Caffè Giacosa

Sometime in 1919 or 1920, the Caffè Giacosa witnessed Count Camillo Negroni and a young barman named Fosco Scarselli invent a drink they called the “solito”. What Italians called an “American” but with the added kick of gin that then was rechristened simply “Negroni”. Today, after a meticulous remodeling project, Roberto Cavalli has reopened Florence’s historic “salon”, restoring to the city one of its most famous bars. Open Monday to Saturday, from 7.30am to midnight.
