Caffe Martelli

Classic tourist trap.

Went there with an Italian friend before and the prices were very reasonable.

However, when I went on my own, the prices were more than double what I had paid with my Italian friend.

Worst Italian experience ever. The seller kicked us out when we sat down to wait for the coffee. DON'T GO THERE

Do not go. Black iced coffee cost 8 euros. Absolutely ridiculous. Terrible taste too.

Do not go here if you’re a tourist. I’ve been to coffee bars in Rome and Florence so I had a certain expectation on how to order coffee. We got two small lattes to drink standing. She didn’t make fresh espresso, instead she made some nasty tasting instant coffee and poured milk over it. When we asked for water she asked how many, instead of giving us both a glass of water which is what I came to expect in several bars in Rome and Florence.
Incidentally, we saw some other guests come in who spoke Italian and they got fresh espresso. I don’t understand why I’d get a nasty coffee just because I’m a tourist.

In the end we were charged for the 1 glass of water as well. I don’t recommend this place at all. I’d have rather not had coffee at all.

We were completely ripped off. We were somehow charged 24 Euros for two ice creams. Having ordered the ice cream the vendor who served us said we could have an extra scoop of we would like. We thought he was just being generous and so accepted, but it would seem it was maybe a way of charging is a lot more. Being new to Florence and a bit flustered I didn't quite realize just how much we had paid until we walked away. I checked my payment card details as I couldn't quite believe it. Don't go here!

Tourist scam, don’t let the terras in the sun mislead you. 8 euro for a cappuccino is the price here. Can’t imagine what it will cost if you eat food here. Go somewhere else.

First time I write a comment on Google : Please run away and don't go in this cafe, a real tourist trap : different prices are applied and don't match with the menu. We complained when we received the bill, the owner explained the prices are different because we stayed inside : we paid more than twice the prices shown at the entrance ! We paid but made it clear to the owner that it was outrageous and total robbery !
