Where to have an aperitivo in Florence
🍸 aperitivo
Aperitivo in Florence runs roughly from six to nine. It ranges from a three euro glass of wine drunk standing in the street to a rooftop with a view of the Duomo, and the good versions are rarely the ones with a buffet.
Ordered from the smallest and cheapest to the ones with a view and a bill to match.
