The Banco A Ristoro

Home cooking, and futurist polydrinks.

You don't have to take part in anything to sit down: you can come just for a drink, just to eat, or just to be here.

Today drinks from 3.30 pm to 10.30 pmkitchen from 7.00 pm to 10.00 pm

There's a word here that has gone back to being whole. In Italy, «bar» was coined in 1898 by Alessandro Manaresi, a Tuscan entrepreneur who gave his place the full name: Banco A Ristoro, the counter where you stop for refreshment. At the Renny it's still called that, and it's the shortest way to say that stories from the past aren't decoration here.

At the counter you drink Italian. The cocktails are built around labels that have a story, from the same era the place is set in, and there's sprayed wine, grape juice and malted barley for those who prefer it.

The menu and the hours

The furniture

Each piece comes from another life

The chairs, the armchairs, the cinema projector, the lamps: everything in here has a story behind it, or had been forgotten somewhere before it was taken in.

Some of these pieces are for sale, so you can take a piece of Renny home. If you like one, just ask.

What people say about the Renny

Too bad it's still underrated!

«One of the best spaces in Florence. I'd say that despite the thousand wonderful things that have happened there... it's still pretty underrated by those who don't know it.»

A little-known gem

«The best alternative to Florence's contemporary nightlife, one that deserves more time and freedom to grow and mature.»

Magical place

«A magical place, a journey through time, an ideal place to find, do and practice only good people, passions and things, leaving dullness, boredom and drama outside the parking lot gate.»

Engaging and full of passion

«A fascinating, stimulating, engaging place with a magical atmosphere, thanks to people full of energy and drive and so much passion, which they pass on to the lucky ones who come here!!»

Welcoming, relaxing and full of music

«A warm, welcoming place, where you can relax in company or express yourself through music.»
