Caffe Rivoire In Firenze

Sit here in Piazza della Signoria, top

I have known him since 1967. Of course then with many changes. Strategic position, in front of Palazzo Vecchio, on the side the Loggia de' Lanzi, the Biancone in front, the ...Cellini, the Rape of the Sabine Women: in short, the secular monumental heart of the city (the religious one is around the Duomo, a little further on). Panoramic covered terrace, looking towards Palazzo Vecchio, perhaps trying to ignore the 'famous' cranes of the Uffizi beyond the Loggia de' Lanzi, now sedentary for 20 years, cutting the sky and panorama, but which at least at night are almost invisible. Very popular, good pastry shop, equally good coffee, comfortable tea room, sheltered terrace, prompt service. Compliant prices (well readable); coffee (at the counter) macchiato 1.50, 'yeast' (brioche, of '...generous size') more than appreciable, 1.50, and a glass of water offered.

Beautiful bar, very elegant and clean, friendly staff

It is a historic, beautiful and well-kept place located in one of the most beautiful squares in the world. Both the coffee and chocolate in the cup are excellent, as is the pastry. The staff is always very kind and professional. The prices are adequate: the location is truly unique.

Great atmosphere and excellent food!

Fancy coffee shop with great views. It’s a bit touristy and on the pricier side but a good rest stop nonetheless.

Stunning location and quality products Expensive but worth the price

Very nice setting but very average service. Be careful of billing if you sit there for breakfast.

I bake professionally and rarely find chocolate cake that I really like, but this one was it! Duffy, airy, and just decadent! On the pricey side but you get a nice big slice so I’d say overall worth it and great decor. The waiters are also great! I will say that one of the waitresses behind the cookie counter is a bit severe but outside of that great experience.

Just got an espresso. The place is very very beautiful with that renaissance vibe. The espresso was perfect. I only remember once in Milan having one at that level.
