The oldest cafe in Florence, Gilli opened in 1733 and has occupied its current address at Piazza della Repubblica 39R since 1917. Liberty-style interiors featuring Murano crystal chandeliers, marble counters, and ceiling frescoes make it one of the most ornate coffee rooms in Italy. Marinetti and the Futurists famously debated at these tables. The espresso is classic Italian, the pastry case exceptional.
