View on Art Rooftop Cocktail Bar

Stopped by on our last day in Florence while doing our made up rooftop bar crawl. We had the whole thing to ourselves likely due to it being a rainy day. The views were still worth going for. We had some drinks and some chips. My son even played the piano there for us. Although it does need a good tuning. 🙂 Cathedral views are really good.

Only went up for drinks- to be honest I don’t even recall if they had food. Drinks were great but how could they not be with the view which is unbelievable! We were lucky and stopped there on a weekday afternoon and got a table right away, but think we were lucky. Expect to wait if you really want to go here.

We went here for my friend’s birthday and we brought a cake with us (asked before if this was possible and they said yes for a fee of 3 euros - which is only fair). The staff was so nice and patient regarding pictures and everything :) They even brought us champagne and bday candles on the house.. very cute (aperol and bruschetta are good) Thank you!!

We made a reservation looong time before the date, to enjoy drinks with this amazing view (it was my father birthday, so we wanted to surprise him with something special). We arrived and they gave us the table… on the side of the roof, without the view on the cathedral, which was the whole point of why we made the reservation. The staff was unhelpful. The drinks are expensive and student party level. I have a ridddle for you - what is the cocktail on the picture (I got it in that form)? I would never guess myself. It’s a 14 euro pornstar martini 😆

Do not enter this bar. We decided not to stay and procure any drinks or food after a short wait, as we had been seated in the direct sun without any shade. We used the restroom and were stopped on exit. As my partner took this one and only photo, we forced to buy a drink as we had taken this photo it was ‘company policy’.

The best view of the Duomo! Loved it so much we visited twice. Our first visit was on a Thursday just past 4pm and there were plenty of available seats on their terrace. The 2 person tables are closer to the view and were in the sun, while the 4 person tables are just behind the 2 person tables against the wall and were in the shade. We ordered the aperol spritz, violet spritz, and a glass of Merlot. Both spritzes were delicious! They also provided a small bowl of chips, which also tasted really good! Service is slow but we were there to enjoy the Duomo view so were in no rush. Our 2nd visit was on a Friday around 4:30pm. At that point on the terrace, all 2 person tables were taken and only 4 person tables were available. On both days, all good seats were taken by 5pm and you would have to luck out with a group leaving to claim a good seat. So if you want a guaranteed 2 person table by the edge of the terrace I'd recommend arriving before 4pm.

Food is nice big potions, Caramali is very good!!!! View is great!! But bewear about pigeons...

I enjoyed the absolutely incredible view of the Duomo, while having the worst cocktail of my entire life. Seriously, avoid the cocktail with Midori in if you go here - it tasted like a child’s fizzy drink. Other than that, good place, if only for the view!
