Cosimo Rooftop Restaurant

Perched above the Arno with a front-row seat to Florence’s most iconic skyline, Cosimo Rooftop Restaurant & Bar is where legacy meets reinvention. Taking over the legendary terrace once home to SE·STO, this reimagined rooftop transforms the experience into something far more immersive layered in history, elegance, and a distinctly Florentine sense of drama.

Named for Cosimo de’ Medici, the space channels the spirit of the Medici era through rich textures, warm tones, and a more intimate, seductive atmosphere. The glassy minimalism of the past has given way to a setting that feels curated rather than designed, where every detail, from the lighting to the table settings, invites you to linger just a little longer.

The menu follows suit, elevating Tuscan flavors with a modern, refined hand. Expect beautifully plated dishes that balance tradition and innovation, alongside a cocktail program that leans into artistry as much as flavor. But let’s be honest, you’re here for the view. And as the sun melts into the rooftops and the Duomo begins to glow, the experience shifts from beautiful to unforgettable.
