LUNCH review This business is quite always opened and I’ve always exploited their aperitivo offer, while today we decided to grab lunch. The waitress was quite accommodating when we asked to move to people so we could use the tables outside, being 7. Then on the menu there were only«primi»(pasta) showing as menu of the day, the rest was hamburger, big salads or carpaccio. Looking for something with no meat, I went for the swordfish carpaccio, but I was told after a while that there wasn’t any left. So I took the salmon salad that I must say was pretty copious and tasty. Too bad that the waitress got the order wrong, it took more than 10 min to get a glass of wine and the glasses for water where all dirty. We asked for bread and they forgot it. In general service wasn’t that good and the salad was appreciable but nothing really special.

Really interesting cocktails and a fantastic young DJ on weekends… prolly the best I’ve heard in recent memory anywhere!

I initially really liked this place. Expensive drinks but chill. Until I came here at 1:30 on a Thursday, admittedly early but with a long morning class needing a bit of a chill when the really mean bartender with the nose ring kept insulting and laughing at me in Italian. Like I’m too stupid to understand her. Congrats. Your workers are horrible people. This is not a cool or friendly place Don’t even bother coming here.

On our way to meet up with friends from the States, we stumbled upon Moyo for a couple of drinks and Hookah. The waitress was quite nice when we bombarded her with questions about splitting bills to getting our drinks. The place was very crowded on a Friday night but surprisingly teeters out around 12 – 1. The negroni we ordered was strong and I wasn’t sure how it was suppose to taste. To me it was a blend of vermouth and bitter rubbing alcohol. The hookah was a good smoke. I enjoyed it.

Was a little pricey but good quality and service. Not a lot of options for hookah bars late night in Florence as it is. The place was pretty busy and had a good crowd as well as music.

The hookah at this very popular bar, was wonderful out on the patio — and the service was great! There are not a lot of hookah bars in Florence but the atmosphere here was fun & the shisha was surprisingly smooth. It’s worth it to walk around to find your way here for the nightlife in Florence. Very chill vibe.

Great place for cocktails and Shisha. Nice music and vibe too and it’s close to some of the nightlife scene in florence. Definitely worth a pit stop or more. Haven’t tried the food but they also do Appertivo from 4 — 8 which allows access to small bites during the Italian happy hour if you buy a drink

Cute little coffee bar and café. They play american motown and soul which is always a plus for me! Nice and chill décor with leather seating. Good cappuccino and ok food. 4 stars for atmosphere. 3.5 for food which was average.

First time having aperitivos in Florence! One drink and buffet for 7 euros wasn’t too bad but the food was honestly very bland. Food: The pasta had no flavor, pizza tasted like it was from the box and the rice(?) didn’t have really any seasoning. Wings weren’t bad for Italy but overall I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this place. Drinks: I had the long island ice tea and it was ok but my friend had the Italian ice tea which tasted much better; tangy and sweet! Apparently a popular drink there is called sweety(?) but I don’t recommend at all; very artificial tasting. Atmosphere: Kindof like a club. Very dim lighting, loud music but was a fun and young vibe! There are lots of aperitivos around Florence(often in the more residential areas too!) so I feel like there would probably be better ones around town.

I came to this bar/hookah lounge one night with my brother and cousin for some hookah because Florence doesn’t have many. Unfortunately, the hooka barely had tobacco in it which is a scam because after one half round of coals there is almost no smoke. They will also only give you 2 rounds of coals before asking you to get another hookah. Note that the second round is useless without tobacco… The lady who serves majority of the time is very kind, but obviously doesn’t know how to set up a hookah! The drinks are a little overpriced but expected!

This is my first not so enthusiastic review in Florence but I really did not like this place. So for the sake of honesty, here is my 2-star review. I hated the inside which looks like a place you want to escape fast and where you only happen to be by(lack of) chance. But beyond this esthetic disagreement that is not so important, the aperitivo food was what made me mad because I did not consider it real food: in my opinion it was more of some random leftovers that happened to be in someone’s fridge and were put on a table to feed people, by necessity. But real good food, food you have give somes thoughts to and actually prepared for a purpose and for taste: no. In brief, if you are looking for a nice aperitivo, this is not the right place I think.

We came here early one evening for drinks and aperitivo. You buy a cocktail and you can much on snacks! It filled us up pretty well — the food is good and so were the drinks. Cool atmosphere.

recomended by a local friend. very nice place for pregame at nights. half-full of young ppl. cozy environment cozy music. and if the music in the hall is too loud, you can choose to sit inside in quiter booths. I had one gin & tonic, one rum & coke, both were good. My friend had a mojito, which was pretty unique taste with very strong touch of mint. After the drinks I asked a bar tender for help to advise some dancing clubs to me, which turned out to be really good and fun places.

You know what’s really hard to find in Florence? A freaking BAR. Just a regular bar that’s open late, that serves drinks. They have cafes, wine bar/enotecas(all closing pretty early), and clubs(I assume, somewhere, we didn’t see any). But where do people go to get a drink at midnight? There were some nights we wandered for blocks and blocks without seeing a bar. Restaurants that serve alcohol, yes. Bars, no. Enter: Moyo. We saw it earlier in the day and mentally bookmarked it for later since we knew how hard to come by bars were! We came in late, oh wait just kidding this is Florence… early. Like 1145. They have free wifi(yay!) and a trendy-ish, cocktail lounge vibe. It’s literally the only place like this we saw the whole trip. They had a big fun cocktail list. Fun crowd of younger people. If you’re seeking that kind of place in Florence, circle this place on your map because you won’t find many others like it.

One of my fav places in Florence! During the day the food and atmosphere, design, service even, are amazing and at night the party is super cool and chic! I can’t get enough of going there every time I’m in town.

Moyo, with its free wifi, is like a magnet for American expat students living in Florence. What keeps them there is the generous and varied aperitivo — and I understand why. The kitchen keeps churning out bowls of steaming hot food and large pasta salads. Very tasty and affordable. I would have given it an extra star but the club beats were a little intense for me…

We went on a Saturday night for their apertivo. It was really crowded but they were able to give us a table after a short wait, which was great. They have a huge cocktail list, a whole section of which if focused around Campari(a favorite of mine). 8 Euro a cocktail and free food made for a nice little outing. The food wasn’t anything worth mentioning, except that there were a lot of options and they kept bringing new plates out. Service was fast, music was great, space was beautiful. Overall a solid, if somewhat generic, option for a cocktail and lively scene.

Centrally located bar, popular with visitors. Go later in the evening(i.e. from about 11pm) and it fills with locals. Has a good party atmosphere with friendly staff. Food is ok — had lunch but nothing else.
