Odeon

6 € for a major motion picture? Why not?
We watched Avengers 2 on a Wednesday night, which came out in Italy before it did in America. Once you enter the theater and hand over your ticket, you can purchase snacks, coffee, or alcoholic beverages from the full bar at the counter. My caffe latte was only 1.50 €, although it was not a large beverage.
There were plenty of seats available, although try to get there early (or have someone save you a seat) for preferred seats. Seats are flat and not tiered like many American theaters, though, so sitting in the back is not necessarily the best way to go.
A brief intermission interrupted the movie in the worst moment but apparently that is common. But hey, I paid 6 € for a movie, why am I complaining? Definitely a great date night or group outing venue!

In the center of Florence and want to watch a movie in original language? Odeon is your place. I love this theater. Beautiful glass dome, yellow velvet captain seats, beautiful balconies (usually not open for movies). You can’t ask for a more beautiful place to watch a newly released movie. Go get your popcorn & spritz and enjoy until intermission ;) then get another. Cheers!

No movie theatre I’ve gone to has ever compared to my movie going experience here. I have to say that the Archlight does come near, but it still has a sterility to it that Odeon didn’t.
Words I would use to describe Odeon include plush, classy, chic, warm, comfortable. We got our snacks from the fancy little concession stand and part way through the film the movie was stopped for an intermission. GENIUS! When I was there over a decade ago the first movie I saw here was Il Diario Di Bridget Jones. During the intermission people had the opportunity to revisit the concession stand, visit the bano and chat with friends about the film. It’s such a small community in Florence that you’re bound to run into people you know so it’s nice to get a few moments to catch up mid film. The Odeon was also where we went on September 11 when we got tired of standing up in crowded bars trying to watch CNN. Odeon allowed us to escape the horrific things that had happened in NY and DC that we couldn’t warp our heads around.
When I visit Florence again I’ll be checking the marquee at Odeon to see what films are showing!

I love going to Odeon Cinema, whenever a film that sparks my interest comes in, I’m there … middle center isle, right, end side, under the glass dome.. .
This theater is super elegant (old opera theater) it’s carpeted, has super comfy spongey mustard color seats, high ceilings and amazing decorations. This is a theater where you can come dressed real fancy or wear sweat pants and feel well at ease. I have never tried to go sit up at the balcony, they might only open it when it’s super packed. dunno. Its price is average € 7.50 for weekends and € 6.00 during the week, reduced priced for students € 6.00. Attached to the cinema there is a little bar/​restaurant where they have hot food buffet style apericena and some desert selection (pretty good chocolate cake). In the same room as the ticket office there is a little snack stand where you can buy drinks and snacks no fresh pop corn unfortunately; (
I attend the original sound films, which personally I enjoy MUCH better than the dubbed versions. There are always Italian subtitles so it’s enjoyable for everyone… except for those who tend to get sleepy when reading in a dim lit room (i know lots of people like this)
This cinema is genuinely unique and enjoyable,
check it out, I triple dog dare you …

I loved this theatre! Went to see Meryl Streep in «The Iron Lady» last Friday afternoon and my ticket was only € 6 (full price for adults is € 7.50 after 6pm so not too bad).
The theatre itself is beyond gorgeous, with a full balcony and box seats, plus very old velvet-​y chairs throughout the theatre. It is located just one block from Piazza della Repubblica, just through the arch near the carousel (via degli strozzi?) and to the left.
They have a rotating schedule of American/​UK films that are in the original English with Italian subtitles. Especially fun for those of us learning Italian, it definitely teaches you some new words & phrases :)

The most amazing place EVER. It’s an old opera theater turned movie theater.
If you happen to be in Florence during the summer time, you can catch new American flicks here with Italian subtitles (double winning!)
If you want to see what an old school florentine opera house looks like, go here!

This Cinema is beautiful and well worth a visit just to admire the theatre itself from the upper balcony. They show films here in original language on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
