Cartabianca Cafe In Firenze

Excellent croissants, very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the parking is a drawback.

I'm glad it's near the airport.

Last night, December 30, about 10 of us came in for an aperitivo. It was only 6:10 PM, and we immediately noticed the annoyed reaction of the guy at the counter. I should point out that we were the only customers. After we independently pushed the tables together and took our seats, after about 10 minutes of waiting, the employee began by saying, "We don't do table service." So we acted accordingly: we ordered two bottles of wine and some appetizers, including chips, peanuts, and schiacciatine. After we brought the bottles and glasses to the table independently, the appetizers he was still preparing remained at the counter, without even any indication that we could collect them. Frankly, this isn't the first time I've used this bar; at breakfast and lunch, the staff is much more accommodating. We would have understood this behavior if the place had been crowded, as it usually is during peak hours.
