Florence Italian Restaurant Inc

1st time there Saturday Night. Restaurant was about 1/2 full. We were seated immediately. The food was great. I had the Crab Raviolis, my wife had a Steak with mashed potatoes and veggies. We both were very satisfied with our meals. The garlic bread is very good! Service was good. Everyone was polite and attentive. We will definitely be back. Thank you and cya soon!

The restaurant feels almost like a hole in the wall. The atmosphere feels very authentic, and very peaceful. The staff are amazing, and have always been so polite to my family and I. I have seen staff members immediately go to hold the door open for those who use canes or wheelchairs. Over the times I’ve been there, I had many of their items, and all of them are great. My favorite item is the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola. Overall, this restaurant is absolutely an underrated gem, and I’d completely recommend it.

A cute little Italian restaurant in Martinez. Very basic menu. I had the lasagna . It was ok. Nothing terrible but definitely not worth the almost 20$ pricetag. My husband had a chicken parmigiana and again nothing special. It wasn't terrible just not really great. The gatlic bread appetizer was a bit disappointing. 4 tiny pieces of garlic bread toasted. No dipping sauce barely enough to share between the 3 of us. Our friend liked the ravioli he had. The service could use some work. I was handed my plate and warned it was hot? They werent busy but didnt refill our water even though they could see it was empty. I didnt even get a chance to ask for more. We werent asked how our diner was , also didnt even come back to the table after until well after the meal was done. All the small things that can make your experience a better one. Didn't make for a nice dining experience out and I wouldnt waste my money here again.

First time, wanted some Italian food before catching a movie, found this place got to say it was a great find in Martinez. Ordered the special Creamy spinach and artichoke Alfredo pasta with shrimp and the Rigatoni Pasta, both 10 out of 10. Recommend this place if you want a simple and delicious Italian restaurant with great service and great ambiance, next time I’ll sit by the window to get a good view of Main St.

I can't believe we've never eaten here before. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. We had Bruschetta as our appetizer; warm herb fuccacia bread with yummy puttanesca was served with our meal. We shared Rigatoni Piemontese and Ravioli all Formaggio with Alfredo sauce (add chicken). The price to add protein was pretty steep for the small portion. Overall, we were super happy and very full when we left. Next time, we'll skip the appetizer so we can have dessert. Our meal with 2 iced teas came to $75 before tip. More than we like to spend on dinner but considering all the increased prices these days not a surprise.

I'm just going to get straight to it, I'm half Italian and this place has not one single authentic Italian recipe in their food. I had the pasta seafood dish. First off, my food came out cold. It wasn't busy so why is my food coming out cold? The pasta was tasteless with water down pasta sauce, the sea food was rubbery and tasted like it was sitting there for days before given to me, definitely was not cooked with my dish, it had none of the dish flavor in it. I honestly could make this same dish at home way better than what they served me. Listen, I don't write bad reviews often and I'm not sorry to have to write one here because my stomach is not feeling well after eating at this place. Furthermore, I love downtown Martinez and I love supporting local businesses and restaurants but I will not be coming back here again.

My husband and I visited for the first time today around 1:30 to find just one other table seated. The service was good, food was fresh and the flavors of both of the pastas we tried were great. Would definitely recommend earlier in the day for a good lunch!

I’m not going to write about the service because I have a feeling the response to this will say it all, as the rest of negative reviews shows. I’m a big fan of supporting local business and this Italian restaurant invented to be in my list and be great! But sadly it disappointed me so fast, let’s say as fast as waking a block away with bad heartburn and stomach ache!!! I finished my food just because I was hungry, not because it was great! ( Also pricy food did t want waste) My pasta was warm but sauce was cold it was not juicy nor tasted unique. Very dry. My husband seafood pasta was cold, and very tasteless. Fast forward 4 hours later after use of pepto soda and water still having stomach ache.
