RASPUTIN
Back to the 1930s: period furnishings and bar staff mixing Prohibition-era cocktails. A secret Speakeasy, where you’ll find a great attention to details to create a step back in time with 1930’s music, light retro furniture and lots of candle. The drinks here are excellent, made with passion and..a bit of mistery.

SE-STO ARNO
The glass-plated sixth-floor SE·STO on Arno, like a trasparent jewellery box, affords breath-taking views as far as the horizon on Florence, its roofs, churches, bell towers, Ponte Vecchio and the picturesque Tuscan hills as a precious frame.
The outside of the restaurant is equipped with two large terraces one dedicated to the restaurant and one to the bar. This cocktail bar provides a unique 360-degree over Florence, embracing the whole city, a cradle of the Renaissance.
