Caffe Rivoire In Firenze

We were so happily surprised by this restaurant! So I was really shocked by the bad reviews/ratings, and I'm glad I didn't see them before coming. We came because of the smell of steak and that it was conveniently located to the Uffizzi Museum. Everything was PERFECT for us. We ordered cappuccinos, the steak alla florentine, and bread service along with an incredible view. On top of it all, our incredible host and server Davidé was just wonderful, kind, and attentive throughout the whole service. He truly gave us just a wonderful experience and made our trip to Florence perfect. We look forward to coming back in the future!

Food was great. Atmosphere was one of a kind.

Founded over 100 years ago this iconic culinary gem is a must visit. In fact we visited it multiple times during our stay both for dinner, Negroni, and a quick cappuccino and pastry stop. What’s astounding about many of these historical food establishments in Florence is that they keep true to their character and charm and do not turn into tourist traps. The food is spectacular. I loved little sandwiches that you can order with your coffee. Their cantucci are amazing. I brought a bag to share with a friend and ended up eating it all by myself. They also sell this chocolate hazelnut round torta packaged in a lovely blue box that they quickly sell out off. The lady told me it’s their best seller. I bought a few for gifts and my friends confessed that it was absolutely Devine. They perfected an art of making a Negroni. Order one and watch the bartender perform his alchemy right in front of your eyes.

Excellent service, as well as desserts and drinks

Very good location, nice place and very good treatment. Excellent coffees and correct desserts

Delicious hot chocolate at the counter - thick, creamy, quality

Very good coffee and its combinations. Very delicious rolls. Quiet and comfortable place. Good service.

Beautiful experience and welcoming team

Aquí, a solo un paso del Palazzo Vecchio, se encuentra uno de los mejores chocolates de Florencia (¡y un original de 1872!) que hacen mucho más que un café decente junto con... por supuesto. ¡chocolate caliente! Contrariamente a lo que ocurre en los lugares turísticos más visiblemente posicionados, Florencia parece haber logrado contrarrestar la tendencia... y mientras que otros lugares de la ciudad también reclaman la excelencia con razón... . aquí la decoración es increíblemente impresionante y más imaginativa. No menos importante es el extraño cuello y hombros de la cabeza de una jirafa de peluche que vigila serenamente el funcionamiento deslumbrante de su legendaria máquina de café. Mi excelente macchiato por solo 1€. 50 (de pie, una vieja jirafa bastante pobre) fue la prueba de lo bueno que es venir aquí. También tienen un salón encantadoramente decorado junto con servicio de mesa, o puede sentarse fuera en las sillas de cuero rosa improbablemente tapizadas y ver el mundo pasar por un precio similarmente más alto... pero no menos placer. Muy recomendable.

How this isn't a five star restaurant. We had superb service, unbelievable atmosphere and the food was unforgettable. Well done Rivoire, well done.
