Florence's historic café, founded in 1733, overlooking Piazza della Repubblica with elegant interiors, pastries and traditional hot chocolate. Its outdoor seating on the square is generally accommodating to dogs, especially for a coffee or pastry break.

Why it made the list

A genuinely historic café experience where your dog can join you at the outdoor tables on one of Florence's grandest squares.

Good to know before you go

Dogs are typically welcome at the outdoor tables; indoor access is at staff discretion. Hours are published on the official site.

Practical notes

House rules and verification

The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: the official page blocked our automated re-check on 31 October 2026, so this listing was last confirmed earlier. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
