The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Savoy

"In 2011 Italian superchef Fulvio Pierangelini took culinary direction of the smart, street-level L'Incontro Bar & Restaurant"

"The attached L'Incontro Bar and Restaurant features a renowned Tuscan menu created by Michelin-starred Chef Fulvio Pierangelini and a chic dining room that spills out onto the piazza during summer months"

"Negatives are hard to find, though some decor details—like the overly elaborate marble bathrooms—seem a little out of step with hotel’s design ethic, and the redesign decision to cover the original, early 20th century murals in the ground floor bar with panelling was controversial, to say the least"

"L’Incontro bar on the piazza is a favourite rendezvous point for Florentines"

"with plenty of bare wood"

"" The informal L’Incontro Bar & Restaurant has tables out on the busy piazza and serves "modern, good Tuscan food"

"The bar off the lounge is a place to be seen, and the martini bar gets its inspiration from its sib in Rome"

"Music softly radiates from the lobby bar, and you can browse through the many art history and design books there"
