Luna Rossa Bar

Santa Croce, Florence –

Situated on Santa Croce’s bustling Via Verdi, Luna Rossa is an eclectic bar featuring a lounge area, dance floor, and a simple décor that puts the focus on the people and the action.

Dimly lit with red-tinted lights accented by scattered pink candles, the L-shaped bar area and dark wood tables offer a relaxing place for the mix of international students and young locals to kick back with a cocktail and a good conversation, while the pulsing music emanating from the back room invites more energetic guests onto the dance floor.

Although the overall vibe is easygoing, the place can get so crowded that people start pouring out the door. Luna Rossa also takes it up a notch on its theme nights when good-natured patrons indulge in a bit of karaoke or dance all night to Latin beats.
