Volume
On Piazza Santo Spirito, among the many bars facing the square, Volume is the best for aperitivo. Your drink comes with a tray of crostini and snacks included. Authentic Florentine atmosphere, outdoors.
Aperitif hour04 / 07
From 6 to 8 p.m., Florence settles outdoors and raises a glass. Piazzas, gardens, and panoramic terraces: pick your sunset.
Aperitivo in the piazza
Serre Torrigiani
A unique spot: green and peaceful yet right in the heart of the city. Set inside the private Torrigiani Gardens, with a beautiful botanical greenhouse and a charming cocktail bar. Highly recommended.
Rifrullo
In the San Niccolo neighborhood, right along the Arno. Perfect if you are coming back from Piazzale Michelangelo: stop here for a Spritz or a beer. Relaxed atmosphere, not overly touristy.
Bulli & Balene
A unique aperitivo in a wonderfully characteristic piazza, served with a wide selection of crostini in many different flavours. Highly recommended.
