FLORENCE Districts
SAN NICCOLO'
by Marco De La Pierre
 San
Niccolò is one of the most authentic and attractive neighborhoods
in the city. It's located in the Oltrarno zone (other
side of the Arno River), at the foot of the beautiful hills that
house Piazzale Michelangelo and Forte Belvedere, far from the
overcrowded tourist-beaten tracks. Here Florentines and visitors alike
can still breathe the atmosphere of an 'authentic Florence',
mostly inhabited and frequented by native Florentines who know very well
its secrets, bars, enoteques (wine bars) and its traditional (and excellent!)
restaurants.
San Niccolò is the district where you can find
the trendiest bars and the most typical enoteques and restaurants. If
you'd like to see how the young Florentine jet-set spend
their nights, stop by the most distinctive bars in the neighborhood:
Negroni and Zoe (both located in Via dei Renai) where the 'chic-est'
of the city's beautiful people meet every evening for 'aperitivo',
a distinctly Italian tradition which includes in the price of a before-dinner
cocktail a buffet of appetizers and finger-foods.
 If
your preference is rather to spend the evening in the warm atmosphere
of a typical 'enoteca' (wine bar), pay a visit to the
'Antica Mescita San Niccolò' or 'Enoteca
Fuoriporta', two of the most beautiful wine bar/restaurants
in the city where you can truly experience the real 'taste' of Tuscany.
In Sant'Ambrogio you won't find famous monuments (except fot the San
Niccolò Gate, the only one of the 5th walled circuit
of the city that still rise at its originary height),
churches, flashy gelaterie or big, fashionable hotels... on the contrary,
you'll be immersed in the magic atmosphere of an ancient Florence of
colourful houses, ancient walls, hidden streets and gardens,
and ancient stairways...
We definitely recommend living in or, at least, spending a night in
this characteristic Florentine quarter, and don't forget to taste the
wonderful offerings in the local wine bars and restaurants.
