The city's best

marble-topped bar crowning two oak ageing wine barrels chalks up an impressive list of
wines by the glass. To attain true bliss, indulge in
crostini

speck or
lardo,
or platter of boutique Tuscan cheeses (try the Rocco made by Fattoria

carpacci

worth it.

A first for gourmet

(Borgo Ognissanti 42r; 10am-2am)
This stylish wine bar tucked beneath a red-brick vaulted
ceiling is privy to one of Florence's most happening
aperitivo
scenes. From the pale aqua-
coloured Vespa parked up inside, to the music, occasional exhibition and summertime
pavement action, Sei Divino is a vintage that is eternally good.
Aperitivi
'hour' kicks in
from 5pm to 10pm.
