Florio Bar & Cafe

I came here for a birthday dinner and it was my first time at this place. It's located on Fillmore street so there's several retail stores, other restaurants, and coffee shops nearby. Parking can be tough in this area. The restaurant sat us in a private room in the back. It's a table for 6-7. There was a heavy dark red curtain that enclosed the room. Our waiter was wonderful. I ended up ordering the Eggplant Parmesan. Unfortunately, I thought it was ok. I've had better elsewhere. The eggplant was cooked a little too much. I had trouble cutting it into little pieces because the skin was a little tough and the eggplant was drier than I would've liked; however, It was tasty still and I finished it. I thought it was a little pricey but everything is these days. I would come back again and maybe try the halibut or the spinach ravioli. Those were my other options. Some of my friends got that and they said it was delicious. I will probably order that next time I come back. It was pretty packed so if you can make a reservation, I would highly recommend that.

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. The indignant bartender who thinks he's better than you sets the tone for a TERRIBLE experience. Fillmore has so many great spots that treat you well that you should skip this place. Seriously, to be talked to like I'm a teenager sitting at a bar is ridiculous. GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!!

Loved the papardelle pasta and the watermelon salad was pretty tasty too! This place is perfect for a weeknight dinner and the service was great!

Very delicious food with limited outdoor seating, ample indoor seating. The osso buco was delicious as was the chicken. The pasta is freshly made and very tender and delicious. The stuffed squash blossoms were so tasty I didn't manage to get a picture before we ate them!

I don't understand why the reviews are so low. We had an amazing time there. Great spot, the food was very good, the service was fast and friendly. The barman John is beyond friendly. You should definitely try it out. I had steak frites and the chocolate desert. Home made. Super good

We stopped in for drinks at Florio and were charmed by the neighborhood friendliness. Everyone was nice and down to earth, not like the usual San Fran smugness. The menu looked wonderful, and I wished we dined here rather than the fancy place up the street where our reservation was. I wish Florio was opened for lunch, but we'll go back for apps tonight before we meet friends for dinner.

One word: Horrible.Ambiance? What ambiance. They got an old snobby host who looks like he hates his life.Overall: 0/5 stars :)

Great neighborhood spot for food and wine. Staff is always friendly and accommodating, never making me feel weird when I want a table when dining alone (a lot of places say oh well the bar is open...)

Very cool small bar and restaurant. Busy but not too busy. Eclectic menu.I had the asparagus "salad" and lasagna. Basically the asparagus was a vegetable sidedish. Crunchy...salad-like. But great flavor. I added a side of balsamic.Lasagna was so "gourmet". Small. Great presentation. Tasted yummy tho. 5 layers of homemade pasta, but meaty. It's not very cheesy. Ricotta and parm was a light layer on top. Being from NY, I was craving a big cheesy piece of 'zag! Not happening.Apple crisp for dessert with Gelato. Apple sauce with stale oatmeal crumb topping. Disappointing.Salad, lasagna and dessert $53.

This is an ideal neighborhood restaurant... dark, cozy, good food and service from long time employees. Would be packed all the time if millennial yuppies didn't have bad taste
