Le Volpi e l'Uva
WINE BAR
This intimate address with 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
crostoni
(€6.50) topped with honeyed speck or
lardo
(wafer-thin slices of pig fat marinated in olive
oil and herbs), or tuck into a platter of boutique Tuscan cheeses.

Open Bar
A prime location near Ponte Vecchio ensures that it's touristy, but this bar is worth a pit
stop nonetheless - preferably at
aperitivo
(pre-dinner drinks accompanied by cocktail
snacks) hour when chic Florentines sip cocktails, slurp oysters and enjoy the 'golden
view' of the Arno swirling below their feet.
