Oibò

Santa Croce, Florence – Just across the street from the grand Piazza Santa Croce is Oibò, a trendy lounge and restaurant that attracts a stylish and refined clientele looking to enjoy a scenic lunch or a chic night out.

Sleek yet cozy, the venue's décor strikes a balance between old and new, offsetting the old stone walls with such elegant touches as a glowing orange staircase, large windows, and glossy furnishings.

The main feature is the illuminated green bar with its signature vine detailing, where many of the mingling guests gather to sip elaborate cocktails.

An outdoor patio offers a view of the Santa Croce Basilica and hosts a constant flow of people by day and a well-dressed crowd of locals by night, while on the weekends, the space transforms into an intimate yet rowdy club setting easily recognizable by the women dancing in the windows and the boisterous groups of young people congregating in the street.

Whether in the mood to dance and sing along to the music or just to enjoy new friends and good conversation, patrons can certainly find the vibe they’re looking for at the versatile Oibò.    ← read less
