The 10 Best New Restaurants in Florence, Italy | Eater

"Florence has had a tough time merging Italian cocktails with well-made snacks, but Manifattura has filled this void. Tucked inside the tiny Piazza San Pancrazio, Manifattura is bringing “Made in Italy” back with its 1950s decor; a bar shelf brimming with exclusively Italian beverages, like the nearly forgotten citron soda Tassoni; and timeless Italian music playing in the background. No Tiki- or Prohibition-style drinks to be found on this menu (Italy never had a prohibition). Instead, Manifattura is a nostalgic option for locals and where visitors can discover the legacy of Italian cocktails with small plates to accompany them. Think classic Italian snacks like triangle tramezzini finger sandwiches, fried chickpea fritters, and roasted chestnuts, plus heartier options like a creamy baccala whip on a Parmesan waffle and spelt flatbread piadina." - Coral Sisk
