About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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!

    Restaurant is lovely and service and food are excellent. The pace is leisurely not rushed. Noise can get loud depending on how boisterous your fellow diners are. It might be quieter in the bar area.

    For my palate, the lasagna was the best I have ever had. Other members in the party stated their food was excellent. Very comfortable dinning plus you can easily hear your table’s conversation. Great ambiance

    The food had absolutely no taste! Even after adding a lot of lemon juice, Olive oil and salt the dish was basically an overcooked clump of stuck together pasta with some tasteless vegetables. The service was great however and very timely. As far as the ambience, the music was good but the tables are very close together which means you are bothered by the conversations of other tables. Will not be visiting again.

    Florio's is an excellent addition to the neighborhood and Lake in the Hills. A lot of us have been waiting for a long time for Florio's to open, and it has been worth the wait! From the time we walked in until we left the service was excellent and comfortable; we felt at ease and not hurried or pressured at all. Our waiter, Joshua, was outstanding; helpful with ordering preferences and suggestions that worked out well. Honestly it felt like we were dealing with old friends! And the food was wonderful! We shared a Caesar salad, and my wife had Chicken Piccata, which came with roasted potatoes and steamed asparagus. I had a veal dish, the name I can't remember but very much like Veal Saltimbocca but with spinach, prosciutto, mozzarella and a red pepper cream sauce. Delicious! Also roasted potatoes, as the chef hadn't finished with me yet! Both entrees were large portions, we both took about half of each home. The wine list was impressive, and many nice Italian varieties and blends. I chose a super-Tuscan red blend which was very good and reasonable in price. Plus what I didn't drink came home with me. My wife isn't a wine drinker, but the cocktail she had was very good, she said. All in all, a great new place, and we'll be back soon with friends for another great dinner!

    Disappointing experience. The inside of the restaurant was very pretty but tables were way too close together. The servers could barely get around our table because of how close it was to others tables. Our table was much too close to the area where servers get glassss for the tables. Servers kept squeezing by us and bumping us to get to the glasses. The restaurant was very busy and understaffed. Only 2 servers for the whole restaurant. They really need at least 3. Our server kept apologizing for the wait. We never got our bread. We were offered sparkling or still water we opted for still. We were charged $6 each for a bottle of water which is bizarre. With the restaurant being new I figured a manager would come check on the customers. I never saw anyone do so at any of the tables including ours. The food was average. Not bad by any means but not worth the poor service for sure. Maybe they need to work out the kinks still because they're new but we were disappointed.
