"Florio is a grounded, Italian-leaning San Francisco bistro that sticks to fundamentals done well. The Steak au Poivre was our anchor dish and comes with a brandy peppercorn sauce that delivers on pepper and depth not cream. The olive oil cake was excellent and closed out the meal without any heaviness. The room is warm, service is steady. Reliable, classic, and worth returning."

"Nice atmosphere and attentive server, somewhat surly host. Had wanted to stop in for months. Chicken Milanese special was decent not great somewhat dry breaded and reasonable in size and quantity but average in taste quality. The killer was the Romain salad, which was probably 2 ounces of Romain lettuce with some cheese, sprinkled on top and three croutons for $16. That felt like we were being taken to the bank. Wines by the glass were of decent quality, and we own a wine bar so we’re very much aware but small in size probably around 4 ounces a pour though there were at least a few selections to choose from by the Glass, which was a nice plus."

"My friend and I felt immediately comfortable in Florio Bar & Cafe. This welcoming restaurant is nicely appointed. The Brussel Sprouts were exceptional. The Fresh Roasted Eggplant and Goat Cheese Ravioli boasted complex flavors that scintillated the palate. The service and presentation of each dish was perfect. Oh, and the dessert we shared, an Olive Oil cake, (not pictured) was delicious. I look forward to returning to this restaurant. Update from recent visit on a Saturday night: The food and service is still top notch, but wow, the restaurant ambient noise sure is loud on a Saturday night!"

"5 stars for everything. We booked a reservation online for a group of 7 night before Saturday dinner. We were pleasantly surprised to be seated in a private dining area, which made the dinner special. The food tasted like it was made with care. The service was wonderful too."

"Excellent food, attentive service and great atmosphere, can’t wait to go back!"
