Aperitivi<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFlorentine wine bars know how to lure customers: free food. And we’re not talking beer nuts. The aperitivi, as the bar food is known, may include cheese ravioli, seafood risotto, crisp artichoke salad, grilled vegetables and tomato bruschetta. For the price of a glass of vino rosso (about 5 to 8 euros), you can eat like a duke at the cavelike cantina of Fuori Porta (Via del Monte alle Croci, 10r; 39-055-234-2483; www.fuoriporta.it<\/a>) or under the stars on the roof of Rifrullo (Via San Niccol\u00f2, 55r; 39-055-234-2621). For more action, you might head to La Dolce Vita (Piazza del Carmine; 39-055-284-595; http:\/\/new.dolcevitafirenze.it<\/a>\/) and order a spritz (Aperol and prosecco) or a negroni (Campari, vermouth and gin). It’s the favorite spot of locals who are serious about their eating, drinking and merrymaking.\u201d
