A charming cafe that has preserved the style and spirit of old times. It has been known since the rule of the Medici and still remains a gathering place for artists, performers, and other representatives of all creative professions.
Beneath the high vaulted ceilings covered with frescoes, the unique aroma of fresh pastries and fine chocolate hangs in the air. It is precisely at "Gilli" that they brew an exquisite creamy cappuccino and prepare the most delicious pastries and chocolates. In addition to desserts, this cafe may also offer you whiskey or wine from Tuscany. And you definitely should not refuse, because culinary masterpieces are best tasted exactly where they come from.
The history of Cafe “Gilli” began in 1733, when the Gilli family moved to Florence from Switzerland. They opened a small pastry shop, which they called the "Dessert Workshop." Very quickly, word of the delightful treats spread throughout the city. Noble ladies and gentlemen began coming here to treat themselves to something delicious, and the small shop soon turned into a cozy cafe. Today, delicious desserts are still prepared here, and the interior seems not to have changed since the 18th century.
