What a place!!! In the heart of the noisy center of Florence there is this unbelievable silent little square where you can eat in this bio-food point. Everything is fresh and made or cooked in front of you. All the furniture are for sell and they are strictly old and vintage! With a free wifi it’s a perfect place to study or work in peace despite you are next to Ponte Vecchio!!! I really suggest to insert in your bookmarks this place! Go for it fellas!

What a wonderful place! There is fun music and nice service. You can sit outside or in comfy lounge chairs and eat the simple snacks and tasty smoothies. Plus, it was right behind my hotel so I can go whenever I wanted! Also, there are really cool non food things like grow your own post cards, too.

This place is great. We had a delicious sandwich and smoothie. We just found it unexpectedly while we were walking by. It also looks good for cocktails.

Amble’s motto is, quite simply, ‘good food and old furniture.’ I can vouch for that. — I really, really dug Amble’s retro shabby chic décor. It was such a nice surprise to see the vintage furniture dotted around outside and it set the tone perfectly. We were looking for Amble, and catching sight of it, we just knew we’d found it. Amble feels like a secret as it’s really quite hidden away. It’s so worth seeking out and very much feels like a haunt that’s a favourite with locals. Our waiter was super duper charming, welcoming us warmly and giving us a great tip on what to order. — We took his advice of ordering the sandwich of the day along with the dish of the day to share and we weren’t disappointed. Everything was five-star levels of tasty and, it was refreshing to try somewhere in Italy that wasn’t serving up traditional Italian food and offering something a little different. The sandwich of the day was an interesting ham crustless concoction and the dish of the day was a comforting and meaty dish with delicious veggies and fried potato. All delicious and generous in portion size. But, guys, get THIS. See those crusts that had been ruthlessly chopped from the bread for the sandwich? They’d been grilled and seasoned and served up as some kind of glorious crust fries. This really made us smile, and was a nice little addition which made Amble all the more sweet. They were delightfully crispy and seasoned to perfection. — How ingenious to make fries of crusts! The Italian sunshine called for an Amble Spritz; the café’s signature cocktail. Mmm, mmm, mmm. — I do recommend if you’ve an afternoon apéritif on your mind. Amble made for such a memorable off-the-beaten track spot for lunch with delicious food and warm, charming service. If I were a Florentine, I think I’d find myself a regular!

Awesome place! You have to carefully look for it as its hidden within a building complex. Old hipster furniture and freshly made food. We can recommend the homemade lemonade, very refreshing !

Fantastic food — I was desperate for something light(I’ve had enough past and dairy to last me a LONG time!) super fresh salmon, oven roasted turkey breast, etc — create your own salads and sandwiches. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend!(It’s a tad hidden, but worth the search, I promise!)

Amble is somewhere I go pretty often, a beautiful little hipster bar in an inner courtyard a stone’s throw to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. Originally known as the place that serves ‘tramezzini’ or little sandwiches or finger food, along with brunch items, fresh fruit juices, cocktails and coffee. The strong point is that the place is very very cute, you feel like you are nestled into the scenery and literally everything in the café is for sale, from the chairs, the tables to the cigarette stands. It’s like one big swap-meet but with really good drinks. They get extra points from me because they make an awesome moscow mule(generous too) and a carrot spritz which almost makes drinking ‘healthy.’ HIghly recommenc this joint for pre-dinner drinks in the center of Florence.

After an awesome bikewalk tour in Florence we ended up here. The location and ambiance are great. It’s tucked away in an alley and very chill. A great place to have a spritz outdoors.

Super cute place if you just wanna chill, catch up with a friend, or have a small bite. I heard their spritz aperol was their specialty so a friend and I came here to check out this place. Really relaxing vibe with old furniture. If you only order drinks, they give you a small platter of snacks to munch on, it being some fruit and crackers with dip. So cute! I also heard their sandwiches are good here. No sit in fee as well, but they do accept tips. Also each spritz aperol is 4 euro and is very good.

The food is pretty tasty, the atmosphere is cool, but the customer service is fantastic! This place was recommended to me, and I had no idea what was going on. The gentleman helped me thru the menu and gave me a sample of a cheese that I was unfamiliar with. It was a great stop before heading back to play tourist.

I’d discovered Amblè a few months ago and just before Christmas I actually managed to try it out with a friend, which ended up in us falling in love with the place, the staff and the food. First of all, the location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Florence and a few meters from Ponte Vecchio; as everyone before me has written, the furniture is all for sale –including the items in the toilet!- and the day I’ll decorate my own place, I’ll definitely get something from here. This café has a vintage-hipster-happy vibe and you can either sit inside on the comfy armchairs or outside on nice-looking old chairs; If it’s not raining I’ll always sit outside, I can smoke and enjoy the quiet, drinking a delicious cappuccino served in a vintage cup and a slice of whatever they’re offering that day. The sandwiches are also good, not very big though, and I still have to try their drinks, but I saw something that looked like a Hugo(which I’ve only been able to find in Vienna so far) and I can’t wait to try them! Definitely one of my favourite spots!

I am a BIG fan of this bistro /coffee bar! I started coming here last summer where I would sit outdoors in one of their lawn chairs. Lunch was really great and not too expensive. I had a salad with chickpeas and mushrooms, everything was so delicious. This is a great place for vegetarians/vegans as they will fit right in here and find lots of yummy lunch options. Best of all is their furniture /dining sets … the food and drink is all served in vintage pieces and it’s all for sale. So if you are eating on a nice plate or using a cool fork that you really like, you can buy it! Actually I bought a spoon from them, the one they served my cappuccino with … a super cute vintage spoon with the danish flag on it. Often times I come in the morning or evening for a coffee or tea and sit indoors while using their FREE wifi. Although there is little natural light in the indoor seating area you are not in the dark as there are a bunch of vintage lamps and letter lights ;) and I must try one of their brownies soon, the smell is intoxicating … in a good way ! Love seeing new places like this in FI … Makes me very happy.
