It's a classic Italian-American restaurant with uneven food quality. The fish of the day was excellent! But the salad caprese (buffalo mozarella with tomato and basil had a tasteless tomato, with was criminal as there were fresh, amazing tomatoes for sale around the city -- we had a better salad caprese the next day at home) and the quail stuffed with sausage (the sauce and polenta was excellent but the sausage was bland and the quail added nothing to the dish; it was really a let down to the meal) were subpar. At the price point of this restaurant, such uneven quality is unacceptable. The service and atmosphere was good, but what does it matter if you're being served an inedible tomato?

If you want REAL Italian food, this is the place! You don't stay in business for 36 years if the food is lousy!

Amazing food every time, especially the gnocchi trio. Amazing service by Paulo and Fabio and all involved. I have been going to Firenze By Night for about 20 years and it has never disappointed.

Fabio and Paulo were great. The food was so good that we ate their two nights in a row.
Service was rushed and food came in like 5 minutes, which was clearly not enough time to make 3 pasta dishes (likely microwaved). Fettuccine with seafood was overcooked. $28-30 for a bowl of pasta. Don't understand how this place is 4.7. Maybe we were unlucky

Our family favorite in San Francisco. They have some of the best Italian food especially the pastas and risotto! Aside from great food, amazing service. We love this classic Italian restaurant - be sure not to miss one of the best no frills Italian restaurants in SF!
Firenze By Night is always PERFECT!! They're welcome us like we're family! The service is fun and helpful with food and wine suggestions. And the food is amazing every time!!!

This is my absolute most favorite restaurant in Olive San Francisco! I will be celebrating my 70th birthday here next weekend!
Oh my goodness, where do I even begin with Firenze? This isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience crafted with love.
Each bite was a revelation of authentic Italian flavors. The gnocchi is absolute perfection. Specials are always delish as well.
Beyond the exquisite cuisine, the hospitality is truly exceptional. The team’s genuine care and attention to detail made our evening feel incredibly special. It's clear they pour their hearts and souls into this restaurant, and it shines through in every aspect, from the welcoming ambiance to the heartfelt service.
If you're looking for an authentic taste of Italy at an SF staple, you've found your spot!

Such a great old school Italian experience. Very welcoming chef/owner at the door who genuinely got to know us and made us feel at home. Food was incredible. We got the gnocchi and chicken piccata and both were delicious. Will definitely come back next time we’re in town!

Really good service and pretty good Italian food. Food was 4/5, but service was 5/5 hands down.
The tables were kind of close to each other. This reminded me of the restaurants in Italy, but this also meant a lot more noise and less intimacy.
