    We had reservation and sadly got there half an hour late. Nevertheless, they accepted our walk-in and we enjoyed snacks on the outdoor tables. Service was excellent!! View es breathtaking, specially during sunset hour. Highly recommend!

    Incredible rooftop bar in Florence. We walked in without a reservation, and were immediately seated at the absolute best corner table in the place. You have an amazing view of the river, bridges, and Florence skyline. Service was outstanding, the waitress always came over to check in and refill our wine glasses at just the right time. Drinks are a bit pricey as you would expect, but worth it for the incredible view, service, and ambience

    We are staying at the Westin and came to check out Sesto, as the hotel’s dinner outlet, right after check in. To say we were impressed would be a huge understatement! The views are phenomenal! Sesto hosts a beautiful terrace in the sixth floor, which opens fantastic landscape of Florence. Honestly, just the views would be enough for me to come back here, but… the food was also amazing!!! Our compliments to the chef. I tried tagliatelle with rabbit and truffle which happened to be THE BEST PASTA I’ve tried in Italy so far, and my husband had beef with asparagus, which was tender, juicy and just perfectly cooked. For dessert we got coconut mousse which was yummy. The service was impeccable, with all staff members working as a team and making sure that there is never a crumb on our table and we always have everything that we need :) Special THANK YOU TO EMMA for taking excellent care of us and to CHIARA, a lovely hostess who helped us with other recommendations for the city. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and we already have a reservation for our next dinner here. Dear Fellow Traveler, thank you for reading all the way through this review - please press THUMBS UP button if you found it helpful :) if you have questions about the restaurant, want to see more photos and videos or just want to say Hi, feel free to reach out to my INSTA @DARIA.NEWYORK ❤️ Cheers to good people, magnificent places and unique experiences!

    Breathtaking views but be prepared to spend money. We knew it was going to be expensive and we’re ready to splurge but this was a little above our budget. Cocktails are 20+ ranging from 22-25 EUR. The cheapest cocktail is the aperol spritz at 20 EUR. Otherwise it is a great place to watch the sunset for a special night in Florence. Not sure about the food it seemed very basic finger food like burger sliders but haven’t ordered so can’t judge that..

    A restaurant that I would recommend. First of all, we served a delicious meal prepared extraordinarily well. Thanks to the chef for the deliciousness prepared. I also liked the attention of the waiters and the serving of cutlery. But a big plus is that you can serve dinner with an extraordinary view of the city.

    Amazing views and great service but they really need to improve their mocktails list. A place charging this much for drinks should be able to make good non alcoholic drink. Especially since not drinking alcohol is on the rise. We ordered the spaghetti for €26 which was quite expensive but absolutely delicious. The breads provided were also really good. They only however had 3 non alcoholic drinks so the waitress recommended the wellspring which we ordered. That was honestly one of the grossest things we've ever tasted! We would have loved to go back for dinner but again I can't stress enough how gross that drink was. At €20 for non alcoholic drinks they should all be delicious! We still enjoyed our meal overall since the spaghetti was so good but please improve your mocktails for non drinkers!

    Truly a five star experience in Firenze (Florence). The ambiance is modern yet unobtrusive to the experience. The staff and service is beyond incredible and the sommelier had a truly in-depth knowledge of the wine cellar. The food was on par with any Michelin rated restaurant that I’ve ever been to.

    An ordinary fine dining, it was a rainy day so the view wasn't so clear. The portions were very small, especially the tartar. The service was a pass, but not enough for a five star restaurant.

  • 5/5 MARIUS B. 6 months ago on Google • 95 reviews
    The view from the terrace is superb over Florence, but, on the other hand, the service leaves much to be desired. I ordered 3 cocktails, and in the end, on the bill, they charged me for 4. Luckily, I was inspired to check, and I won't even mention that the order came half an hour after I reminded them of my order, which they had forgotten.

    Food, service, wine, view, atmosphere… everything just amazing to enjoy one of the best sunsets in Florence. Don’t miss this at least once in a lifetime. And be prepared to spend at least 200 euros per person if you want to enjoy indeed (believe me, it is worth it).

    - We have high praise for this restaurant/bar, overlooking the city, Duomo & Arno River. Thanks to Isabella & the team, my wife had the most wonderful birthday experience here. The food, the drinks & the views were top notch, and we felt first class all the way. My advice is to make a booking of you have a special celebration and want to see the best of Firenze. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We visited se•sto Rooftop Bar at dusk and had the pleasure of enjoying a beautiful sunset over the rooftops of Florence. On one side of the bar, you can witness the sunset, while on the other, you're treated to the splendid view of the Florence Cathedral. This dreamy panorama certainly adds to the charm, but it also reflects in the prices – €16 for a glass of white wine and €24 for an Aperol Spritz is quite steep. It's unfortunate that reservations aren't possible unless you plan to dine. Despite the pricing and the reservation limitation, the breathtaking views make it a memorable experience, especially during sunset.

    A great rooftop in Florence, one of the best in the city. I stayed in Westin hotel and I had my breakfast in this place. It was a great experience and the food was delicious. They serve a very good croissants 👌🏻

    What a place! What a view! What a service! There is no much to add to these words, but I will ( as always ). We visited this restaurant 2 times I one week period. 1st - for a regular hours dinner, 2nd - for a private event. 1st night experience was unforgettable. Night panoramic view on the canal, delicious food and bottle of Kosher wine. Portions are a little bit small for my personal preference, but everything was outstanding: fresh fish & salads, mediterranean spicing, meals were cooked till perfection! 2nd day experience: private brunch. I got lost with cheese platters & fruits. I didn't eat such a delicious cheeses in a long time. Highlight! Service is outstanding!

    So the view and the service is great 👍🏼🏆 But the drinks we had was terrible 😅 No flavor and the price was insane! 20€ for a Aperol Spritz and 22€ for the most flavorless drink I have ever had

    View and ambiance is a 10/10. Wine was a 10/10. Food for us was a 1/10. We were recommended the warm shrimp salad and it was raw fish combined with vegetables. Creates a slimy substance and was not edible. We decided to bail on dinner after that experience and went straight to dessert.

    After you pass one of the best Hotels of Florence and go on the roof to get a drink with an amazing view, you get good cocktails and wine (from a very big beverage list) you can enjoy an amazing gourmet finger food. A bit to the pricey point, but definitely worth it! Enjoy the view!

    At every stage of the experience was wonderful. Everyone is super nice and accommodating. We had lunch, grilled prawn salad and grilled octopus and it was delicious, filling yet light. The views are phenomenal from here. Must go if you stop by Florence

  • 5/5 Caralee B. 8 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    The food was incredible, the views were beautiful, the service was impecable. The music was terrible, at least while we were there. It felt like a U.S. night club. So that was off putting at lunch time in Florence. However, they still get 5 out of 5 for incredible service and some of the better food we had during our whole stay. We couldn’t get a dinner reservation, as they were booking a week out for that.

  • 4/5 Joe R. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible views and good drinks, but the price is steep. It is befitting a 5 star hotel but compared to most other establishments in Florence you may feel you can find a better value elsewhere.

  • 5/5 theguruyt 7 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Beautiful exuberant roof top bar with spectacular views across Florence, of the Duomo and other landmarks plus a glorious view along the length of River Arno. We enjoyed some great cocktails 🍹

  • 5/5 Shaun D. 2 years ago on Google
    Creative take without being too modern on local flavors, each dish presents the essence of the simple Italian cooking with the freshest ingredients and amazing layering of flavors, textures, colors and presentation. Service is phenomenal and the views are amazing. Be sure to make reservations for the restaurant days ahead when the town is busy. This is worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Jérémie C. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is absolutely lovely. Very romantic for a diner thanks to the stunning view and a very fancy restaurant to celebrate something with friends and family at the same time. They have a lovely menu and so the wine list. We were kindly advised for the wine regarding the choice of our food and it was a great match. Regarding the food, it was curious to see that starters were bigger portion than main course. Starters are not very refined or specific, it was more something standard. In another hand, the main course were very good and sophisticated. Prices are obviously high for Italy, but it’s not a crime. You will pay the view, the location, but more than that, a great service with professional and dedicated waiters.

    Rooftop bar with breathtaking view on Florence. You need to go into the Westin hotel and take the elevator to the top floor. The staff is super nice. However, it is also very expensive.

  • 5/5 Maria A. 11 months ago on Google
    The place is really spectacular and offers a stunning view over the city. The food was great and the service, as well. If you make a reservation, make sure it is next to the window so that you can enjoy your experience the most!

  • 4/5 Jessica Helen G. 2 years ago on Google
    Pricey (especially the wine list) but the food is good, the staff are professional and the ambiance and view are top notch.

  • 5/5 Esin H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great views, we have been there during the late night but Im sure it’s better to visit during sunset.. Cocktails are high quality and they also give away some chips and nuts to have along with the drinks (free of charge)

  • 2/5 Ben G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great views. Poor service. We were seated at a table and waited 25+ mins without so much as an acknowledgement. It didnt seem that busy either. Walked out. Got a picture at least...
