Atrium’s Bar Manager Massimiliano Prili is a master at mixing both classic cocktails and developing concoctions with a flare as unique as Four Seasons Hotel Firenze itself, and together with Mixologist Edoardo Sandri, offers a selection of delicious and out-of-the ordinary drinks, from the Valentino, their take on the classic Negroni, to the Tiramisù Cocktail. In the evenings, live piano music creates a relaxed, informal atmosphere that extends outdoors onto the terrace during the balmy summer months.
