About
Caffè Concerto Paszkowski was founded on the same site as the Caffè Centrale, one of the first cafes in Piazza della Repubblica. In 1903, the establishment took on the name Paszkowski when it was acquired by the Società Carlo Paszkowski & C., pioneers in the Italian beer industry. It became a beer hall and cafe featuring Florentine musical evenings in the style of a Live Music Cafe. In the early 1900s, the Caffè Paszkowski became well-known as a “literary cafe” welcoming intellectuals and writers such as Prezzolini, D’Annunzio, Soffici, Papini, Montale, Saba, and Pratolini. Unchanged since its inception, today the Caffè Concerto Paszkowski remains an elegant concert stage and cafe right in the heart of Florence. It was designated as a National Monument in 1991.

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.

My wife and I have dined at Paszkowskie’s twice thus far and loved it. The atmosphere is very open and inviting. The food is good and the table furnishings are very elegant. Comfortable sofa seating for those interested in just drinks is also on offer. The restaurant has a lovely view of the Piazza della Repubblica and its carousel. Live musicians play well and without overwhelming the dining experience. By far the most alluring aspect of the restaurant, however, is its cheesecake. It is the best in the city. The waitstaff, particularly Diana and Marco, were very gracious when we ordered slice after slice one evening. They were even able to accommodate our request for a whole cake to be prepared for us the next day. Nota bene: the dessert pictured below is their house special dessert, a delightful blend of bananas and Chantilly cream. Highly recommended as well! De gustibus sic disputandum est.

I have visited Florence on multiple occasions and have found that this place offers the best service! Special shoutout to Andrea (not sure about the spelling). He went out of his way to recommend us local cuisine and was very helpful! Never experienced such an attentive server! We tried calling the next day to thank him but the bar was not open yet. Definitely recommend!

I cannot recommend this place enough. I ordered a tartar with a class of Pinot noir which was just mine blowing! I then ordered a Manhattan with two cherries (which I just love) and honestly I think it was the best Manhattan I’ve ever had. And I have to personally thank the two sweetest, most patient and professional people I’ve ever met; Felicia and Andrea! Thank you for an excellent experience!!!

Shocking service. After being shown to the table and a waiter taking our order, no one appeared for 20 minutes even with drinks and bread. After asking another waiter about our missing drinks, 4 waiters turned up with drinks and our main course. Food was ok but then the waiting staff disappeared again. I don’t mind to service my own wine but at €80 a bottle I would of expected a little table service. I don’t normally review restaurants but considering the cost of the meal, I had to comment. Will not return.

We had a wonderful brunch here on our last day in Florence, and we all thought it was the best spot on the square, one of the absolute best in Florence. Two of our group ordered Avocado Toast and requested if an egg could be added - we were not even sure the request would make it to the kitchen, but the kind and thoughtful chef added a sliced hard-boiled egg - perfect. The pancake, scrambled eggs, and bacon meal was also amazing. Each Americano coffee arrived in a small individual pewter carafe so that we could actually pour ourselves several cups of coffee through the meal. Service was excellent, our server was professional and attentive, he spoke Italian, English, Spanish, and more. The setting outside was perfect, with a shaded awning covering and a lovely breeze coming through on a very warm day; inside has a beautiful look and vibe. The bathrooms are wonderful. The front bakery case has wonderful looking sandwiches and cakes / treats. We loved this place, and would definitely return.

We had a tour to meet, so we were pressed for time. We sat in the wonderful covered outside area, ordered two salads that were the Italian version of "Salade Nicoise"..tuna, egg, greens, olives, green beans,etc. Server got us in and out in 40 minutes...am miracle in Italy. Food was great, the inside area looked very inviting.

We went here for breakfast, in an attempt to find a richer breakfast variery for breakfast in Florence. The food is very good, there are enough choices, but not too many, which is great! Tried the eggs with bacon, the pastry, fruit salad, strawberry with icecream and American pancakes and we loved the food. The service is nice but a bit slow, probably as they seemed understaffed. And the location is very central as well as offers a wide indoor seating space in a beautiful historical building. Finally, we found it quite pricey versus similar options in Florence. All in all, a very good find for breakfast!

Message for the owners/managers/managers regarding the "aperitif" you serve: I'd say that's enough now. I've been going to Paszkowsky for aperitif for about twenty years, and it has steadily gotten worse. Last Saturday it bordered on the ridiculous when the waitress placed the aperitifs in front of us and "presented" three ridiculous little bowls. I quote verbatim: "Here are the Spritz accompanied by chips, olives and spicy crunchies". Marco Stabile at the Ora d'aria could not have done better by presenting one of his sublime dishes. To make up for such misery, we added two scones, spending almost 50 Euros. Tip for the aforementioned managers: exit left and walk until Irene. You can have a nice aperitif of your choice, as I will do next Saturday.

This is definitely worth stopping at if you are in Florence Italy! The decor inside is upscale and very nice, the outdoor seating is also just as spectacular. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu options. The food is excellent and the service is phenomenal, I believe you are paying for the experience more than anything as it is a bit pricey and the portion sizes are quite small compared to other places nearby. However, you are sure to get some amazing pictures here and enjoy a light afternoon lunch.

Smashing spot for a cooling drink while exploring the city. We sat in the outside conservatory area as you can watch the comings and goings in the square while sipping your drink. What a love about Florence is your drinks always arrive with a little plates of nibbles and Paszkowski definitely offered the most interesting snacks. We only stopped for one as it was our last day and we had more exploring to do but the staff where great, service friendly and quick, a must stop if you are in the area.

A very elegant cafe to refresh yourself in the very hot sun of Florence. Beautiful surroundings, lovely coffee and an amazing selection of pastry, cakes and confectionery and charming staff . We had the benefit of being served by a young lad called Nicolo who made excellent recommendations from the cake displays.

We stayed a week in Florence and spent every evening at the Paszkowski: one evening for dinner and the other evenings for an aperitif with music. We found a beautiful environment, with young staff, always available, who have always shown great professionalism and kindness, making us feel at home. Special thanks to the "Magnificent 5": Directors Leonardo and Matteo, Luli, Felicia and Kulibaly, and all the dining room staff. If you go to Florence don't miss an evening at Paszkowski, you won't regret it. Daniela and Giuseppe

The quite blond waiter was very rude. It was a very hot day, we sat outside, there was no fan, just a few "pipes" spitting water, we realized that they weren't reaching us so we were very hot and we changed table but that one was even worse, so in my attempt to find the right table he told me ironically "is that the last table you are going to change or will it be another one?". We had not even ordered, so he didn't have to move anything, I regretted not leaving right away. He was terrible🤮The shakerato and canoli we tasted were not good either, nothing special. But in general, they were very rude in Florence and we didn't find a place with good coffee in Italy.

A Florence institution, and deservedly so. Good cocktails, well prepared traditional food, wonderful people watching on the square, live music every night from 9.30am. Most importantly, superb service. Our server Diana was absolutely charming and outstandingly professional, and the other waitstaff we interacted with were all equally good as well. Good winelist, with most bottles priced only 30-40% or so above the regular retail level. Can especially recommend the Spaghetti alle vongole!
