I can’t say enough great things about this place. My wife and I found this little gem while walking in Florence we had the opportunity to shake hands with the owner Christian and could instantly tell we were in good hands. You should definitely consider stopping at at Bar Nice “WHY NOT”!!
Very much enjoyed our first aperitivo here! The customer service was wonderful. I could sit here all night. Wonderful owner. Made for a great start to a great night.
Lovely experience! Great spritzes, I really enjoyed the Hugo and appreciated the snacks and olives. I would recommend to anyone! Perfect for escaping florence crowds.
We stopped in for an aperitivo one evening and were so glad we did! Christian is so friendly and welcoming, on top of making us the best Spritz and Sangria we have ever had. Highly recommend if you are looking for a drink to start your evening in Florence.
This place is a gem and worth the stop. We grabbed a drink right before dinner and Christian was easy going and made excellent drinks (tasty and with a kick!) - the vibe is immaculate and relaxed. 10/10 experience.
Christian was very friendly and the drinks were fantastic! I tried the passion fruit spritz, the Satari Spritz, and the Florentine Spritz. For a bibliophile this is the perfect place with books spilling out from every nook and cranny.
El mejor Hugo que he probado en Italia. El propietario es muy amable y nos invitó un shot de aguardiente. Excelente lugar y ambiente. Súper recomendado.Super petit bar de quartier. Les spritz sont vraiment bon et à un prix largement satisfaisant. L'ambiance est cool. Je recommandeci sono andato insieme ad un gruppo d'amici, il barman è davvero simpatico e accogliente, consiglio davvero questo posto per una setata tranquillaMe and my 3 roomates lived across the street from Nici for a few months this year. Cristian, the owner always provided us with the best drinks, snacks, and service. Bar Nici easily became one of our favorite places in Florence during our time here.
