Giacosa, Florence

This flashy but ultra-classy café and bakery owned by designer Roberto Cavalli is next to Cavalli's store, and features his signature leopard and zebra prints. When your feet get tired from shopping on nearby Via Tornabuoni, stop here for pastries, a great cappuccino, or a negroni cocktail-- after all, it was invented here. The cappuccini have a "C" for Cavalli swirled on top with chocolate sauce, and there are sandwiches at lunchtime. If you like pastries, the budino di riso is great. At night, it turns into a club so wear your dancing shoes-but make sure they're Cavalli brand!
