Westin Excelsior Florence Features New Rooftop Culinary Experience
SE-STO on Arno overlooks the Arno River and offers enchanting views of the city, rooftops, churches, bell towers of Florence, Ponte Vecchio and the picturesque hills of Tuscany.

Set atop the Westin Excelsior Florence and made almost entirely of glass, SE-STO on Arno offers a dedicated bar for the Italian aperitivo ritual as well as a vibrant restaurant, both surrounded by two spacious terraces. SE-STO on Arno also features designs inspired by the Sixties era with oversized windows, warm and colorful interiors enriched with wooden floors and ceilings, and a curved bar made of wood and alabaster, backlit with bronzed steel inserts.

Open daily for lunch and dinner, SE-STO on Arno features an innovative Mediterranean-style menu offering guests a wide selection of dishes made with fresh seasonal products and accompanied by a prestigious new wine list offering a selection of Italian and international wines. All dishes are creatively curated by Executive Chef Enziana Osmenzeza, a young and dynamic chef who has worked alongside some of the world's most renowned Michelin-starred chefs including Chef Gualtiero Marchesi, Chef Fulvio Pierangelini and Chef Alain Ducasse.

Whether indoors or outdoors, SE-STO on Arno offers the perfect place for guests and local residents to unwind from a long day and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the city while dining, sipping a glass of wine or enjoying a variety of signature cocktails.
