Firenze Trattoria

My friend and I had lunch here both Wednesday and Thursday of this week, most excellent on each occasion.Elena provided perfect service and was quite pleasant as well. Beef carpaccio......World class. Calamari fritti......World class. Caesar salad with anchovies... Excellent. Penne(à la vodka?)Excellent. Fresh halibut with lemon and olive oil... World class.  And a lovely bottle of Pinot.  We will be back on Monday for lunch!

As always, it was a lovely time at Firenze.  From the hostess to the waiters and bus staff, everyone was friendly and gracious. I had the simply grilled trout with a side of pasta and broccoli. Everything was done perfectly. It's especially nice that the broccoli is cooked but with some crunch left! Yum.

As always we love our dinners at Firenze! The food is always amazing and the service is great. They just added to their menu and I love the changes. The prices recently increased but that seems to be happening everywhere so not surprising! Our favorite restaurant

Firenze is always a delight. Shannon is a wonderful server and the food is consistently delicious!!! It's our favorite go-to place!!! Thank YOU!!!

We have made a tradition of celebrating my birthday at Firenze's over the last few years, and it never disappoints. My wife had the Lasagna, her personal go to for this restaurant. I tried the CANNELLONI FIORENTINA, and it was to die for. We also started with the black mussels, which are served in a spicy red broth, and they were excellent as well. Shannon was our server, and she was attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant also comped me with a large piece of Tirmisu for dessert to celebrate my birthday, which was outstanding. We had a 6:30 reservation on a Sunday evening, and the restaurant was surprisingly busy and a little noisy when we first arrived, but many diners were just finishing up and by 7:00 the restaurant had significantly calmed down. I have the impression that this restaurant has a significant local customer base who are a bit on the older side, and have early dinners here. You might want to keep that in mind when making reservations. We brought our own wine, and there is a $30 corkage fee, but we also had a $20 discount coupon from one of the promotional post cards that all receive in the mail on a routine basis, so that took the sting out of the corkage fee. They do offer 1/2 off on bottles of wine on Mondays, if you prefer to sample their wine instead of bringing your own. We sat inside, as it as pretty chilly outside, but they do have a spacious outdoor patio dining area with heaters where we have eaten in the past, and they are very dog friendly out there. All in all, Firenze's is a wonderful dining experience, that never disappoints.

Our favorite Italian restaurant where everything is always enjoyed with great food and wonderful service. We highly recommend to experience. An abundance of parking too, so easy for us.

Excellent food and service. It is also nice to recognize the same employees there for many years. That makes it a very friendly atmosphere for all.

A very well run established business! We sat at the bar. Our bartender was knowledgeable and efficient. Food was fantastic!

You can never beat Firenze's for food, service and ambiance. Always a favorite and never disappoints us. Have been going there for about 15 years and always a special evening.

I love this place because of their delicious food, especially the lasagna. Clean, moderate noise, friendly staff. Try this place and you’ll fully agree with me.

Firenze has a lovely, romantic, Tuscan ambiance. Having a meal outside is terrific when the weather is good? But dining indoors, sitting near their beautiful hand painted mural, really sets the mood and makes any meal feel like special "dinner out". We'll be back!

This Italian restaurant is a gem. The food is superb and the atmosphere is whatever you choose for seating: inside at the bar, inside in the dining room, or outside next to the beautiful fountain. BTW, overhead heating is provided outdoors so it's a special setting for any seasonal weather variation! Also, the servers are outstanding!

On a Friday night taking my wife for dinner we did a walk in and the host wasn’t fond of us coming in to the restaurant and didn’t ask what seat we prefer since it wasn’t busy and the host she just placed us in the corner. The server was okay until she must’ve not heard that my wife wanted more Parmesan on her pasta. The end the food is good and only got a fell well by a busser girl.

All 4 of our dinners were delicious from pasta to chicken picata. The chicken picata was so yummy and came with pasta and broccoli! I highly recommend this dish!
