    Our server was great BUT back up bus people or assistants did not seem to have her back. Dishes were not cleared, water was not re poured, etc. For the cost of the meals, would be hard pressed to say we would go back BUT we all enjoyed our meals.

    We sat for several minutes without a server coming by and had no plates or silverware on the table. Once a person brought out the bread, we still had no plates or silverware. They finally figured out who was serving us and that is when the service picked back up. I have always had great service and food here so was surprised at the start.

    Found this restaurant on Open Table. The food is absolutely amazing and super fresh. They even have fresh began if that’s your thing. The portions are large for my standards, but that worked out for a 2nd meal. Service was outstanding. Great venue for Mothers Day brunch. Definitely going back for fresh pasta in the near future.

    We had a wonderful dinner here again. We were celebrating a birthday with some friends and the manager ( Jeff) was so nice to put us in a quiet corner table. The food was wonderful and so was the wine. I had salmon on top of a Caesar salad and it was excellent. The dressing was delicious. We love the atmosphere here---very romantic lighting and quiet setting with no loud music. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we will definitely be back.

    As always Bill was wonderful. We had a guest with a lot of food conerns (celiac, onions, etc.) and Bill made sure that she had a wonderful meal. She loved the trout and the gluten free pasta. Holly was very nice to come to our table and greet us. This is why we come back often. We'll be there next time for a birthday celebration.

    Once again, we had the perfect meal at Firenze. The service is impeccable, the food is always excellent, and the ambience is comfortable, quiet, and satisfying in every way. Firenze is our very local Italian restaurant so we have a sense of family and community when we are there. It's been a solid choice for a dinner or lunch out for over 20 years!

    We were pretty much ignored. No one welcomed us. Sat 10 minutes at the bar waiting for the drinks we ordered to be made. Although the restaurant was almost empty we had a long wait for ordering, and receiving the food. I had Veal Marsala. You expect veal to be tender, it was not.

    I came here with two friends before going to a concert. We were seated right away (I had made a reservation) and we got a table on the patio. They turned on the heat lamps for us so we were very comfortable despite the dipping temperatures. Our server was extremely patient with us as we took awhile to decide on our order. The food came out in stages which was perfect. Polenta and mushroom appetizer with truffle oil came out first which was stellar!!!! Then we got the spinach with pancetta and goat cheese and finally the rigatoni Al Formo with sweet Italian sausage and cheese. Food was superb. The only negative was it took a long time to get our check. We probably should have told our server we had to leave by a certain time but we got carried away talking that we forgot. Anyhow, a lovely evening with great food and fantastic ambiance!

    Once again Firenze delivered an incredible meal! The appetizer of mussels in wine/garlic broth was delicious. They were perfectly cooked and the bowl was overflowing with food. Our entries of Cesar salad with calamari, cheese ravioli, and seafood over risotto were wonderful! All the flavors were complimentary of one another and the three of us enjoyed trying one another’s lunch. The service at Firenze is always spectacular with the staff being attentive and courteous. We had a delightful lunch on the patio and can’t wait to come back!
