- LLaurieVIPChicago / Illinois •94 reviews5.0Dined on 28 Dec 2024Food was excellent! Scott was a very attentive server! Both Scott and his colleague Andrew Spence (who seated us and made great wine suggestions), were highly knowledgeable about the menu and we enjoyed speaking with them. It was a lovely evening and we’d definitely return. The truffle gnocchi, meatball appetizer, salmon, scallops, and filet were all outstanding!More infoThe FlorentinePrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown / Loop•4.4
- KKimSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined on 24 Dec 2024Love Prosecco. Neighborhood restaurant that makes dining feel like special event. Bread is fresh and warm served with fresh olive oil and olive tampa ade. We had the delicious bufala appetizer and special was shrimp appeti34 cooked perfectly. My daughter ordered the carbonara and side of asparagus, my husband the fettuccini al granchi and I had the tartufate which is my usual dish that I cannot get enough of (truffle, mushroom, asparagus, sun dried tomatoes) We come often. Meals and ambience always perfect. Easy for conversation. Excellent service and food is divineMore infoProseccoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.5
