Enoteca de’Giusti and Enoteca Spontanea hold the next two places.
-
Rank 1. Enoteca Bellini
Wine Bar
A wine bar tucked into a quiet corner of Florence that you'll walk past twice before you find it. Enoteca Bellini keeps things humble: meat and cheese plates, crostini, anchovy toasts, and a Champagne fridge that gets more use than you'd expect. The person running the room has a gift for matching wines to whoever's in front of her, which makes leaving a longer project than planned.

Rank 1. Enoteca de’Giusti
Wine Bar
A sleek wine bar from the team behind Pitti Gola e Cantina, de'Giusti leans hard into Piedmont and Tuscany, meaning the list runs red and serious rather than fashionable. Antipasti hold their own, with chicken liver pâté, carpaccio, and a ricotta flan keeping the table busy between bottles. The food is refined enough that staying for a full meal feels natural, if not inevitable.

Rank 1. Enoteca Spontanea
Wine Bar
A natural wine bar and bistro in the Oltrarno where the sibling team behind it spent years earning Florence's trust before opening a place of their own. The wine list leans French and Italian, the food leans seriously good, and the charcuterie and cheese come from Slow Food producers. Handmade pasta, flaky quiche, whipped salt cod on toasted brioche: the menu moves with the seasons and never tries too hard.

Rank 1. Fiaschetteria Osteria Nuvoli
Wine Bar
A glass of house wine and a crostino smeared with chicken liver is about as Florentine as it gets, and Nuvoli has been delivering both a short walk from the Duomo for a long time. It's one of the city's last proper vinaini, wine sellers who keep a short menu of ribollita, slow-cooked stews, and charcuterie alongside the pours. The room fills with locals who clearly don't need to read the chalkboard.

Rank 1. Le Volpi e L’Uva
Wine Bar
Just off the Ponte Vecchio, this wine bar doubles as a shop, so if the staff talk you into something you love, you can take a case home or ship bottles abroad. The team skews deep into small, passionate Italian producers, and they know their stuff. Charcuterie and warm crostini keep things civilized while you taste. It fills quickly with locals who seem to have strong opinions about everything, which is exactly the right atmosphere for a place like this.
