    At Florio's Italian, We believe that the key to a great meal is using fresh ingredients, traditional southern Italian recipes, and a passion for cooking. Our journey began in 1987 in a small Italian restaurant on Sheffield & Armitage in Chicago, cooking recipes my sister and I learned growing up Italian from my mother who learned from her mother and my dad's mother one was from Bari and the other from Cosenza. Today, Florio's Italian continues to bring the flavors of these two regions of Italy to your plate.
    We look forward to serving you soon!

    There are always unique taste experiences offered at 1776. We both had the sole entree special (Sole over minted pea risotto with beurre blanc) - EXCELLENT! We started with the special "nosh" (grilled Michigan peaches with burrata, basil oil, balsamic glaze) - a delicious flavor combo. We shared the seasonal salad (baby arugula, beets, grapefruit, fennel, grapefruit vinaigrette) which was very refreshing. We ended with the pound cake with caramelized lemon curd - it was really quite a light finish to the meal. The recommended wine was Squealing Pig Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough, New Zealand), which was a light, fruit-forward taste that went well with the other courses. Our server, Josh, seemed to really enjoy his work, and the greetings by others on the staff made us feel like we were part of the family.

    Great food - we had the baked goat cheese and the chimmi steak bites - both were absolutely delicious. Friendly staff and prices not ridiculous. We'll definitely be back.

    We enjoyed the food, wide variety of things which came to our table fairly quickly. Our second favorite part was ordering because tablet was very easy to use and we’re grateful to the waiter/waitress who explained everything to us for it was our first time eating here. service was wonderful, definitely worth the trip :)
