Santarosa Bistrot

Oltrarno


The living is easy at this hipster garden-bistro-bar, snug against a chunk of ancient city wall in the flowery Santarosa gardens. Comfy cushioned sofas built from recycled wooden crates sit al fresco beneath trees; food is superb (meals €30); and mixologists behind the bar complement an excellent wine list curated by Enoteca Pitti Gola e Cantina with serious craft cocktails.

Spaghetti jazz soirées and other music events set the bar buzzing after dark. In warmer weather, grab a picnic hamper for two and enjoy an intimate lunch amid greenery.
