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.

Was visiting from Los Angeles, and wanted to get a feel for the local scene in Florence…read more At first I did not know what to expect, I stumbled upon this gem on my way back from another bar - and saw a bunch of young locals hanging out front, playing foosball and filling the air with good vibes. I decided to go in, and the owner and his friends noticed I came in alone - gave me a couple shots on the house, and the conversations started flowing. Despite language barriers, we still managed to have a very hype night. I loved the interior decor - alot of Japanese anime influence, mixed with gritty Irish/Italian flare. Appreciate the hospitality and will for sure be back for some sauce!

The staff here are friendly and have such a great sense of humor. They were definitely a huge part of our good experience. Thier choice in music was sensastional as well. The semi industrial look of the inside blends well with the exposes brick walls and the comic printing plates decorating where we sat. I got the lasanga, which was perfect. The cheese is so creamy with the contrast of the tart tomato sauce- I couldn't stop taking a bite when it was fresh from the oven, risking burns. Of the dishes my family ordered the other stand out was the carbonara. I cannot find words to describe how good the sauce was. Anyways it was such an experience that I'm writing this while wating for breakfast at Nostrale.

A taste of the states in Florence, Italy…read more Believe it or not, when you're traveling in Italy for 12 days and pretty much only drinking prosecco and aperol spritz's this was a WELCOME change of pace. P.S. if you didn't know, cocktail culture in Italy is not a thing. This was one of the ONLY cocktail bars we stumbled upon during our trip and the atmosphere brought us in from the street. The atmosphere is hipster, retro, memorable and fun! The cocktail list is TO DIE FOR. The owner who was serving us, spent two years in the states mastering the art to bring it back. The list was super creative and well balanced for the season and heat. I opted for a cocktail with fresh squeed Grapefruit, Gin, fresh JUNIPER BERRIES, rosemary and elderflower tonic. It was served in a giant wine glass with ice and they give you the tonic on the side so you can make it as strong as you want. I thought this presentation was lovely, whimsical and fun. The cocktail was one of the best I've ever had and that is saying A LOT. Since I've been back I cannot stop thinking about it. For my second I got a blackberry, sage drink. It was good, but not nearly as memorable as the first. The hubs got an aperol spritz again, and to finish we got some sparkling rose - perfect for a hot night. We just did not want to leave this place! The service, the quality, the atmosphere. This place is killer!

The evening we were there, we were the only Americans so don't think this is just where Americans go. I ordered a Cosmo and it was fantastic with a bit of a kick. For my second drink I ordered the Do you speak Italian and umm wow...I think it knocked me off my stool. The bartender warned me in advance but I was up for anything. My friend ordered the Save the Cranberry beer which she said was "pretty legit" and angry bastard which is funny I remember that being a thing in the states... People were playing darts and they had an open area that was great for people watching...unless everyone was outside smoking. Oh and the tv played 90s alternative videos...I got nostalgic over some Nada Surf.

The space is tiny but curated in a way that represents the surrounding oltrarno very well, a bar of bottles, beautiful hand-craved Santo Spirito facade chairs and cozy booths. When I think of a (good) aperitivo this is what immediately comes to mind, the quality of products used are excellent. We tried a crostoni with burrata cheese and anchovies that was packed with flavor. Also our cheese and spicy mostarda (salsas) were spot on. We tried an 'orange' wine for Sicily that was one of the best I've had, really special wine for those who appreciate the region's rich wines. Go there, not in a big group and feel like you are in a little corner of Florence, mi piace troppo!
