Went here every day (except Mondays) for my 4 months studying abroad in Florence. This place and their owners, Leonardo and his son Michele, make this a perfect example of how welcoming local Italian spots can be. Incredibly high quality Italian wines from small producers, a beautiful arrange of gins, and delectable spritzes differentiate this wine bar from most others in Florence's busy center. The unassuming shop's prime location on Via Ricasoli, right between the Duomo and La Accademia, might seem like another tourist trap near the main attractions. It is absolutely the opposite of that. Highest quality drinks (try the Hugo Spritz!) and such great people if you take the time to chat. Once you have a drink at Antiche, it'll be 100% clear how much passion goes into this store to create such a special experience. I am not one to write such dramatic reviews, but I hope to at least give a look into how special this place is. If you are ever in Florence in need of a pre-dinner Aperitivo or a post dinner drink with a friend, this is the spot. Ciao, Michele! read more
