The Wine Window at Osteria San Fiorenzo
In the beating heart of Florence, just a stone's throw from the splendid Basilica di Santa Croce, lies Osteria San Fiorenzo, a place that will welcome you with warmth and authentic flavors. But there is something special that makes our osteria unique: our charming wine window.
Wine windows are small openings that open onto the walls of ancient Florentine residences and historic buildings. These openings date back to the Renaissance period, when Florentine noble families sold wine directly from the cellars of their residences. Our wine window at Osteria San Fiorenzo keeps this centuries-old tradition alive, offering our guests an authentic and evocative experience.
Using the wine window is simple and full of charm. Knock on the window and, in a few moments, you will be served a good glass of wine, directly from the hands of our expert sommeliers. This gesture has become a tradition for curious visitors and locals who want to fully immerse themselves in the historic and convivial atmosphere of the osteria.
The wine window is not just an original way to enjoy a good wine, but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of Florence. As you sip your wine, you can imagine life in the Renaissance, when merchants and artists thronged these streets. Each glass is a dip into the past, a sensory journey through the Tuscan vineyards and ancient Florentine cellars.
At the Osteria San Fiorenzo wine window, we mainly serve Chianti, one of the most renowned and appreciated Tuscan wines in the world. Chianti, with its robust and enveloping flavor, is the perfect accompaniment to our gastronomic specialties, which include traditional dishes prepared with fresh and local ingredients. Each glass tells the story of vineyards cultivated with passion and dedication, offering a unique sensory experience.

This corner of history will offer you a unique experience, combining the pleasure of good wine with the magic of an ancient tradition.
