T1’s Buoni & Belli barely shows up in reviews
That absence says a lot: Buoni & Belli in Terminal T1 feels like the default airport snack bar, not a destination. It sits airside in the small FLR departures zone, so you’ll see it once you clear security and start walking toward the T1 gates. The airport lists it among a handful of bars and cafés, with no signature dish and a middle‑of‑the‑road rating of 3 out of 5.
Think quick Italian bar rather than full restaurant. Expect espresso, cappuccino, bottled water, and basic soft drinks at prices a bit higher than city cafés in Firenze, usually in the €2–€4 range for coffee and €3–€5 for drinks. Pastries, panini, and packaged snacks sit in the case; they cover the basics for a short‑haul hop out of T1. If you care about food, eat in town first and use this stop as a backup for a last espresso or a packet of crackers.
There’s no public list of opening hours, but T1 operations start early with 06:00 departures, and Buoni & Belli generally tracks those flight banks. Count on it being open in the morning surge and early evening wave, less so late at night after the last departures around 22:00. Seating is limited to a few small tables and counter spots near the bar, and they fill quickly when two or three flights out of T1 board within 30 minutes.
With no strong reviews, there’s no cult favorite order here. Safest bets: single or double espresso, bottled water, and pre‑packed snacks, which tend to be more consistent than heat‑lamp panini. Skip anything that looks like it has been sitting for more than an hour. Tip: check your gate first; T1 is compact, but you still want to grab your coffee here only after you know if your flight is boarding from the lower bus gates or the main boarding doors.
