Great Neighborhood Spot / Great Food!

by mesteves

If there's a spot, I like to eat at the bar. Dining room is somewhat small and cramped. Don't know much about wait staff in dining room.

Food is great. Best bolognes in town. Great steak frites. Awsome hambuger ("Le Hamburger"), served open face on a grilled french bread, with grilled onions (other ingredients change peridodically).

Wine list is nice, and wines by the glass can also be ordered in 2.5 glass caraffs.

Bar gets filled with people waiting for a table at another restaurant a couple of doors down. I tell them that the food is better at Florio.

• Pros: Top notch food. Nice bar.
• Cons: Dining room is small and cramped.

Great Steak Frits & Neighborhood bistro! Server? ..not so good

by brooke_s_1218

A great neighborhood bistro with charm! The host was very pleasant, as was the food (the salad was amazing and the steak frits were better than I have had in a while). The duck was just average. Now, our waiter on the other hand (mid forties, bald, glasses) was very unfriendly, did not tell us the specials and seemed almost put off we were there (note: we overheard him giving the specials to others next to us?). The poor service almost makes me not want to return to such an otherwise charming little place...

• Pros: Great steak frits and wonderful euro-bistro ambiance
• Cons: the server we had was extremely unfriendly

Unfriendly waiter

by Enchantee

Very impersonal service from one of the waiters. I don't remember his name but he was chubby, mid-forties, bald and with spectacles on. He did not offer the specials of the day although he "only" did to the table next to us because they were "regulars", he did not come back at any time to ask if everything was ok with the meal and after we paid the bill, there was never a thank you, have a good night nor a F*** You!!!

Besides that it was the worst cappucino ever...no kidding, the worst cappucino I've ever had in my whole life...having cappucinos all over the world! Oh and besides that the desert was the smallest portion of a chocolate tort I have ever seen...it was barely one bite....and a tiny little one...no kidding! I understand that it is not supposed to be a 1 pound desert but c'mon, that was outrageously ridiculous!!!!
