Empireo has run on the rooftop of the Plaza Hotel Lucchesi since 2014, with a pool deck, an American bar and a wraparound terrace that takes in the Duomo, Santa Croce and the Arno bend, paired with the Segno kitchen for an early-evening dinner service through the warm months.
TipNon-guests need a reservation after 19:30; the pool is hotel-guest only. The view across to Santa Croce works best at sunset with a Negroni in hand.
Caruso Jazz Cafe occupies a brick-vaulted basement on Via Lambertesca a step from the Uffizi, with live jazz sets Thursday through Saturday starting around 21:00 and a small Italian kitchen that runs through service for early-evening diners.
TipItalian and touring jazz players cycle through weekly; reserve a table close to the stage for sightlines in the narrow vault. The Risotto Caruso with prawns and prosecco is the house plate.
NOF runs a small Borgo San Frediano room with nightly live music since September 2011, programming Italian songwriters, rock, blues, funk and jazz quartets across a free-entry calendar that has logged more than a thousand concerts in its first decade.
TipDoors at 19:00 for aperitivo, sets from 22:00. The room fits perhaps fifty so arrive early on weekends. Cocktails and a short small-plates kitchen run through service.
701 Rooftop opened in summer 2024 on the seventh floor of the Lungarno Collection's Gallery Hotel Art a step from Ponte Vecchio, with two panoramic terraces pointing at Brunelleschi's Duomo, Giotto's Tower and Palazzo Vecchio and an interior by architect Michele Bonan in warm boiserie and English-club lines.
TipCocktails sit around 22 euros and the bar opens for sunset only, Tuesday to Saturday. Book a terrace table well ahead for the Duomo sightline; the room is small and reserves out fast.

Cosimo opened in summer 2025 on the sixth floor of the Excelsior on Piazza Ognissanti, taking over the rooftop that traded for years as Se-Sto on Arno, with a glass-walled dining room, open-air terrace seating and a 360-degree sightline that picks up the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and the Oltrarno hills across the Arno.
TipThe bar runs from midday to 01:00, so a terrace drink does not need a dinner booking. Restaurant main courses run €40 to €90 and the dress code is smart casual.
Divina Terrazza crowns the Grand Hotel Cavour on Via del Proconsolo with a covered sixth-floor terrace that frames the Bargello, the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio, running year-round with heat lamps in winter and vaporizers in summer alongside an American bar programme.
TipReservations are essential since the deck is small; cocktails sit around 18 to 20 euros. The covered terrace works in the cooler months when other Florence rooftops shut.
