SottArno

Oltrarno


Run by the hip hoteliers upstairs at SoprArno Suites, this retro-styled cafe sports vintage train carriage racks as shelving and a couple of highly stylised art works of Florentine calligrapher Betti Soldi polka-dotting the walls. Revel in fluffy cappuccinos, creative panini (the sweet mortadella with rosemary is a standout) and crunchy biscotti by iconic artisan-baker-since-1966 Fratelli Lunardi.
