Dante, Boccaccio, Botticelli, Machiavelli, Da Vinci, Michelangelo… all had the misfortune of living in Florence long before the Hard Rock Cafe Florence opened. Thankfully, you can feast at Italy’s newest Hard Rock Cafe, which is located in a former cinema, and enjoy delicious American fare while admiring a memorabilia collection that would have dazzled even the great masters themselves. See a Cavern Club membership card signed by all four Beatles and rhinestone-covered trousers worn by Michael Jackson during the 1981 Triumph tour and much, much more. Highlights - Come to know just why Hard Rock Cafe finds itself in over 50 countries - Step foot inside a dining experience with a difference as you set your eyes over exclusive rock memorabilia - Choose from many menus and pick what suits your taste buds the best Like all great revolutions, the Hard Rock Cafe wasn’t meant to succeed. It was 1971 and as the Swinging Sixties had given way to the Super Seventies, fashions and tastes were changing. Two hungry young Americans were in London and couldn’t find a decent place to eat a decent burger… so they opened up a joint in the English capital. Their landlord didn’t think it would last and gave them just a six-month lease. Four decades later, there almost 200 Hard Rock Cafes in more than 50 countries worldwide. The first T-shirt hit the streets in ‘74 and the first piece of memorabilia came, fittingly, by chance in ‘79 when Eric Clapton asked to hang his Lead II Fender guitar over his favourite bar stool and thus mark as his spot. Today, the rock 'n' roll collection has more than 74,000 pieces and is the largest of its kind. By 1982, the Hard Rock Cafe had gone global and the rest, as they say, is history (that’s still being written)! Choose from one of the following menus: GOLD MENU MAINS Original Legendary® Burger Fresh Black Angus steak burger, with smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, crispy onion ring, leaf lettuce and vine-ripened tomato, served with our signature steak sauce and seasoned fries on the side.
