Florence, Italy is a paradise on Earth. The red tiled roofs and ancient architecture meet verdant gardens and the majestic Tuscan mountains. This a city where visitors should allow every indulgence and life that brings them pleasure. Which is where Angel Roofbar comes in, one of the most beautiful places in Florence to enjoy an aperol spritz.

This three story bar is located on top of Hotel Calimala, and has one of the most charming outdoor garden patios in Florence, where vines and roses decorate the railings and seating areas.

Thereā€™s a full view of the Duomo from Angel Roofbarā€™s outdoor bar and patio, and guests are surrounded on all sides by even more Florentine terracotta and marble architecture. The menu offer Italian specialties like pasta with clams and mussels, beef carpaccio, and caprese salad.

On TripAdvisor, people who have been there before praise the food and say the ambience is perfect for a fancy night out in Florence, calling it romantic and magical ā€“ especially for couples. However, some people werenā€™t impressed with the service. One thing that everyone who goes here has in common is that they all love the view.

However, if youā€™re looking to sip Italyā€™s signature drink in a stylish atmosphere, the garden patio is where you want to be. When itā€™s not closed for a wedding party, the Angel Roofbar patio is a chic spot where you can go not just to relax but to feel a glamorous Italian.

The design of the Angel Roofbar patio makes it feel like a secret garden, with the overhanging vines, and would be an especially pretty place to book a table in the summertime. Just be sure that you dress up ā€“ this isnā€™t a casual spot. If you want to mingle with the rest of the stylish Italians, you need to look like one.
