FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS (June 15th, 2013)

Picture
Paul:  We took my dad to Taverna Fiorentina for a Fathers Day dinner on Saturday night (instead of Sunday, so it wouldn’t be so crowded).

The decor was very dark.  It was cool because it had a bar and two dining rooms.  They had wine bottles on the wall.  The two rooms were separated by a curtain and steps.  It was an open kitchen so you could see what different people were ordering when the waiters took it out. The only kids were Sam and me.  

We got two appetizers for our table.  We got the eggplant parmesan and the caprese. (I love caprese!) The caprese was stacked like a tower.  I said it was the “Leaning Tower of Caprese”  because it slightly leaned. The mozzarella on the caprese was awesome!  The eggplant came out super-hot, but it cooled down pretty quick.  I loved it.

I ordered the Gnocchi di Ricotta.  It was very good!  It had gnocchi, shrimp, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes.  The zucchini was fresh and tasty.  The shrimp was very big and tender.  The gnocchi was light for a gnocchi, which is normally pretty heavy. I loved it!  I would recommend getting it; although, there are many other great options on the menu.  (And don’t forget to look at the specials, because they are very tasty.  My dad got the special lamb and said it was awesome.)

The server’s name was “Joe”, which is my dad’s name!  He gave really good recommendations.  He told my dad a really good wine to get with his lamb.  There was a bar code on the wine bottle and he let my dad scan it with his iPhone.  It told him where he could buy it in the future.  He came back on a regular basis to check on us and see if we were OK.   Joe was great.

I almost forgot about dessert. Me, Sam, and mom got the chocolate mousse. It was creamy and very thick. I liked it. It was very good.

I recommend this restaurant. 

Sam:  I really liked my spaghetti and meatballs.  I almost had my whole thing but I didn’t because it was too much.  I wanted to have it for leftovers because it was really good and I wanted it again.  I really liked the bread.  I liked my chocolate mousse dessert, too.
