Super nice and cozy, very small, but great warm atmosphere, great on winter nights. Pizza is super good if you like a thick and salty base​. Situated in Borgo San Frediano close to Piazza Del Carmine.

Close the San Frediano Gate, is a modern and bio pizzeria, with just selected ingredients and pure and healthy and bla bla bla. Pizzas are definitely good and easy to digest. But if you looking for a big portion in a small price, maybe that's not the pizzeria you're looking for.

It is famous, it is good, it is a bit expensive, it is posh, it is local and it is touristic. But at the end everyone’s like it. What I’m talking about? Yes I’m talking about this place. You’ll notice, or maybe not, it doesn't matter the "Holy Drinker" it is a must.

Entertainment & Activities

It's a awesome movie theater in Florence City Center. Good thing for tourist (and for italians too) is that they do every week films in original language with italian subs. Have a look on their web site for their program: http://www.odeonfirenze.com/original-sound/
