We’ve eaten many times at Florentine and enjoy coming back. The restaurant has the best ambiance in the North End IMO. The wine list is good just enough of the right selections. And the entrees are usually very good with homemade pasta and great bolognese. The apps leave much to be desired especially the “bruschetta” which is just soft and dough finger bread with a slice of fresh mozzarella the size of the tip of your index finger. Big disappointment, actually. Real Italian bread and a bruschetta that felt more like it’s Tuscan sister would be nice. The service was generally inattentive last night, unfortunately. We’ll try once more and then move on if things don’t improve.
It was my first time going here recently. It was so cozy and atmosphere was great. Was a bit disappointed because we waited 10 minutes to be waited on which I get their busy. Our server just came and didn’t introduce himself just asked what we wanted. The food was delicious. We got linguine scampi and chicken parm. Their chicken was huge and the bread is amazing. Although service wasn’t great I don’t mind coming back and giving it a second try.
If you love cheese, this is the ideal spot for you. We tried five different dishes and each one was smothered in delicious mozzarella. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was cozy (albeit a bit noisy), and the service was decent, although they made a mistake with our "to go" boxes by mixing up people's leftovers.
Menu is pricey. Lasagna was good. I have never been to Italian restaurant that did not serve your table bread. Spent $100 for two, but must not have met the bread minimum!
