" A charming little spot for a delicious Italian meal! We visited Florentine Cafe on a Friday evening. The bustling atmosphere added to the experience, and we really enjoyed our time there. I ordered the rigatoni, which was cooked perfectly, with a rich, savory sauce that tasted homemade. The portions were satisfying, and the prices were reasonable for the quality. The only downside was a slight mix-up with our drinks, but the staff handled it well. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high hopes for Florentine Cafe, my recent visit fell short. The ambiance was appealing, and the decor created a pleasant Italian vibe. Unfortunately, my lobster ravioli was overcooked, and I didn't appreciate it being served lukewarm. My friends enjoyed their dishes, however, which gave me some solace as they rated their meals highly. Service was friendly but somewhat inattentive throughout our meal. I might give them another shot, hoping for consistency next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Florentine Cafe last night with my wife, and it was a mixed experience. The restaurant's atmosphere was lively and bustling, perfect for a night out. I tried the lobster ravioli, which was flavorful and packed with lobster. My wife enjoyed her eggplant parmesan but found it slightly under-seasoned. Service was a tad slow as the place was packed. We spent a bit more than expected, but the authenticity of the dishes made it worth it. I would recommend going, but perhaps on a less busy evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! The Florentine Cafe was such a great find during our trip to Boston. The ambiance was charming, and the staff was friendly. I ordered the eggplant parm and it was cooked to perfection! The cheese was melty and rich, the sauce tangy, and the eggplant was crispy. Portions were generous, and we appreciated the complimentary bread and olive oil. A must-visit for Italian cuisine lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to Florentine Cafe, I found the food quite enjoyable! The marinara sauce was lovely, and the meatballs tasted homemade. The atmosphere was casual and bustling. However, during our meal, our server was a little too focused on larger tables, which left us needing to ask for attention multiple times. Despite this, I'd still recommend the place based on the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Florentine Cafe to celebrate my birthday and it was lovely. The food was simply delicious! We started with the bruschetta which was fresh and had a perfect crunch. For my main dish, I had the Chicken Marsala, which was divine! The chicken was tender, and the sauce had the perfect balance of flavors. The atmosphere was warm, with the sounds of clinking glasses and laughter adding to the experience. The server went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable night. A fantastic restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" Florentine Cafe is definitely worth checking out! I have been here on several occasions. The service is consistently good and the food is delicious. The calamari is crispy and flavorful, and I loved the fettuccine alfredo, which was creamy and rich. The atmosphere is very inviting, although it does get pretty busy on weekends. Always a fun experience nonetheless! " (*Curated Review*)
