Café Via Flora is a very cozy and inviting place. All of the seating is outdoors, which makes it perfect for a relaxed dinner with that charming Palm Beach island touch.
The menu offers a variety of well-curated options, each thoughtfully prepared with a light Italian flair.
Vanessa and David provide excellent service — they are attentive, warm, and truly pay attention to every detail, making the experience even more special.

Wonderful hidden gem just off Worth Avenue. Outside dining in a quaint courtyard. Excellent service! Also small interior dining room overlooking the courtyard.

In my opinion, this is the worst restaurant in Palm Beach. The waitstaff is ill-tempered and surly, and the food is average at best. If you want a similar atmosphere with far better food and service, try Renato’s or Bice.

Wonderful charming restaurant.. we sat inside since it was actually a very chilly night... there are only 4 indoor tables and that little room is adorable.. we are very excited to go back when we can sit outside (there are a lot of outdoor fireplace/heaters..) The Dover sole was EXCELLENT!!!
Cynthia
This is without doubt a very special restaurant and joyful experience. The setting, the food and service are all equal in their excellence. My favorite choice, always Cynthia West Palm Beach
Janice
Have been to Cafe Flora often over the past few years and have always enjoyed it. Tonight I realized what an awesome setting it is - peaceful and calm! Even with more tables placed in the courtyard each year. Will be back more often.

A perfect evening on the via. Dinner was delicious. Ken was a wonderful server. We recommend Flora to everyone from out of town.
Samantha
Beautiful setting tucked away on Worth Avenue. The service was excellent and the food delicious. Linguine with clams was tasty and chicken panzanella and pesto were also so good. Drinks were on point. Carrot cake and key lime pie were sweet treats. Don't miss this Worth Avenue gem.

We dined in this beautiful restaurant for New Year's Eve. The dining area is gorgeous and was decorated for the holiday with balloons and other festive trimmings. Because the dining area is outside, it was very cold and windy. They did the best they could with heat lamps. In retrospect, they probably should have taken down the balloons, because we were not the only ones continually getting hit in the head. The food was good but overall lacking flavor. Of note, the lobster bisque and linguini with lobster were underwhelming. The lobster in the linguini was overcooked and then chopped up to the point it could have been anything, and the spicy sauce was flavorless. Our server was enthusiastic but made many mistakes, getting the wine order wrong, failing to tell us about a misprint on the menu for an item we ordered, double charging for a different glass of wine . . . Everything was fixed, but you expect more at the price point. That said, the manager was impeccable and truly did her best to ensure every guest was enjoying the evening. It's a lovely spot, and I imagine it could be wonderful.
Formerly one my favorite places. One wine list for 8 people? No menus? Food arrived quickly but small portions and cold. Empty shells , where are the clams? Steak? Not one on the menu! Leave the salt and pepper and Parmesan on the table please! 2 rolls sliced for all of us! Last year's $75 bottle of wine now $145! Prices outrageous....

Exactly what we needed to round out our Christmas Day. Beautiful evening under the stars with great food. Delicious and savory, best steak we have had in a long time. Ambience was A+++. We will dine there again.

The Chicken dish that I get at other Italian restaurants are Breast of Chicken but this chicken came so flattened I couldn't tell if it was chicken or even chicken in it. But they were very accommodating & replaced it fast with a good Steak Filet.

We love Cafe Flora and today's lunch was no different. It was a beautiful day to eat in the courtyard and every bite was delicious. The “ugly tomatoes” started our meal, followed by Lovey's Favorite for me - zucchini spaghetti with shrimp and garlic -delicious, I ate every bite. My husband had the Shrimp and Penne, which was also delicious! Our server was attentive without hovering. A fabulous way to spend a Saturday in Palm Beach before heading to the airport! We'll see you again Cafe Flora!!

I ordered a passion fruit cocktail and the guy could not understand my order in english. Then another guy came with glasess said “they dont know I am The waiter!!”. Well this one at the end did not know who ordered what at our table when we had to split the check and it became a mess. He would count the three juices but not know to whom belong. It was my bday but i was so embarrassed in front of my friends ai brought from Hollywood to a “high end” lunch....which turned out to be a mess. Food was mixed up but the taste was great. Thinking if I would ever go back . It was my No1 place to dine.
