    Such a fantastic experience! Our waitress was superb, and the wait staff did an incredible job. The food was wonderful. The recommendations by our waitress were on point including the mussels and Lamb gnocchi In our 10 years in this area we have been to this restaurant under three different ownerships. This time was by far the best. We wish them the best in continued success.

    The food was amazing! Service was attentive but not overbearing. There was a little wait to be seated at a balcony table, but it was WELL worth the wait. The view of the sun setting over the river, while listening to a wonderful street musician was wonderful. This spot is a must. We can’t wait to visit again.

    Great experience overall but the process for getting a seat at the balcony tables is a little annoying. I understand there are a limited number, but after making a reservation for 6:30, we weren’t even seated until 7:40. Despite this, service and food were amazing! Maybe just make a better way for reserving those tables because they are so worth it!

    Celebrated my birthday with my elderly family. I remembered ahead of time the full flight of stairs that I didn't think my family could navigate. I called and spoke with the staff and they were able to accommodate my party of 6 on the lower level bar. Issac was extremely helpful and patient with us and we had a wonderful time!

    Service was excellent. Ambiance and noise level were good. Isaac was very knowledgeable and attentive, water glasses were kept filled, etc. Food was OK. Appetizers - rice cakes and caprese salad - were both good. We had 6 people with 4 different entrees...the duck was bland and not hot when served , the shrimp in the risotto was a strange texture, squid ink pasta was good. Pork chop was excellent. We had a couple of desserts and they were good.

    This was our 25h wedding anniversary and first experience with Floriana. We were seated immediately upon arrival and service was top notch! Drinks and appetizers were fantastic! My wife's entree was over salted, we mentioned it to the staff and they were extremely professional and accommodating. Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone looking for a fine dining experience.

    We decided at the last minute to try Floriana and it was a great choice. The staff was friendly and our waitress was amazing. She was knowledgeable about the menu, accommodating to changes, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious. The calamari and brussel sprout appetizers were perfectly flavored. The seared salmon with pesto was flavorful and the pasta dishes were amazing. The restaurant is very pretty with a nice upscale vibe without being fussy. We had a wonderful time and will definitely go back.

    We had 8 adults in our party. The special drink of the day was very good. Almost everyone in our party ordered a different meal and everyone truly enjoyed every entree. We had duck, beef, shrimp, scallops, lamb and spaghetti. Several said that their meal was one of the best they’d ever had. Our waiter was excellent. He throughly explained every dish several times. Service was the best, We will definitely be back.

    WOWOWOWOWOW!!! I went to celebrate my fiancés birthday and they were so amazing to us the whole night. I specially requested a table on the balcony and they accommodated to us nicely. It was so beautiful being right next to the river and the naval battleship. The ambiance was amazing. Super romantic. The server Sean was OUTSTANDING! We ordered wine to start which was excellent, they had a really lovely selection of wine and cocktails. For an appetizer- we started with the lobster bisque and that was my FAVORITE part. So YUMMY! My fiancé had the mahi dinner and I had the tortelloni mignon and I tried both dishes and they were so delicious!!! Way better than I expected them to be. I’m not a big seafood gal but wow these blew me out of the water. I asked if they wouldn’t mind bringing out a cake for us to celebrate at the end of the dinner and they brought us a tiramisu cake which was so lovely to end the night with. Florianas really made his birthday so special for us!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    Such a great date night! We sat out on the balcony overlooking the river in a space that was just ours. Ty was a great waiter, personable and gave the best recommendations. The meal was delicious, by far our favorite we’ve had in ILM in a while. We had the tortelloni mignon and lamb gnocchi, both so good! Definitely recommend!
