Locale Firenze

Florence, Italy

No. 33 on The 50 Best Bars 2026, No. 22 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2025, and No. 21 on Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026.

Locale pours inside Palazzo Concini, a palace whose bones date to the 1200s and whose basement arches may be Roman, the 'Labo-ttega' bar lab is tucked into that medieval underbelly. Bar manager Fabio Fanni's program is low-waste classics-with-a-twist built on seasonal produce and modern technique; the 2026 menu names its drinks after Italian hand gestures. No bar reservations, walk in.
