Florentine Trattoria

The Florentine Trattoria is one of our favorite restaurants and we eat meals here often.First of all, the place is lovely indoors and out. The outdoor seating is within a patio and not on the street. It is very peaceful and floriferous.The servers are excellent. They make us feel welcome and appreciated. We are never rushed and often enjoy a martini before dining.We have eaten just about everything on the menu! We especially enjoy the veal dishes. The Friday clam chowder is particularly delicious. And the salads are robust. I often order the eggplant parm... all the parm dishes are excellent. I have also greatly enjoyed the linguini with mussels or clams.And of course the house made bread with spicy cheese spread is very good always. Easy to fill up on!Leave room for the dessert! One that I enjov is the frozen limoncello, another is lemon sherbet served in a lemon! This dessert is actually flown in from Italy!The owner is from Calabria. If you enjoy eating Italian style like we do, we often order a pasta dish to split, followed by a meat dish to split.The restaurant is sparkling clean as is the restroom. Parking is on the street or in the free lot behind the restaurant. Enjoy!

this place has been around for as long as I can remember, they changed locations but they've been around for a long time, that doesn't happen without good reasonthe food is good, have no complaints about thatwould've left a better rating if they took care of this one thing...I always order takeout & have to check my order before I leave, every time, wouldn't bother with deliverythe reason I'm saying this is because if you're ordering delivery, it'll be too late to do anything aboutif they can pay more attn & do something to change this then I'll gladly change the review

A friend hosted her birthday dinner here in their private room off to the right of the dining room. This review is based on the set menu we had. Overall it was very good. I don't know that the staff handled our large party as well as they good but overall it was not bad. They were not very good about taking drink orders for those that did not want the pre-chosen wine. And the appetizer portions were very small for such a large group. The appetizers were the Calamari Fritti and Mozzarella Caprese. Both had good flavor. The calamari was nicely fried. I also had their House Green Salad. This was tasty. Liked the dressing on it. For my entree, I had the Veal Marsala. This was very tender veal. Had a good flavor and was a nice sized portion. Liked the side veggies and pasta with it. Also, their bread and cheesy spread is delicious. We did not get enough of that. Overall a nice meal.

Downtown Saratoga staple!Two of us ordered:-glass of sauvignon $13-florentine cobb salad $17.95, was charged another $0.75 for a different dressing since the vinaigrette was too salty-burrata $13.50, was good-1 large 6 piece bread $3.50The 1st round of bread is complimentary (2 slices each person I believe). I always love eating the bread here. Both orders of bread came out piping hot and it was delicious!Staff was friendly and attentive. Parking available in the back.

We really enjoyed having dinner at Florentine. We went there on a weekday so it wasn't crowded.The service and food was good. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers and entrees. It has a cozy feel and we definitely would go back.

Everyone in our party liked their food but the pasta fasul I was served was bland and disappointing. See photo below

This is what the minestrone soup looked like. It was so bland no vegetables except cabbage and maybe a tiny carrot. Just water downed tomato juice and some macaroni. I do not recommend this at all.I just called the restaurant and the gentleman was so apologetic. Offered me something the next time I come in. He appreciated the comment. He likes to hear from his customers. I'm glad I called.

Magnifico!! Came in after a hard days work with some co-workers, and was properly taken care of.Thanks for the great food and warm welcome.

Had a wonderful Valentine's Day Dinner here with my wife. They have reservations, but you have to find them on Google. Classic Italian restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. I'm not a Bay Area native, but my wife says there used to be more around the South Bay.

Florentine is our go to for good Italian food at a fair price. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Not as fancy as Il Fornaio, but they don't need to be, at a much more reasonable price point. Bon Appétit!
