Short Review:
Decent cocktails, but not a large lounge. Sure, you can see the top of the Duomo but all else is literally rooftops. Unimpressive views.
Long Review:
Met some friends at this rooftop bar which is in the Gallery Hotel Art building. It's a nice perk for the hotel guests, but if you're coming off the street you may want to consider some other places.
First off, we got seated - by reservation only - and it took the waiter about 10 minutes to come grab our order. I guess things work slower in Italy, but this group of thirsty Americans were a little put off by that. And really only because the place isn't that big so it can't seat a lot of people. Once served, we got some table nosh (chips and nuts) which was a nice compliment to the really good cocktails they have on the menu.
The views atop this building a great, but you're really only looking at rooftops. Whomp whomp. You can see the top of the Duomo, but still. If you're looking for a view over the Arno River, look for another spot. read more
