We took a chance at Oibo at lunch time since it was just right there. There were a few tables and chairs and it looked like it could be a club/lounge at night so we could only hope they had something edible. We got seated in the back which had more tables and chairs. I ordered the bistecca alla Fiorentina that comes with fried potatoes. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked. The steak was huge so I ended up cutting it in half to give to my sister. It was bloodier than my usual medium-rare so I had it re-fired without a problem. I think they only used salt to season the meat but it was incredibly good and flavorful. Less is more. We were really surprised by how good the food was. What was even more surprising was the price. It's quite inexpensive. It was a happy chance incident.

The bartender made me an off menu whiskey cocktail with fresh fruit and cinnamon that was delish. I appreciate that they use fresh ingredients, I had the passionfruit rum drink and saw the bartender put a fresh passionfruit in the drink - it was so fragrant and tasty! They are incredibly friendly and I also felt really comfortable hanging out there solo as a female, alone having drinks.

Rasputin is not just a cocktail lounge, it is an entire experience…read more You've first got to make a reservation, then find the location, and once you step through the dark alleyway door you descend into an entirely new world. Lit almost entirely by candle light and furnished with antique furniture, this lounge is warm and intimate. You almost get the feeling that you've stepped into a 20's era cult gathering. Perfect for a date night or small get together. The cocktail selection includes some of the most intriguing and exotic ingredients you'll find in a drink, from soy sauce and Jerk Spice Seasoning to yoghurt and black pepper. They are primarily a whiskey bar but their cocktails run the gamut when it comes to spirit selections. If you find yourself passing through Florence you absolutely HAVE TO find time for even just one of these unique concoctions.

Then they made us sit at a tiny awkward table in the corner due to missing the reservation time. Again, this is while the entire room and all normal tables were empty. Only a couple of people arrived over the next hour. The atmosphere was very cool and the drinks were strong and delicious but 24 Euros each. Mixed experience for sure. We probably would have loved it and stayed longer had they just given us one of the many empty normal tables instead of punishing us for no reason.

There's even free restrooms to use which was a nice bonus!
