    Cafe Florian

    Posted by RozB 11 August 2006

    Beautiful frescos and ambience. Step back in time. Opened in 1720. If it was good enough for Casanova, Lord Byron, Proust and Rousseau, its good enough for me!

    Piazza San Marco, facing the Basilica, it is on the right hand side about half way along;

    Fantastic ambience, and great historical context (it's where Casanova popped in for a coffee after escaping prison).

    Be aware that there is 5.50 per person cover charge for the pleasure of listening to their orchestra.
