Coquinarius
WINE BAR
This stylish
enoteca
has old stone vaults, scrubbed wooden tables and a modern air. The
wine list features Tuscan greats and unknowns, and a substantial
crostini
(toasts with vari-
ous toppings) and carpacci (cold sliced meats) menu ensures you don't leave hungry. Or
stay for dinner - it's worth it.

La Terrazza
This rooftop bar with wooden decking terrace accessible from the 5th floor of the
Ferragamo-owned Hotel Continentale is as chic as one would expect of a fashion-house
hotel. Its
aperitivo
buffet is a modest affair, but who cares when that drop-dead-gorgeous
panorama of one of Europe's most beautiful cities is on offer? Dress the part or feel out of
place.

LOUNGE BAR
Sleek and sometimes snooty, this lounge bar with a candle flickering on every table is
known for its glam interior, Florentine Lotharios, and lavish, fruit-garnished cocktails -
€10 including buffet during the bewitching
aperitivo
'hour' (6.30pm to 10pm). Ibiza-style
lounge tracks dominate the turntable.
