Florence Italian Grille

I went to Florence a few weeks ago with my wife and two kids who were home from college. This was the first time we've been to Florence since they opened last year. I must admit that we had a really nice time. Since our kids are now 22 and 23, we all had a drink at the bar before being seated in the dining room. The bartender made some cocktails for us and they were a good price. We all had seafood pasta dishes (because we heard they were great here) and they were all delicious and filling. They give you Italian bread and choice of soup or salad with the entrees, and we split some appetizers, so we had to take some food home with us! My wife and I were pleased so we came back two weeks later with another couple we like to dine out with. Our experience was the same. To be completely honest, we really have nothing negative to say about Florence. They have a good thing going. more

This is not your typical Italian restaurant. It's much more. It's like an Italian restaurant + steakhouse + seafood house + sports bar! The combination provides something for everyone's dining taste. 3 different dining areas provide intimate, family or friendly atmospheres. The menu is large and diverse with a concentration on Italian food plus much, much more. Great service, nice atmosphere and good prices made this an easy 5 star rating for me. I recommend you try it. We now go to Florence every other week with family and friends or for our "date night" in front of the fire place in their dining room!! Gotta try Florence, you won't regret it. more

A best kept secret! Cocktails are generous - not watered down at all. Wines were great. Everything served tastes homemade - from the salad dressings to the meatballs and ravioli. Food is outstanding - best tomato sauce I've had in years. Portions are generous and even the starter bread is as good as the main dishes. Service is knowledgeable, friendly and speedy considering the place was absolutely packed. The desserts and coffee after dinner were fabulous. The prices are reasonable for the generous portions of homemade italian food you get. Homemade salad dressings are phenomenal - bleu cheese was particularly outstanding. Will return again and again. more
