Twist Bistrot Florence

An original and vintage bistrot

Laura from Florence

I'm a grown-up girl, but I feel like I am 27. I work in a theater company in Florence, I live with my boyfriend, Andrea, who is a kind of nerd... I like my sofa in which I can watch my favorite shows, I like visiting temporary markets, going to the cinema, finding secret places in my city. Sometimes I don't remember where I live, so I'm surprised to ride along Palazzo Vecchio and Pont...
""Twist Bistrot" in Florence is one of those places where you feel at home, giving you the feeling that you are surrounded by friends..."

Twist Bistrot is the right place to stop if you are quite sad or tired. You'll find a friendly atmosphere any moment of the day, surrounded by vintage and colorful objects. It's like you have a drink inside a vintage market and most of the objects are on sale. If you found somebody to have a chat with, this is the right place. Otherwise, you can sit at a table and enjoy the music (almost exclusively from the '60s/'70s).

It is one of those places where you feel at home, attended by regular local customers that give you the feeling that you are surrounded by friends even the first time you go there. Furthermore, if you want a fancy night you can wear a vintage dress and attend one of their drag queen shows. Take note: it's better if you book a table in advance for one of these events!

It's a 5-minute walk from the Duomo.

My favorite moment: sitting at one of the tables outside the Bistrot drinking a cocktail and eating some chips and a tramezzino.

See you there!

Florence Spotter Laura

I'm a grown-up girl, but I feel like I am 27. I work in a theater company in Florence, I live with my boyfriend, Andrea, who is a kind of nerd... I like my sofa in which I can watch my favorite shows, I like visiting temporary markets, going to the cinema, finding secret places in my city. Sometimes I don't remember where I live, so I'm surprised to ride along Palazzo Vecchio and Ponte Vecchio and I suddenly feel astonished and happy by all this beauty. My boyfriend says that I have a problem with my short-term memory, but I usually forget listening to him! Why Floren...

Caffè Notte

A bar with a crowd

"Caffè Notte" in Florence is a laid-back corner bar. I recommend you get their wine, even if it means spending a few extra euros -- it's still reasonable!
