Le Volpi e l'Uva ★ 4.8
Compact Oltrarno wine bar opened in 1992. Curated small-producer list, French and Italian cheese plates, the unhurried pace older enoteche were built for.
The list: Around 350 bottles on the shelf and 45 by-the-glass pours, almost all from small terroir-driven producers across Italy and France
Tip: Stand at the marble counter and ask Riccardo or Ciro for an off-list small-producer Sangiovese; the staff have been doing this since 1992.
Enoteca Pitti Gola e Cantina ★ 4.7
Wine bar across Piazza Pitti from Palazzo Pitti, focused on small handcrafted Tuscan producers. Dinner runs to 22:30, the bar past 23:00.
The list: Hand-selected small-production Tuscan and Italian bottlings, many available by the glass with cured meats and local cheese
Tip: Aimed squarely at small Tuscan producers; ask the owners for a vertical of a single Brunello or Chianti Classico Riserva.
Rasputin ★ 4.5
Florence's original speakeasy, hidden behind a faint blue light on Borgo Tegolaio. Forty-five seats, candlelight, no standing and a strict reservation policy.
The list: Cocktail-led; a small reserve wine list with Tuscan and Champagne bottles
Tip: No walk-ins; ring the doorbell only after a reservation made through the bar's site, otherwise expect to be turned away.
