Ditta Artigianale, Florence

Featuring an industrial-inspired decor and a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere, this innovative coffee roastery and gin bar is an ideal spot to spend time, particularly in the morning. Created by Francesco Sanapo, a three-time Italian barista champion, it has gained fame for its first-class coffee and remarkable gin cocktails. If you want to mingle with the younger crowd of Florentines over a flat white, cold brew tonic, or cappuccino made with almond, soy, or coconut milk, this is the place to be.

For those seeking a more substantial morning meal, the menu offers delightful options such as pancakes with peanut butter and maple syrup, creamy scrambled eggs, and the classic Croque Madame—a ham and cheese sandwich crowned with a perfectly cooked egg. As the day progresses, they also serve a range of warm and cold lunch snacks. However, be aware that due to its popularity, the place tends to get crowded later in the day, and certain dishes on the menu may sell out early.
