Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Teeny-tiny cafe near the entrance to the Sant’Ambrogio market, which did a lovely coffee and pastry, and where you could enjoy the vibe of this Florentine neighbourhood. Would definitely recommend!

This is a small little restaurant in a beautiful location, it doesn’t feel touristy and has wonderful staff and food. Very decently priced considering other places and has a lovely cafe chilled local vibe about it. I would highly recommend it if you are looking...for a local cafe in the heart of Florence.More

Cibreo appears to have taken over an entire corner of Florence with a variety of eateries from restaurant to bistro to cafe. On Mondays only the caffe is open and this is where we ended up, although we had wanted to eat at the restaurant....The staff are utterly charming and focussed on customers. Start with a drink outside. Good cocktails expertly mixed accompanied by delightful snacks. We went inside for dinner. The atmosphere is wonderful. The menu carries some imaginative dishes. The staff really want you to enjoy the food and are deeply solicitous. The pasta is excellent. The second courses are possibly a little more middling- not bad but nothing to write home about. We shared a cheesecake topped with marmalade for pudding and this was very good. I want to return to try other eateries in the Cibreo colony to compare and contrast!More

This was an outstanding culinary experience exceeded only by our server Albert. He is a professional you would find at high end restaurants in NY, Paris, or Rome. My wife had Tuna, me red snapper, both cooked perfectly. We split the 1st course cacio e...Pepe pasta which was excellent. It was a fantastic experience but no question Albert made it special.More

We loved this smaller cafe with available patio dining. The service was outstanding and the food matched it. We Started with a nice selection of Italian wines by the glass. The bread and olive oil for dipping was delicious . We had the ham baked...in the oven and the steak tartare to start. For entrees we loved the pastas. The tagliolini cacio e burro, and the pasta with the rags were divine. The bistecca was easily shareable. Definitely worth a visitMore

When Cibrèo Trattoria was fully booked, I was offered a space at the Caffè instead. I have no complaints nor regrets. The food was typical of a florentine trattoria and placed emphasis on the quality of the ingredients. I began with the mixed antipasti before...a primo of preserved tuna pasta, and a secondo of the bistecca Livornese. Each course provided a unique flavour and felt ordinary to the region. I will certainly be coming back.More

Reviewed 22 May 2022

Located on the peripheries of the central city, this cafe and adjoining restaurant of the same name cater to the local neighborhood and consequently have a friendlier and easier vibe. Like most Italian places, this cafe is not going to move at American speeds, so...if that's a requirement, you should look elsewhere. It's a cafe, so the food is good, but not awesome, the wine list conventional, but not stellar, all of which is perfect for a mid-afternoon sit, sip, and stare.More
