A very popular and well-attended venue. Known for its aperitifs and pizzas. Unfortunately, I'm now having to amend my review because, while the prices were previously reasonable and a distinction was made between those enjoying a glass of wine and those enjoying an aperitif dinner, now you pay €8 for a glass of wine, regardless of whether you eat or not. The €8 per glass price means each bottle of wine is sold for €48 (6 glasses per bottle). I drank a Pinot Noir from Friuli that wasn't worth more than €10 a bottle. An honest owner would have sold that wine by the glass for €5. I'll leave it to the reader to decide.
Finally, the other day I also tried the aperitif buffet, and I have to say it was absolutely not up to par: the pasta was overcooked, bland, and tasteless, like hospital food.
Last night we were in Empoli and decided to stop at this bar for an aperitivo with some friends. The place is located just steps from the Gramsci parking lot and the Christmas markets. It has on-street parking and parking in nearby streets and adjacent areas. We didn't choose the apericena option, which included a variety of buffet dishes, including pasta dishes. Four Spritzes with table service cost €40 (excluding appetizers and snacks). The staff was courteous, but not very attentive to the customer; perhaps the large number of customers caused confusion. In addition to the indoor seating, there were also tables outside on the heated terrace.
