   Florio is an all time favorite. Excellent food, warm ambience and attentive service. Perfect Christmas season dinner.

   My husband and I are Florio regulars for several reasons: * The service — including Jamie the bartender, Josh and Peter the servers, and David the host — are always on their ‘A’ game. We feel well taken care of when we dine here. My husband has trouble walking due to Parkinson’s, and the staff here is always ready to help us get to our table. * The food — never had a mediocre or bad dish here. The parpadelle, lasagna (not currently on the menu), hanger steak, roasted crispy chicken and cacio e Pepe are particular favorites. The desserts are excellent as well, including the olive oil cake and caramel gelato. * The drinks — though I’m not a regular martini drinker, I love the Florio martini. It’s delicious. Florio offers a well-curated wine list, too. * The ambience — sophisticated and casual. Lighting is at just the right level. Not too low so you can’t read the menu, not too bright where you feel like you’re at a chain restaurant. For total transparency, we have no business or family ties to Florio. We’re not friends with anyone who works here or anyone who owns or manages the restaurant. In other words: We have nothing to gain from posting a glowing review. I just like to recognize good people doing a great job.

   We love this place for many reasons. We always get the boulibasse, and it's the best in the Bay Area...until this time. 😩 This time there was grit in all our mussels except for 2 (out of 10 between the two of us). Not good. But worse is that the rouille lacked all saffron, which basically makes this dish, and in the past separated Florio from the rest of the players. We were sadly disappointed.

   When we’re in the Fillmore area, we always dine at Florio. It is such a charming and cozy neighborhood gem. The food is always well prepared and the service spot on. The small bar is quite the hub and always delivers perfect cocktails and wine. Florio is one of our top favorites restaurants anywhere!

   I had the Bouillabaisse—always fine. This time the soup base was particularly tasty.

   Cannot say enough good things about the place. Atmosphere was quiet enough for a conversation, the burger was cooked to perfection (I like it very rare), and the drinks were awesome. John and David are fantastic, and the experience was amazing overall. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good restaurant in the area.

   I thought the roast chicken was too heavy on salt. Otherwise the food was all very good.

   Great food and service. Been there many times and will be going back. Steak Frites are my standard selection and these are some of the best in the city.

   Florio is the neighborhood restaurant we all wish we had in our neighborhood. Good food, prepared well, well seasoned, served by professional wait staff who are generally pretty on the ball. Cocktails and interesting wines are very good. The menu has some old standards and some newer twists on things, but consistently delivers a lovely dining experience.

    Want to try another time here. Food was good. Seems like a place for regulars.
