    Incredibly friendly lady behind the bar. We arrived way past lunchtime, the kitchen was closed but they still took the time to make us a salad and toast. She explained us the ingredients in every salad and showed us the possible drinks in the fridge because they no longer have a menu due to covid. Food was great! Service amazing! Prices very good. We advice you to go there for lunch instead of the busy city center!

    Wonderful little place. We were looking for somewhere to relax in for our last night in Florence and Luigi gave us such a welcome we stayed til the end, chatting away with locals. Highly recommended for a little break from the cramped tourist areas.

    Great little spot to grab a glass of wine and enjoy some free snacks provided by the owner. Very low key and friendly. A welcome respite!

    Really lovely “local” bar. Barman/owner was very friendly. Food and drink was perfect, particularly for the low price.

    Wine&Lunch! Maily for lunch, there is a very small menu. Italian's that work are coming for lunch. Simple and tasty

    During our trip to Firenze in March, my girlfriend and I wandered in here late one evening. The owner, Luigi, was extremely friendly and a very interesting guy. We ended up sitting out front talking to him and drinking beer for nearly an hour. Grazie per la sua ospitalita, Luigi! Looking forward to coming back the next time we're in Italy.

    We loved this cafe for our morning cappuccino and brioche. Lovely service, and relaxed environment. Prices were reasonable too.

    Ridiculously unfriendly and rude lady. The only thing we did was changed the table from inside to outside and this old lady shouted at us as if we committed a crime. There is another cafe right opposite it. I would recommend that both in terms of food and behavior.

    Good Sandwich and espresso. Owers speak fluent English. Reasonable price with free wifi. Really chill and cozy. I would definitely come back next time. Grazie!

    Came here for aperitivo, the aperol spritz was delicious and the complementary food was also very good! The owner was very nice and gave great service, always checking to see if we needed anything! Would recommend!!

    Great hidden gem! Really reasonably priced drinks - cocktails €7, local (generous pour) wine €5. Owner really lovely and provides free snacks, also attentive to allergies! Would highly recommend!

    Cozy cocktail lounge with outdoor seating and a private back room. Nice location, authentic, nice snacks at aperitivo time. Friendly and professional staff. Reasonable prices.

    Owner/staff super friendly. Great place for a few glasses of wine

  • 5/5 John D. 1 year ago on Google
    Owner (or at least the man behind the bar) was super nice. He offered us a small dish of pasta as a side on the house. If youre in the area and looking for a quick stop to take a break, stop here.

  • 5/5 Alyssa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to stop, rest & get away from the crowds. The owner was incredibly nice & the bar snacks were great. I got coffee while my friend got wine, both were good!

  • 5/5 Elisa B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place just by Florence's city centre. Customer service over the expectations and pasta's straw was absolutely the most eco-friendly idea ever!

  • 4/5 Penny H. 4 years ago on Google
    Very friendly bar with delightful early evening aperitivo -always different every time we visit. Nice prices too!

    Our local place for coffee and a quick snack turned out to be one of our favorite spots in Florence. Luigi and Laura are a superb team. Drop in anytime and something is happening at the High Bar. Free snacks at happy hour, great drinks and wine, delicious light dinner, 80s music, locals, and a fun vibe. Friendly, helpful, and plenty of humor. We miss the High Bar. Go and enjoy!

    Nice friendly little place which understands n plays to its strengths. I was exhausted and wanted something simple to eat at home. I ordered their risotto because I needed a change from wheat. I expected it to be okay, but it was utterly delicious: one of the best I've ever eaten.

    Great little bar. Very nice feel. Perfect for a beer or a coffee or something to eat!

  • 5/5 Kooroush M. 1 year ago on Google
    We stumbled on this place when we didn’t have reservations, Luigi was extremely kind and attentive, their wine was delicious and we had a lovely evening! They also served their wine with food for no extra charge! Highly recommend

😐 Not gonna lie, this is probably the most underwhelming Eataly location I've ever visited. Eataly locations are usually grandiose with impeccable service, but this one felt like a little corner store in Disneyland.
