The take
The Take
The Vibe
Bar Artemisia plants a contemporary, technique-forward presence on Florence’s storied Piazza della Repubblica. It deliberately positions itself against the square’s nineteenth-century caffè storici, favoring a program built on technical bar practice rather than heritage ceremony. The piazza’s steady evening traffic—tourists finishing museum circuits, locals cutting through, and cocktail-savvy visitors—keeps the room lively without sacrificing composure. Expect a modern, trend-conscious bar that reads as part of the city’s newer cocktail tier: serious about craft, aware of local ingredient logic, and intentionally set in a busy urban square rather than tucked into a nostalgic past.
Best For
Bar Artemisia is best for people who are after a serious cocktail experience in Florence’s energetic piazza setting. It suits after-work aperitivo crowds and visitors following the city’s cocktail circuit, as well as couples seeking a polished night out—complementing, rather than replicating, the old cafés’ ritual. The bar’s placement on the stone-flagged square makes it easy to pair with early-evening museum or city-center plans; its placement in the World's 50 Best Bars Top 500 signals that cocktail-focused travelers and locals who care about technique will find it especially rewarding.
Ordering Tips
Order with the bar’s technical program in mind: Bartenders at Artemisia emphasize international technique while referencing local ingredients, so ask for a signature or a seasonally driven cocktail rather than expecting a ritual Negroni in the historic-café sense. Because the venue positions itself against heritage ceremony, be open to inventive twists and precise execution. If you’re visiting during the aperitivo window, arrive early enough to nab a spot near the bar and ask staff what current house creations showcase their approach to craft and local flavor.

Where to go if this is not the right fit
If Bar Artemisia does not match the mood, choose Mayday Club for a later, more nightlife-focused alternative. Choose Salotto Portinari Bar & Bistrot when the group wants a more composed bar-and-bistrot setting rather than a dedicated cocktail stop.
For a more traditional Florence experience, Caffè Gilli, Caffe Paszkowski, Caffè Scudieri Firenze are better matches, especially earlier in the day or when the room matters as much as the drink.
Bar context
How It Compares
