Open everyday from 6 am to 9 pm, great since most bars in this area are closed on Sundays. The pastries (€1.10) were fresh and tasty but the cappuccino (€1.30) was just okay.

The service was friendly and no extra charge for sitting. L'ex-Caffè Michelangelo appena riaperto questa settimana con un atmosfera lounge lux ... lampadari ed affreschi inclusi. Aperto tutti i giorni dalle 06:00 alle 21:00, perfetto perché la maggior parte dei bar in questa zona sono chiusi la domenica. La pasta (€ 1.10) era fresca ed il cappuccino (1,30 €) così cosi. Servono anche il pranzo e non vedo l'ora di provare il loro aperitivo serale. Stanno ancora aspettando il permesso, ma si spera che presto avranno i tavolini all'esterno. Il servizio era gentile e senza alcun costo aggiuntivo per sedersi al tavolo.

The music choice is very upbeat and popish which sets the tone as a more fun place to go. The food was fresh and unique. The risotto had apple and rosemary which was good if you want something different. Pros: Good for a fun lunch due to ambience and music Unique and healthy food choices - some traditional American foods such as chicken salad and hamburgers with chips as well as other unique Italian dishes Relatively inexpensive for Florence standards less than 15 euro per dish Cons: Some of the flavoring was a bit too unique such as the risotto with apple, seasoning and rosemary

Since there is no listing available for that location on Yelp, I'm leaving it here: We were here 3 years ago June 2017. This place was incredible! Yes, it's true that the staff was not the most "smiliest" of people, but they put together one of the best charcuteries we had in Italy. They did not tell us the prices as we picked what we wanted on the board, so we thought we were in for a rude awakening when we'd get the bill at the end considering how elegant and high end the place looks. Well, we DID get a surprise when we got the bill, but it was a GOOD surprise. We were astonished at how inexpensive it was!! No, they aren't the friendliest, but this is one of the most beautifully designed VyTA's I've seen and you'll get one of the best charcuterie's in town for a great price!! Worth the visit!!
