Caffe Gilli
About
Established by a Swiss family, when Florence was still under the Medici Family, Gilli is the citys oldest cafe opened in 1733 as Bottega dei Pani & dei Dolci near the Duomo. It moved to Piazza della Repubblica in the early 90s, where its still located today, is the citys only example of an Art Nouveaux style cafe. Over time, the business evolved according to the citys transformations. In the mid-1800s it relocated from Via degli Speziali to its current location, on the same square as other historic venues, such as Caffe Paszkowski. It soon became a favorite of writers, artists, and actors from all over the world, and today is still the place where famous designers meet when in town to attend the Pitti Uomo fashion shows.Details

Love the coffee!! service was really nice esp at 7am in the morning where there’s no crowd yet.I have to say its a lil pricy but the coffee was way more worth it!
The service was abismal. The waiters pointed us to a table and then ignored us. We tried repeatedly to catch their attention, but no luck. The place was not full. After 20 minutes we decided to leave.
The customer service was disrespectful to us by neglecting our order and complaining our claim. We got drinks way after the meal and did not get any toppings for breads. But the taste of food was adequate.
In my humble personal opinion you haven’t experienced the sweet heart of Florence if you don’t try Gilli’s sweet delights. One of the oldest and more respected in Europe, is a must for every coffee and chocolate lover.
Great place to relax with a view of the Piazza. The Hot Chocolate is very rich, thick and creamy. Late evening time is nice because it is not busy.
Yes a great location to sit and watch the thousands of tourists wander past. Service was a bit forced. The desserts were very disappointing and rather dry/stale. Why all the fuss??????
