Mostodolce

A week into my Italy vaca, I just couldn’t handle much more wine. I’m a beer kid all the way, so discovering Mostodolce’s existence (via Unilocal) right down the street from my Florentine hotel was an exciting moment.
I only had one beer here due to the late hour: their house-​brewed Blackdoll. Compared to the other local brews I had tried during my trip, this was one of the major standouts. It was SO good. So smooth. So easy to drink, especially for a stout. I should’ve ordered a large! (You get the choice — large or small.)
Others in my group ordered a bag of mixed fried food, but I couldn’t decide on anything myself, so I tried one of their chicken nuggets. It was pretty good, but the burgers at other tables looked better.
I stopped myself from making a return visit while solo wandering the next day. Looking back, I wish I hadn’t! Mostodolce absolutely deserves a visit, if not two.

If you like craft beer and phenomenal food — this is the place for you. I found Mostodolce randomly walking down the streets of Florence. I walked in since it was the only beer dominated place I’ve seen in Italy. It was A-​mazing. The beers were great and the food was just as tasty. I went 3 times! I had the french fries with fried onions, burgers (highly recommend) and the ½ focaccia, ½ calzone that was recommended by a fellow reviewer. All were excellent, not to mention the food and drink prices. Plus there is a happy hour — dollar off beers.

NOTE: I did not have any food during my visit, so this review is strictly based on beer/​ambiance…
After two days in Florence, filled with plenty of sight-​seeing and good Tuscan food at dinner with plenty of Chianti, we had a cool and rainy day. In the mid-​afternoon, after a visit to Basilica di San Lorenzo, I walked a few blocks up to this bar for an early happy hour/​pre-​dinner pick-​me-​up.
I am a homebrewer, and have sampled (according to my Untappd app) over 250 different beers in over 100 different venues in over 40 U.S. states and/​or foreign countries. Before this leads me too far down the path of introspection, suffice it to say I know a little about beer, or at least what I like in beer.
The space is funky and welcoming, and the clients a mix of Italians and tourists. I sampled two of their beers in draft: Francesco (an American-​style Pale Ale) and Prova 3 (a brown ale). Both were tasty and true to style, and a bargain at € 4 each. I understand that their brews have won some awards at Italian beer festivals. Also, other patrons did have food during my visit and all seemed pleased with their meals.
A fine place for a little siesta during a less than pleasant Florentine afternoon.

We were walking in Florence and found this place by accident. We generally prefer beer to wine, so to happen upon a brewery in Tuscany was pretty cool. The beer was good, and the meat and cheese appetizer was excellent.
The service was a little slow and disinterested. I didn’t mind at all and had a great time here, but I deducted a star for the sake of an honest review. If we ever return to Florence, we will definitely go back.

A local suggested this place and we LOVED it!
The artesanal beers were smooth and rich with unique flavour.
Then… wow, they have a pizza/​calzone crossover. Focaccia dough stuffed with goat cheese and truffle cream then covered with fresh arugula, smoked duck meat, truffle oil and parmesan. Mind. Blown.
We shared that, and even with our delicious beers, it all cost only € 20!
Also, fantastic fun décor vibe with excellent music.
Win.

Second time I’ve been here. The place is nice and has an edge to it! It’s definitely nit the best pizza or pasta place in Florence but nice and good enough to hang out in. The beer is good, I was told!

Our yearly family vacation to Italy just got a lot better with the discovery of this place. Just a week in Florence and we stopped here three times. We only ate wings one time and beer ice cream, both were fantastic, but the reason we came back was for the beer.
Heavenly, heavenly chestnut honey beer. And lots of it. We made our way through all of the taps but this is the one beer that stood out, if I could strap a keg to my back and bring it back home I would have.
Gets pretty crowded and tight, but otherwise a very fun time and a legit brewpub in the heart of wine country.

My favorite place in all of Florence. I used to spend time here daily, after Italian course work, drinking Martellina and enjoying their great snacks. I used to love walking through the market to get here, just a block or so up the street. Can’t wait to return!

A friend and I heard great things about this place from other students studying abroad. The claim to fame: pizza and in-​house brewed beer. The atmosphere inside was really cool, and encouraged friendly table-​to-​table conversation (we ended up chatting to the people at the table next to us), though some may be bothered by the closeness of the tables. My pizza had pomodoro sauce, black olives, ham, artichokes, mozzarella, and hot dog, which I thought would be sausage but turned out to be hot dog. I ended up picking it off, but the rest of the pizza was amazing. The crust was super thin and crispy, and had a charred brick-​oven taste. The beer we each ordered was fantastic, and I would have stayed all night to try them all if I wasn’t so full. For dessert, we ordered the «biramisu,» which was kind of disappointing because there wasn’t much of a beer taste, not much espresso, and a whole lot of marscapone. It was still good, though, and this place was college student budget friendly!

Comme il y a déjà pas mal de commentaires en anglais et italien, je vais rédiger en français. Ce serait dommage que vous loupiez ça.
J’ai trouvé ce bar super sympa. Il y a tout un tas de petites lumières au-​dessus de notre tête c’est mignon. Cela fait guirlande de Noël mais ça me plait bien quand même.
Le staff est cool cool et conseille bien. La serveuse nous a fait gouter les fameux «occolino» (j’espère que je né me trompe pas dans l’orthographe). Qu’est-ce que c’est: de la pâte à pizza frîte. Ils servent ça soit avec une sauce tomate/​poivron épicée soit avec du fromage. Le panier coûte 3 € et pour 2 autant dire que ça vous remplit le ventre.
Mais bon lorsque l’on voit le cuisiner (intégré au bar) faire ses pizzas on a envie de continuer le festin (festin de farine en somme!). J’ai pris une 4 saisons, elle était bien garnie, ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas… La pâte bien cuite au four à pizza (toujours sous vos yeux). C’est bon je peux dire que j’ai mangé une bonne pizze (et oui chez eux c’est pizze et non pas pizza) en Italie.
Parlons boissons maintenant, ce qui est typique du Mostodolce c’est leur bière. Brune, blonde, ambrée, on me conseille selon mes goûts: amer, douce, avec une pointe de miel. J’ai goûté la Pépita qui était pas mal du tout. 3,5 € le demi, 5 € la pinte.
Happy hour de 18h à 19h30: 4 € la pinte.
L’ambiance est agréable, il y a quelques touristes et beaucoup d’italiens.
Pour info, CB à partir de 10 €.

We came across this place because it was near the Hotel… We entered and it was crowded, but something told us to wait!
Let me tell you that the Food its awesome… pizza, burguer, pasta, etc! The plase its chill and they have really good beers!!! the one that I tryied was Martellina!!!

Great beer and great pizza! Happy hour is always fun with great discounts on said pizza/​beer. You’re gonna have a great time.

Food was great. I can’t remember the name of the beer. It had an M but it was very very good. The service was not bad I’m American and speak some Italian. You should go and try different microbrews.

Are you standing in the sidewalk wondering if this place is worth it… Take the last 2 steps. You won’t regret it!!!
The pizza, pasta, and even the burgers are awesome. This incredible mixed plate entrée was my favorite thing of the night.
This is a casual spot. Nothing fancy. But great fun.

Located close to the train station which is very convenient if traveling to/​from there. This place was super packed the first night we went there, and it didn’t take long to figure out why. They have a few different beers on tap they brew themselves and the couple I tried were quite tasty, one had a slight sweet taste which I preferred. The pizza was good as well, nothing mind-​blowing, but pretty good. This place seemed to be popular with a lot of college students studying abroad which I found to add to the atmosphere, I like meeting and talking to easy-​going/​laid back people who can tell me about the local area, and I found that to be the case there. We liked it enough that we went back the next day, and we were only there for two days. I recommend this place and would go back in a heartbeat!

5 stars are for the beer — it is excellent. It tastes fresh, well made and well poured. We didn’t try the pizza, so I can’t comment on that. There were about 6 beers on tap, all fairly high alcohol content, but a good range of styles. The service was friendly and quick. I can’t wait to go back!

Located on via nazionale — the most annoying street to walk down since everyone is heading towards the station and has a million bags covering the small, tiny sidewalks. A little brewery restaurant, they are known for their awesome beer, pizza and burgers.
I have been here once before to try their beer. I like that they have a few different types though you have to ask what they actually have in stock. The last time we went, we each ordered a burger for a really great price for 6 euros (which includes fries). My burger was really tasty and came with truffle cream! awesome. They use great bread and i was really surprised how good it was.
We also each got a beer, all very good and the place itself is really cool. Small but plenty of seats and has a warm, comfortably brewery feel to it. Perfect place for lunch if you need to be near the station and want a good pit stop that isn’t overpriced!
