Golden View Open Bar

River Dining

Via de' Bardi 58r
Florence 50125
Italy
+39 055 214 502
http://www.goldenviewopenbar.com

Florence is popular especially with American students. However, there is plenty for other business or leisure travellers. Golden View Open Bar is the perfect place to dine for light Mediterranean or traditional Florentine cuisine, such as ribollita, the classic Tuscan vegetable soup, or the infamous Florentine steak. Accompanied with live jazz music, an impressive wine selection, and waiters that always encourage "just one more bottle" keep the restaurant lively. And then there's the elegance that comes with sipping your wine with the Arno River just right out the window.

Osteria del Milione

Dining in the Tuscan Countryside Via di Giogoli 16
Florence 50124
Italy
+39 055 204 7922
http://www.fattoriailmilione.it/ The Osteria del Milione offers visitors to Florence the perfect opportunity to experience the countryside and dine outside the historic center. The menu features local and homemade ingredients, including their own meats, making for an excellent bistecca alla fiorentina (T-Bone steak typically served very rare and with a lemon wedge) and other Florentine specialties like pappa al pomodoro and ribollita. Expect homemade meals, local roasted game, and a lovely outdoor dining experience when the weather allows it. Buon appetito!

Ristorante Lungarno

Beautiful views of the Ponte Vecchio Borgo San Jacopo, 14
Florence 50125
Italy
+39 55 2 7261 This exclusive restaurant inside the Hotel Lungarno offers good seafood and an incomparable view of the Ponte Vecchio. A very original atmosphere, echoing the design of a yacht club, with its staved wooden floors, white walls and tablecloths, refined silverware and panoramic windows looking out onto the banks of the river Arno. The food is based mainly on seafood. Among the starters are seafood soup, pasta with lobster sauce and la passatina di ceci alle code di scampi (chickpea soup with scampi). Then there is the sea-bass, turbot, mussels, fresh tuna pasta and steamed lobster. The wine list offers a good selection of national white wines.

Terrazza Brunelleschi

Enchanting atmosphere Piazza Unità Italiana, 6
Florence 50123
Italy
+39 55 2 3580 On the roof garden of the Grand Hotel Baglioni we find this restaurant and piano bar which in summer becomes a real open air nightclub with its musical appointments. An enchanting atmosphere and from the small terraces adorned with large flowerpots, there are panoramic views of the whole city. A refined menu with specialties from Italy and abroad.
