You\u2019ll notice tables outside in nearly every piazza, but it\u2019s hard to know which outdoor dining restaurants are worth a stop. Read on for seven of our favorite spots for outdoor dining in Florence, as well as what you should order when you visit. Ready, set, action!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Expert\u2019s Tip:<\/span><\/b> Don\u2019t be surprised to see a cover charge or <\/span>coperto <\/span><\/i>of around \u20ac1\u20133 per person on your bill. This is customary when you receive table service, especially at an outdoor dining restaurant.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fattoria Rossi<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fattoria Rossi<\/span><\/a> is the very definition of farm-to-table dining right in the heart of Florence. While they have a number of outdoor tables in their covered seating area, you\u2019ll want to pop your head inside to be transported by the Tuscan farmhouse vibes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The family-run Fattoria Rossi began on a farm over 150 years ago. To this day the farm still produces high-quality products such as <\/span>parmigiano reggiano<\/span><\/i> cheese and salami that you can try for yourself at the restaurant.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Santarosa Bistrot<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll forget you\u2019re in Florence when you visit this <\/span>Oltrarno<\/span><\/a> oasis. <\/span>Santarosa Bistrot<\/span><\/a> is open continuously for all three meals so you can park yourself and <\/span>your kids<\/span><\/a> at any one of their many outdoor tables for a few hours.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The menu features Tuscan classics along with a few wild cards like Caesar salad or fish poke. Their well-equipped bar staff can mix up any cocktail you like or even make a pour-over coffee.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

La Loggia del Piazzale Michelangelo<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

A restaurant with a view, <\/span>La Loggia del Piazzale Michelangelo<\/span><\/a> is worth the climb up the hills surrounding the city.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The panoramic view of the city center makes for a highly scenic backdrop for a <\/span>romantic dinner in Florence.<\/span><\/a> Enjoy typical Florentine dishes like <\/span>crostini neri<\/span><\/i><\/a> or cheese ravioli with butter and sage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Auditore<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sharing a name with the main character of the Assassin\u2019s Creed video games, Auditore (<\/span>Piazza del Grano, 13R<\/span><\/i>) serves traditional Tuscan dishes just a few steps behind the Uffizi Gallery.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite being so near a tourist hotspot, the outdoor seating area of Auditore is a lively corner without being overly crowded or noisy. Stop by for lunch or an <\/span>aperitivo<\/span><\/a> cocktail, and you might just stay for a dinner of <\/span>Florentine steak<\/span><\/a>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fedora<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

With a lush and spacious outdoor courtyard, the <\/span>Fedora School Pastry Shop<\/span><\/a> is a great spot to enjoy a quiet meal just a 2-minute walk from the Duomo.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rotating lunch and dinner menu is planned and prepared by the talented chefs-in-training of the APICIUS International Hospitality School. If you\u2019re lucky, there might be a dish with fresh orange marmalade made from oranges grown right in the courtyard.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

B-Roof<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Feel on top of the world in every sense at <\/span>B-Roof<\/span><\/a>, the fine dining restaurant atop the historic Hotel Baglioni.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A quick walk from the Santa Maria Novella train station, B-Roof serves elevated Tuscan cuisine. The bar is staffed with knowledgeable and friendly bartenders, making it a great spot for a picture perfect cocktail hour.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
