What an incredible experience at the Firstglass flagship store in Florence! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel completely at home. Cristiana, Jamie, and Guido were beyond kind, warm, and welcoming- the kind of genuine hospitality that makes shopping feel like catching up with old friends. Their knowledge and attention to detail were outstanding, and it was clear they truly care about giving every customer a memorable experience. This flagship store sets the bar for what exceptional service should look like. If you’re in Florence, this is a must-visit. Can’t recommend it enough- grazie mille to the whole team!

I notced the place on google maps and thought I'd give a try. I had a couple of glasses of their Prosecco gold, which was very nice. The winebar concept here is different, which make a change. Location is great, right by the river. I went on a lunchtime, so nice for a quick stop. Luca was a great host. Highly recomnended

Uhhh… what a great place! We came in looking for something nice to drink and ended up having an amazing experience. We had two glasses of Argentine wine and they were absolutely spectacular—great body, flavor, and top quality. The atmosphere is super cozy and perfect to relax and enjoy your time. But the best part was the service: 10/10—friendly, attentive, and with excellent recommendations. Definitely a place to come back and keep trying more wines. Highly recommended! 🍷
