La Florentina, knock me over with a feather! The Owner, a gorgeous lady & soul. I told her, I don't have a credit card today, I do have cash & I love your food I'm seeing. A very big craving for the dishes swept over me, like a tsunami! A delicious tsunami of love cooked into the food. Great ingredients! I can taste them all. Back to Owner & her daughter, another Beauty! I'm beginning again. Hi. I met angels today! Yes I did! They Are Real. Yup! Between the Kindness of the Owner & her daughter, I'm returning from heavenly right now. She told me, she would try to get a food delivery to me & voila! She took some thoughtfulness, kindness & generosity from her heart & soon, my doorbell rings. Yup. I met her daughter next. I didn't know! I called her mom, "My angel!" She smiled & said, "That's my mom." I said, "You're both incredibly lucky & blessed." She smiled again, dazzling & said, "I know I am." Now, here, please note. Yes, she brought me my food. I asked if the next time she was in my hood, if she'd mind dropping me off a menu. She smiled as she left. "No problem!" About 5 bites later, my doorbell rings again. It was Dazzling angel. She has a pizza box & Menu in her hands. She said, "I forgot to bring you our Bread. I'm sorry. Here's our Menu & there are new items on it." Really my speedy brain jumps ahead to? OMG! More deliciousness to chose from?! Holy moly. She handed both to me, I opened pizza box & think I passed out! Face in Bread. Yumm. "No, I'm good. You go on ahead. Thanks tho lol." No! I'm Not suggesting that you have my week, nor my "luck"! No. I'm not saying that La Florentina can, nor should, nor would be capable of doing all this, all the time or even once again. But, holy freakin, try the food here! WoW! Yumm I ordered way too much food, leftovers. Yay! Thank goodness! Chicken in Mushroom Sauce. I'm gonna try including pics, but. Yea, well..... we shall see. Perfect! It's light, while filling. The flavors, partially due to great Ingredient Sourcing, partially cause food is prepared with love & of course, because putting chicken, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms & spinach over penne-Genius! It's Delicious! Bread. Like Focaccia, but more better imo! Besides being as light as air & as delicious as a dream. Yea. It's ok lol. Freakin Delish! Eggplant Rollatini. Spelling? sorry. Eggplant, mine was stuffed with mozzarella cheese & had some chicken stuffed inside too. The red sauce, gravy, tomato sauce-all same thing btw, in American - Italian speak, Outstanding. Is there such a thing as Simple & Complex, concurrently? Now there is! I got so lost in the gravy, I forgot what I was eating! My mind drifted sideways, to Florence, Venice, Rome & other places I've lived in & visited, in Italy. The flavors in this, the taste, that's what did this to me! It tastes like Home, childhood & happiness-all smooshed together! I'm about to cry now. Get it together Jolie! Ok! sorry. Tiramisu-Yup. I said it! OMG! I've been fantasizing about 2 things for a while now. Ok, maybe 4 lol. Hush you plz lol. I ordered 2 pieces! "Of course you did Jolie!" Yup! 1 for now & the other for breakfast! Yup & try it for breakfast, see how good your willpower is sometime, before ya knock it please. Holy moly this is Good. Every flavor Balances. I'm not kidding! It's just perfect is all. Yup. Great Jolie! Now there won't be any left for you anymore. That's ok. I share. Now for easy, but probably my hard fail part. Bringing in the pics! In zero way do my photos here (I hope they come. My pics. Hello lol) represent the incredible foods here. Just a "try" on my part. Overall, I can't Believe it's taken me this long, to find La Florentina! What is wrong with me?! Holy hell Batman?! Thank You Ladies, for making my heart so full, I cried

A change in ownership! Same space and decor, same wood burning oven. A bigger menu, but alas, the variety is w/o surprises. Generous portions, careful quality, a bit too salty for me. But the sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, salads and main dishes are offered everywhere else in the area. Good, unimaginative, safe food!!It's not a judgement, but an opinion.

Highly overpriced. Got a calzone and fingers and fries. For 13$ you get 4 very small low quality fingers and soggy fries. These fingers were like a thick sponge of fake chicken. The calzone had good tasting ingredients but it was soggy thin dough that was floppy when you try to eat the pre cut slices. Save yourself the trouble and go to Savonas.

This place should have 4.5+ stars! Great food, really great and fantastic service!
I've spent the better part of my life here in Kingston and New Paltz, but I have never tried LA Florentina until today. I was told about the wood fired brick oven pizza many times and had to finally try it. I will say, it was very good!I come to find out that the business has recently changed hands. It was pretty obvious from the brand new menus, tables and floors. However, I will say the walls could use a fresh look. From what I understand, the new owners have kept some of the original recipes from the previous owner. The pizza dough, in particular. It is very unique in that, it is unlike most ever other pizza dough you find in the area. It is very reminiscent of a naan flat bread. It is quite good! It was crispy and soft at the same time and could still hold up its shape when folded to eat like a real New Yorker does... :)The inside of the restaurant still feels like a pizzeria, and smells mildly of the wood fire, which I love. They are still in the beginning stages, so no alcohol just yet until the license comes through, but just grab a beer on your way home if you must....I did!All things considered, I would certainly go back for another pie.

La Florentina is not your run of the mill pizza or Italian restaurant. Their unique menu options and wood roasted techniques definitely make this restaurant stand out. We have gone many times and continue to come back because of the quality of the food. The restaurant is in a more run-down location of Kingston, and the atmosphere is a bit dated and run down, but do not let that stop you from trying this place. Go for the food and you will not be disappointed. They do charge an extra fee if you use a credit card and the last time we went they were unable to serve alcohol which is a bit disappointing because their dishes will go great with a nice glass of wine. Hopefully, that issue will get resolved quickly.
