"Rasputin is an underground homage to speakeasy culture with the vintage couture to match. But it's a secret bar—Florence's first—not to be confused with a speakeasy; after all, Italy never had Prohibition. For months, the only way to get in was to have an in; but those lucky souls who make it inside the dimly lit space are in for classic cocktails made with thoughtful twists. There's no food and there aren't that many tables—thus not too much room for staff—but everyone is amicable and cheerful." - Coral Sisk
