The menu changes every day so they make things fresh as they receive them from the market. I had ricotta and spinach stuffed ravioli with mushroom and sausage on top, YUMMY! My friend had roasted chicken and potatoes and loved their meal too. If you're American and traveling like me the value is completely worth it. €2 for house wine (which is from Tuscany) and €3 euro for wine from Naples! Would definitely recommend as a casual meal!

It is a great location close to the duomo and right down the road from the Galleria dell'Accademia. The blackberry and apricot croissants were our favorite. We absolutely love the ginseng coffee since we've been in Italy. It isn't on every menu but from what we've found most cafes have it even if not on the menu. We asked for it here and it was the best one we've had yet!! It looks small from the front but there is a good size seating area in the back and a little outside courtyard. Definitely recommend!

Really relaxing vibe with old furniture. If you only order drinks, they give you a small platter of snacks to munch on, it being some fruit and crackers with dip. So cute! I also heard their sandwiches are good here. No sit in fee as well, but they do accept tips. Also each spritz aperol is 4 euro and is very good.

Amblè is a hidden gem in Florence's city center. It is seated in a small piazza, one block from the…read morearno and a 4 minute walk from the ponte vecchio. Whether you sit indoors or outdoors, the café provides a pleasant and beautiful escape from crowds of surrounding streets. The servers are extremely friendly. The space attracts a diverse crowd. You can find groups of people doing work, people reading, or just eating and chatting. There are people of all ages, mostly Italian, and even a few families. The restaurant is extremely aesthetically pleasing and well decorated with a variety of found furniture and antiques-- including rows of old theater seats, which were creatively used as table seating and crates of fresh fruits and vegetables lining the wall. The café has a fantastic selection of both food and drink. One can chose from a variety of sandwiches that are atypical of Florentine paninis with ingredients such as hummus. For all of their sandwiches, the crust is removed baked into delicious and crisp croutons. There is also a selection of salads, hot plates, pastries, and specials. They serve a variety of fresh, seasonal juices. The cocktail menu is extensive and includes creative, locally sourced and seasonal drinks. Amblé exemplifies style, coziness, and sustainability-- setting the eatery apart from others in Florence.

He is incredibly rude and commented on the amount of food we each ordered, even though we ordered one dish for each course (a 4 course meal). The environment is so uncomfortable. the Dining room is honestly dirty. I came here once when Lapo, the pony tail man wasn't working, and it was the best time so far. He sucks. And he will ruin your evening, sorry. He threw my napkin on the ground in front of my entire group which was uncalled for and disrespectful in such a "nice" restaurant. He is HORRIBLE

I had spaghetti yesterday and told I have the gnocchi with scampi. This dish had a kick and was very delicious and filling.

The sandwiches are a pretty generous size and are more than enough for a full sized man who's worked up an appetite walking all over Florence all morning. The service was also fantastic. They were very friendly. They entertained my terrible efforts to speak Italian and gently followed up in English without being condescending about it. I was there with my obviously pregnant wife and they made all sorts of generous offers to make sure she was comfortable. They brought some genuine warmth to the sandwich ordering experience. The shop is small and the space is tight, but the vibe is also pretty great. It has warm woods in its interior... it doesn't feel industrial... and there are subtle, natural distinctly Florentine elements, but it's also legible as a version of the friendly "mom and pop" sandwich shop as you'd find in many cities in many countries and in my and many others' home towns. An all around great sandwich shop.

This restaurant is technically outside, but it's entirely covered by plastic and has heat lamps going to keep you warm. The inside looks like you're eating at a 5-star restaurant. Nice table linens, comfy couches/seats, and waiters dressed the the nines. Even the guys outside trying to direct you inside are in suits. Amazing. At this point in my stay, I was almost at my carb limit, so I went in with the intention of getting a gigantic salad. But, I couldn't pass up the pizza bufala. I wish that there was more meat on the pizza, but I really did like the thinly slices pieces of tasso ham. This pizza is pretty moist, as the mozzarella is fresh. I did have a side salad with olive oil and balsamic, with a complimentary basket of bread. You know, just in case I hadn't already had a million carbs already. The service was great. I never had to ask for anything, and the wait staff conversed with me in Italian (many other restaurants had answered me in English even when I spoke in Italian). It was a nice perk to be seated right in the midst of Piazza della Repubblica so that I could watch all the passersby walking the street. And it was an extra nice touch to have the inside heating. I think the prices are comparable to other restaurants in the area. I would definitely come back during my next visit to Firenze.
