Piccolo Cafè — Restaurant in Florence

Had a bad experience visiting "gay street" in Rome a few days before so when we walked up to Piccolo Cafe, we were skeptical.

Couldn't be happier that we decided to give it a chance. Inside, you'll find a dark haired, heavily tattooed person named Loretta. Loretta made us feel welcomed and affirmed our experience in Rome.
