Le Murate

Very fancy place. Not good for family’s but great for couples if you want to be romantic. At first when I looked at the menu I thought I wouldn’t like anything. The menu is seasonal and makes you go out of your comfort zone. It was a great dining experience. I’m only giving it 4 stars because they were out of several thins on the menu and it was 8pm on a Saturday night.

Florence’s most reassuring place in summer.
You know here you’ll find some finger food, drinks and events always on going.
The aperitivo is happy hour time, until 10 pm
It offers veggies, crudité, pasta, rice and other nice dishes.
Everything for under 10 €
They also rent rooms for birthdays inside, since they have a whole square of tables outside for other customers.
Events are mostly concerts of any kind, but also book lunches, comic shows.
The café is open morning ’till late, so you can come for breakfast, to read in peace, for a quick lunch, and you’ll always find it open.
The structure used to be a jail, and was renewed as a series of small apartments and two squares where to eat and hang around and definitely have fun with friends!

Waaaa même si ce lieu peu connu des touristes est difficile à trouver cette longue recherché dans les ruelles de Florence en valait très largement la peine ! Dans cette cour qui faisait office autrefois de prison se cache un caffe restaurant ambiancé incroyable ! Des concerts sont régulièrement organisés dans la cour et on peut savourer en terrasse en profitant des concerts le meilleur aperitivo de Florence ! Tout d’abord ce sont des cocktails réalisés par de vrais barman pro et de vrais bons plats cuisinés sont proposés à volonté le tout pour 8 € !!! On retrouve un large choix de pâtes cuisinés, de tapenade, de charcuterie, de petits sandwich, de légumes cuisinés et marinés etc…: un buffet vraiment bien garni et absolument délicieux. Contre toute attente cette place au cadre très agréable avec ses petites lumières et ses oliviers laisse place à une ambiance de folie ou tout le monde se retrouve à danser dans la cour en toute simplicité ! Un vraie expérience italienne de la dolce vita !

I should have written this in Sept. 2014 when I was there but a pal asked me for a couple places to go for food so this is my one contribution for Firenza.
This location is great for many reasons. They are open when most of the other restaurants are on siesta. They generally have free entertainment on the stage at night. They have a happy hour with a complementary tapas type of snacks to accompany your drink. Did I mention the cool courtyard atmosphere? So this place attracts the urban student or young professional. The food is very adequate and I would rate that 3.5 but the other amenities bring it to 4 for me. I ate here at least 10 times in the three weeks I was in Firenza. I hope this review helps.

Excellent place to escape tourists in Florence and hang with the locals al fresco. Good Food, good drinks, and great people watching!
