Rasputin

Rasputin in Florence is billed as the city’s first true secret bar, a dim, candlelit speakeasy in Santo Spirito with 1920s vibes and Russian-tinged décor. Editorials call it an “underground homage to speakeasy culture” with strong, theatrically crafted cocktails, an extensive whiskey selection, and impeccable, knowledgeable service. Reservations are often essential; entry involves a discreet doorbell and a descent to a small, intimate basement space. Reviews praise the ambiance, presentation, and bartenders, but note high prices, occasional slow service, and variable drink quality. Overall, it’s celebrated as a unique, immersive experience for cocktail lovers, worth the hunt for a memorable evening.
