Our story in Piazza Santa Croce, Florence.
Finisterrae was founded in 2003 and is located in Piazza Santa Croce, one of the most evocative squares in Florence. Its location is unique, with its beautiful veranda where you can admire and almost touch the Basilica of Santa Croce.
Finisterrae is a restaurant and pizzeria where you can enjoy the best traditional Florentine dishes but also a selection of typically Mediterranean dishes.
Since 2012 Finisterrae is also a coffee shop, ice cream shop and pastry shop of its own production where master pastry chefs with simple and genuine ingredients will make you taste the best Florentine pastries and many others typically Italian.
Since 2016 we have opened an adjacent restaurant "Osteria Battipalla" completely dedicated to traditional Florentine specialities, you will also find here a veranda overlooking the square and a magical atmosphere day and evening.
Our hospitality.
Our staff will welcome you on the veranda overlooking the Basilica of Santa Croce, for an elaborate lunch but if you prefer fast and light, in the cafeteria and pastry shop for a tasty refreshment or in the magnificent rooms: Malaga, Tangier, Marseille, Naples and Thessaloniki all different and unique in the world to visit and photograph.

La Pizzeria
The simple mixture of flour (the best), water and yeast wisely calibrated and kneaded gives rise to our base for Finisterrae pizza. You can simply season it with fresh tomatoes, soft mozzarella and basil and the aromas in the old wood-burning oven are unleashed to create a tasty and steaming "Margherita"! But you can customize your pizza as you like, all the ingredients are fresh of the day and you can find many delicious ideas already on the menu. Pizza school is offered on appointment for those wishing to indulge in this Italian skill.
