The best view of the Duomo! Loved it so much we visited twice. Our first visit was on a Thursday just past 4pm and there were plenty of available seats on their terrace. The 2 person tables are closer to the view and were in the sun, while the 4 person tables are just behind the 2 person tables against the wall and were in the shade. We ordered the aperol spritz, violet spritz, and a glass of Merlot. Both spritzes were delicious! They also provided a small bowl of chips, which also tasted really good! Service is slow but we were there to enjoy the Duomo view so were in no rush. Our 2nd visit was on a Friday around 4:30pm. At that point on the terrace, all 2 person tables were taken and only 4 person tables were available. On both days, all good seats were taken by 5pm and you would have to luck out with a group leaving to claim a good seat. So if you want a guaranteed 2 person table by the edge of the terrace I'd recommend arriving before 4pm.
I enjoyed the absolutely incredible view of the Duomo, while having the worst cocktail of my entire life. Seriously, avoid the cocktail with Midori in if you go here - it tasted like a child’s fizzy drink. Other than that, good place, if only for the view!
Terrific rooftop bar with a spectacular view. The price is a bit high due to the view of course. It's worth it. Enjoy the view and the drinks and whoever you are with.
Breathtaking view of Duomo. Service & staff were great. We made reservations a day before so getting in and service was very efficient. Prices for drinks for such an experience well worth it. highly recommended this rooftop bar.
