Franklin's Best Kept Secret
The menu tempts you with seafood, steak, veal, chicken or pasta. Each dish is better than the next. I enjoyed the twin filet mignon and my guest had chicken with broccoli and pasta in alfredo sauce. The server was friendly and accomodating. Prices were reasonable and the function room is roomy and comfortable.    [02 Jun 2003 11:21:18]

A Secret That Should Be Kept
The restaurant is doing surprisingly well in spite of a lackluster menu, marginal service at best, and antics that can only be described as disgusting. Servers cursing and throwing things at one another, all in ear and sight shot of the customers. I can't remember ever seeing a display so immature. Dining should be drama-free for the customer and dinner a delight. We tried Florentina 5 separate occasions and did not find this to be even an average dining experience.    [06 Jan 2004 08:26:07]

Love It
Have been to the Florentina numerous times recently - exceptional food and service each visit. The menu is lengthy and has a variety of specials. True Italian food. Desserts are divine.    [19 Jan 2004 12:57:24]

Did Not Live Up to Expectation
Have been there twice and both times received substandard service and entrees. Their portions are small and their prices are high. The menu is uninspired and the specials simply aren't.    [09 Mar 2004 15:10:04]

Absolutely the Best
This is one of the best Italian restaurant I have been to in the Franklin Area. Food is fantastic no matter what your taste. The menu has so many things to choose from and only the anti Italian food lovers would have a problem.

I love the pasta dishes and the appetizers are fantastic. If you are on the Atkins diet, ask for the Calamari appetizer sauteed with no batter. Tender as can be and delicious.    [20 Mar 2004 16:23:42]

Italian Food Lovers Won't Settle
I frequent restaurants in the North End of Boston and when I ventured into Florentina I was amazed that they call the place Italian. The dishes are loosely Italian, but more Americanized than anything. They are so-so at best. The service is non-professional. Some are better than others but you can't take a person off the street in the morning, give them an apron and expect them to know the etiquette and customs. The prices are way too high for a 1 star joint.    [12 Jan 2005 11:57:27]
