They have 2 sides of the roof, one doesn't face the duomo. There are inside tables as well if the outside is full. They save the outside duomo view tables for reservations, but you can get a walk up if they have it. At first they didn't have anything so we sat inside then they let us move outside to the duomo view. Amazing views perfect in the evening. Had a aperol and Hugo spritz. Delicious and came with some chips. Service was good. Highly recommend!

The ambience is light, bright, and fast paced. People are popping in quickly for a doughnut, or a pastry, or perhaps even a fast lunch.

We were looking for a quieter, "less touristy" place to have aperitivo hour and found Il Vinile…read more Walking in, it's a cute place, decorated with Rock and Roll in mind. It's shotgun style, walking straight to the back at the bar with tables lining the sides. There is some outdoor space but more like "closer to the open door" space. The person working was nice but you could tell she was like "Americans," if you get my drift. The other couple we were with were very (how do you say this nicely without making your best friend mad at you) frenetic and indecisive and at one point the bartender says, "You know you can ask me for recommendations right?" Lol! I almost died from holding in laughter. I'd like to think we made eye contact and did the "mm hmmm" together and she was pretty cool after that. The cocktails are fairly basic but really good. I got a special one that I cannot remember the name of but it had some weird components that went together so well. It was like a riff on a mojito with St Germain. Quite impressed. I also had a Cynar spritz, which I am completely in love with now. Check out this cute little spot, you won't regret it.

Siamo stati in questo locale il 24 ottobre nel primo pomeriggio…read more Io e il mio ragazzo abbiamo ordinato due Aperol Spritz. Il cameriere ci ha detto che la macchina per il pagamento con carta non funzionava e ha provato a passare le nostre carte tre volte, assicurandoci poi che non era stato effettuato alcun addebito. Abbiamo quindi pagato in contanti. Più tardi, però, abbiamo controllato l'estratto conto e abbiamo visto che l'addebito di 36 euro era stato fatto comunque. Siamo tornati subito al ristorante: il proprietario ci ha detto che probabilmente si trattava di un errore della banca e che, se non fosse stato stornato, potevamo tornare per il rimborso. La mattina successiva (prima di lasciare Firenze) siamo tornati ancora una volta. Abbiamo parlato con lo stesso cameriere, che ci ha detto di non poter rimborsare senza il proprietario e ha preso i nostri contatti, promettendo che saremmo stati contattati in giornata. Da allora nessuna risposta, nessuna e-mail, e il numero di telefono del locale non funziona. Abbiamo quindi perso 36 euro e nessuno si è fatto vivo per risolvere il problema. Un'esperienza davvero deludente e poco seria.

I hate a QR code menu, but I'll make an exception for Locale. Because Locale is the best. Don't…read morebelieve me? Reasons Why Locale Is The Best: 1. It's ranked #22 on the World's Best Bars list, so it's not just me telling you this. Well, I suppose it's only the 22nd best, but out of the world? That's still the best in my book. 2. They brought us free drinks with our drinks. There was a little starter Americano right when we sat down, and then a little goodbye shot when we left. I like free drinks. (The actual drinks will run you 20 euro apiece, which is pricey for Florence, but not the most expensive we encountered...and basically average for NYC.) 3. They brought us free snacks with our drinks. Little pickled veggies, and some delightfully spiced nuts. Deez nuts are quite tasty. 4. The service is so eager to please (see all the aforementioned lagniappe). They filled my water up 37 times and I was only there for 45 minutes. They cobbled together seating for our 8-person party in about 5 minutes, despite being busy. And everyone was exceptionally nice, with the slight exception of the stunning hostess, who I don't think has the ability to smile. 5. The space is bright and airy, with living walls and a retractable roof that brings in fresh air when the weather is nice, and closes up when it gets too cool in the evening. 6. I mentioned the menu, and how I generally despise a QR code...but theirs is hilarious, and thoughtful, and entertaining. The cocktails, in addition to being interesting and well-balanced and delicious, are all accompanied by a hand gesture, as Italians are wont to make. 7. The bartender is doing the most. Stirring many cocktails at once, throwing that bloody mary concoction back and forth in his shaker...I'm not sure if it does anything, but it was amongst the best bloodies I've ever had. So kudos to him. 8. Everything here is done with intention. The coasters, the business cards (that have the QR codes), the snacks, the cocktails. And everything is better when it's done with intention. Eight is enough, or so sitcom titles would have me believe.
