The Refined Parlour
A refined living room over the Arno river.
The Picteau is the only Florentine living room with such a special view directly over the Ponte Vecchio.
Open daily from morning until late evening, this is the ideal location for a quick business lunch (our special Quinoa Burger is a must!), a Tea with friends, or an aperitivo with one of our barman’s exceptional creations like the Vintage Negroni: a precious Negroni (invented right here in Florence by Conte Camillo Negroni) created using original spirits from the 50’s!

Royal Negroni

Casinò Royal
