Reviews
We tried the five-course tasting menu and it was delightful. The starters were unique, balanced, and creative. We came with our child and were able to enjoy our tasting menu while our 4-year-old had what turned out to be a surprisingly sophisticated pasta cooked al dente and absolutely delicious. The main course did not disappoint and the dessert sealed the evening as a perfect dinner.
Our server Alex was attentive and helpful. The cocktails were also a hit.
The cocktails were really good and did not dissapoint. No wonder they have top 20 in the world. Additionally, my wife and I had their tasting dinner menu which did not dissapoint. The reason why I gave it a 4 start and not 5 is because we were served pigeon. If we would have received a heads up, we would have preferred some sort of beef protein to compleemnt the entire tasting menu. All in all though, the tasting meny experience was enjoyable and best of it’s kind. I’m glad we were able to not only have their cocktails but also dine here.
If you’re looking for a place with exceptional atmosphere and a deep Florentine character, Locale Firenze is absolutely worth a visit.
The cocktails were good and thoughtfully crafted, though I wouldn’t place them in the “Top 20 in the world” category. They’re enjoyable, but the real highlight of Locale is the overall experience — the ambience, the storytelling of the space, and the unique architectural setting.

Located not far from the Duomo, Locale Firenze transports you into a palazzo from the 1200s, balancing medieval architecture with modern elegance. The half open-air concept, soaring ceilings, chandeliers, antique furniture, and plenty of greenery make it one of the most dramatic bar spaces in Florence. Music volume is spot on, the backbar is stunning, and seating is ample both at the counter and for groups.
Drinks: 8/10

Unfortunately, the menu is digital only—which is not ideal. That said, their digital design is at least creative, with ABV indicators and glassware previews. The selection is solid, featuring interesting ingredients and good balance in flavor. Glassware is above average, coasters aren’t used, garnishes are minimal, and presentation is kept basic.
Service: 9/10
Water served on arrival, plus complimentary snacks and even a welcome drink. The team is very friendly, professional, and attentive. Reservations aren’t needed for the bar, and prices are above average for Florence.
That said, Locale Firenze itself is excellent. The drinks are fabulous, the oysters were really good, and the bartenders were genuinely welcoming and professional. The interior design is also beautiful — stylish, comfortable, and very well done. It’s a place I would otherwise enjoy returning to.
We paid €380 for 2 adults and 2 children, and honestly, we were disappointed. The food wasn’t bad, but it was nowhere near worth that price.
The place is beautiful, with an elegant atmosphere clearly designed for a “jet-set” clientele, but the value for money is completely unreasonable.
What surprised us most is that no one seemed shocked to charge such an excessive price, and no one offered a children’s menu. We had to find it ourselves through the drink QR code, and luckily we did — otherwise, we would have paid even more.
Also, not every dish was successful: the pigeon and the lamb were quite ordinary and served without sides, and the dessert was average at best. The food was fine, but definitely not for this kind of price.
The next day, we dined at a Michelin-starred restaurant, Konnubio, paying only €140 for 4 people — and that was a true gastronomic experience, refined and delicious, far beyond our expectations.
Here, despite the high bill, we left still feeling hungry, and to top it off, by the end of the evening the music was turned up so loud that we couldn’t even talk to each other.
The purpose of this review is to warn other guests and encourage the restaurant team to reflect, because at these prices, you expect much more quality and care.
Avoid these kinds of “tourist traps” — I don’t support such practices, and that’s exactly why I’m writing this review.
the restaurant’s bar was named one of the World’s 50 Best Bars for 2022-2024.
