site. Zoe seemed very heavy with locals getting espresso and some casual lunch. While we only had a drink with some complementary chips it seems like it would be a descent place for a cheap lunch. read more

Delicious. Got here during very busy lunch rush so service was a bit slow and disorganized. But the food made up for it. read more

I liked this place more a few years ago, where I used to hang out here for drinks only. The ambient is quite chic and music is nice, maybe a little bit louder than expected for its purpose. There's also an outdoor terrace, so it's quite spacious. They have an happy hour with lot of sandwiches and some first courses (mainly pasta), I prefer when the aperitivo has to offer vegetables too. Also drinks may have to improve, but I always go for a glass of wine that it's unlikely disappointing. read more

Oh the genius of Italian aperativo. So it's the end of our week long vacation in Florence and I am B-R-O-K-E. My boyfriend informs me that we are meeting a friend for drinks and I was shocked when I noticed that the average drink price (before dinner itself) was like €7. It was then that I discovered the magic of Italian aperativo. You get free food with your drink! AMAZING! Meaning that you get a pretty decent dinner along with a cocktail for the price of just a drink. The food here is buffet style and you can go up and get it from the bar area starting around 6:30pm. It's full of several salad varieties, tasty rice dishes, and pieces of pizza with dips. The food changes every day or so and although the waitress is grouchy and inattentive, the location is lively and scenic enough to keep me happy. There are several places around which also do aperativo, but I hear that the food is not as nice nor the place as fun. Plus, the outside, shaded seating allows for a nice view and a feeling of belonging to the relaxed 20-something year old crowd that comes here for a early evening drink. Bello, Zoe! read more

I have spent the past week in Italy and wanted a break from pizza and pasta. I stumbled across this place around 7 PM and ordered a Mexican burger and Mai Tai. The burger was delicious, the patty was wrapped in cheese and topped with guacamole, spicy sauce, lettuce and tomato. The fries were deliciously crispy and the drink was worth every cent. It is a bit more expensive than other places I have been to, but I would come again to try their happy hour special: buffet and a drink for 10€. read more

Really wish I wouldn't have blown a ton of money on this place. Bad customer service, bad flavor, bad pieces. Just bad bad bad!

Food was okay if you're tired of Italian food and want a taste of American again. Burger was good, fries too... wine was typical Italian Chianti, a bit overpriced compared to other local places, but still great compared to the states. Overall it wasn't bad. That said, we've had some of the best food ever in Italy. So coming here is like having a burger back in the states. Just set your expectations accordingly and you'll enjoy a good burger and fries read more

The food was good but overshadowed by the very rude waitress! We witnessed her rude attitude with other patrons as well. Also charged a 5 Euro cover charge at 2pm. Too bad she will chase away a lot of business! read more

WORST SERVICE EVER! Expensive bad service and very very bad food Avoid this place dont waste your money here! read more

Ended up here as we walked the area. The food was just okay. The kids loved the plain cheeseburger. Service was typical of most Italian eateries, but they wouldn't split the bill in half. Would I travel to Italy to eat here? No. If I was in need of a meal while walking buy? Meh. read more

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE AMERICAN!! This place was so great for my friends and I on our study abroad--the food and drinks were so delicious and the service was great UNTIL they forced us to leave after taking our time and spending 248 euros there. Sitting outside, we were enjoying ourselves, not being loud whatsoever, and they rushed us when we were enjoying ourselves--very disappointing, wish we had a better experience here read more

Come here to reserve the table outside, but inside it's loud and stuffy. The music is hit or miss. The staff are usually pretty friendly so that's a plus. Quality very inconsistent so stick to wines and beers- basically things that cannot be screwed up. Plus they have a decent selection of wines for being a bar for the "cool" kids- not necessarily the foodie/drink types. read more

Not only were we disappointed with the quality of the dishes- but mostly with the atrocious service. We were seated inside, where no other guests had chosen to sit, and received no service worth praising. Our waitress glanced at us with empty eyes, as if she expected us to print our check ourselves. Furthermore, when our check did finally arrive, they expected us to pay a "service" fee, which was the very worst part of the experience from the start. While this is a required fee in Italy, it only furthered the divide between ourselves and the experience we had hoped for. Hence to forth, we would not return. read more

Guess we should have gotten on yelp before going to this place. We didn't know about the free appetizers, and they didn't inform us. €7 for a glass of wine is high for this area. read more

One of my favorite apertivo in firenze! Food is good, drinks are good, has outdoor area, and gets packed.

After climbing and seeing the view of Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo, we stumbled into this restaurant about 2pm, as we were quite peckish and seen the word "brunch." We ordered a caesar salad and eggs-benedict. The caesar came with eggs, ham, and cheese -- we'd call that a cobb salad back home -- and fried chicken bits too; was just very odd. We asked, and was informed that's how they made a caesar salad. It was sent back and a bowl of lettuce and tomatoes with dressing (called sauce) replaced it. The eggs benedict was poached eggs served on zucchini and carrot slices. With french fries. The poach was good. The staff was very indifferent to us, to the point of dismissing us. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Hookah is horrible doesn't blow any smoke. Bad customer service. Would not fix problem or refund our money. Don't go there, find the next spot to go to! read more
