The Red Jackets opened their doors for the first time in 1897 under the name of Brewery Fratelli Reininghaus. In a turn-of-the-century Florence, the restaurant began its journey as an elegant and cosmopolitan meeting point in the heart of the city.

After World War II, Scudieri established itself as the café of the Florentine bourgeoisie: a place for meetings, readings, breaks after the theater and walks in the center.
It is the era of the crossaints displayed in the window, of the waiters in white jackets, of the daily rites that become habit and culture.

In the nineties, the quality of pastry and service remained unchanged.
Scudieri welcomes an increasingly international clientele, remaining faithful to its refined identity and its function as a historic venue.

Today Scudieri is an internationally recognized Florentine institution: cafeteria, pastry, bistro and cocktail bar work in synergy 7 days a week, from 7 in the morning to 22. The artisanal offer, combined with the extraordinary setting, makes every visit a unique and memorable moment.
