La Fiorentina - Punta Gorda

We had a fabulous fillet mignon and seafood risotto dinner. I highly recommend going to this restaurant. Great food, great staff and great music. One of the best restaurants in Punta Gorda!

I loved everything about the decor, the music, the ambience, the server.... Then the food came out and I thought I died and went to heaven! My friend and I ordered the same as the salmon with framed spinach and polnta. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the cream sauce with capers above was incredible! The cream spinach was perfect and absolutely the best polnta I've ever tasted! We also shared a huge meatball that was so delicious and covered with a perfect Bolognese sauce. I can't wait to come back and try something else!

There were 5 of us celebrating a birthday, although we have reservations for 6 but one canceled. We all came 10-15 minutes before our reservation thru Open Table, but we were all sitting immediately. The food was excellent, but a bit expensive, atmosphere was fine, we had a new waitress (that's all the answers, but immediately found out for us), but she wasn't an inexperienced waitress because she was excellent. We share appetizers: Caprese Salad, Carpaccio Arancine, who were all delicious... all plentiful for the 5 of us, especially the Caprese Salad. I had Osso Bucco w/Grilled Veggies, which was delicious, others had Salmon Francesca, Lasagna, Chicken Parmigiana Chicken Piccatta.... everyone had enjoyed their meals. Then they brought a beautiful little chocotae birthday cake with white frosting a candle on the top that was included with our meal, each of us had a just piece and the birthday lady had to take about half of it home.

First our server was great. I have to start writing server names so I can remember when I evaluate. But we had a reservation from 6:00 on Monday night (10/30) and had the wide table, as in a small room for themselves, somehow. Next, the food. It was incredible. Every article we ordered was delicious. I tasted all the appetizers and entrees. I had the spaghetti Carbonara, and it was shocked full of meat, was so delicious. I need to be happy tonight. Good bread, with wonderful garlic herbal tea diving oil. Men loved their shells. Osso Bucco meat was very delicate and the tomato sauce was thick, dark red and full of taste. Even our wine was good. We will return and I have already recommended it to others.

I took my husband there for his birthday. We were not disappointed. From the appetizers to the dessert everything was delicious. I ordered seafood risotto and my husband ordered lobster ravioli. The presentation was wonderful and the food was even better. I could not eat all my dinner so took some of it home the portions were good size. The waiter was very attentive, friendly and talkative. He answered any of our questions. It is a little pricey but overall it was well worth it. We will go back again.
