Il Locale

Matteo, the bartender at this hotspot, is considered to be the best mixologist in town. Locale is located in a former palace owned by the Medici family that dates back to the 1200s. This is a must visit for cocktail enthusiasts. The menu is made up of art-themed cocktails that are then further split up by drink style. Of course, the bartenders can make you whatever you’d like. The food menu is limited, but what is on offer—like fried eggs with truffles—hits the spot. Be sure to ask a waiter to take you downstairs so you can visit the underground lab where the bartenders work on their many creative infusions. There are also multiple private dining spaces. Locale sits on the World’s 50 Best Cocktail List.
