    We came to Florentina as a groop of 11 to have lunch. We got nice and quite tasty dishes which were refilled, as we asked. Home-made bread and gnocchi with white mushroom sauce were especially tasty.

    Was walking around neve tzedek earlier and needed a quick bite to eat. Great casual place for lunch. Highly recommend if you just need a place for a quick bite and to recover from a day of walking. We had the Labaneh, bread, eggplant, pizza and not shown was a salad.

    Okayish food in rather average ambience. The pasta (beetroot and sweet potatoe gnocchi and seabass were ordinary, the fish and chips rather good). We enjoyed the Israeli tapas platter which was good

    Some of the best food we’ve had in Israel! Gluten free options - including the risotto which was delicious! Kosher as well.

    Delicious, fresh, Italian food, delightful atmosphere, and good service. On top of that, surprisingly affordable. Would recommend this place in a heartbeat to anyone who loves dairy or Italian food and wants to hang out with friends and family and enjoy a lovely evening.

    Lovely place. We really had a good time eating there. The food was tasty and the service was excellent. The team made sure we will have a good time and also offered us with a free desert and shots.

    Food is indeed amazing. All was tasty and well prepared. Service can improve. Took them a long time to get our order. Also missed two items that only arrived after a reminder and by the end of the meal.

    I previously wrote a review about a negative experience that I had here, but I want to note that in response to this the review, the owner himself called me personally and investigated the situation. I am so impressed with this level attention to detail, things happen, plus new staff post-corona opening, so I have now changed my review from 2 to 3 stars and I will give this place a chance again after speaking to the owner. I hope to be able to change the review to 5 stars after trying it again. Thank you very much for your call and caring about your customers and their experience. :-)

    Second time I've been there. Still amazing. The food is a little bit on the pricey side, but you're not getting anything you'll regret. Its perfectly made, and tastes delicious. The service is wonderful, and none of the workers look like they hate their job/life. Atmosphere is very cozy, even when the place is fully packed. Overall wonderful place to go for a nice meal or a date

    Mouth-watering food in a unique, trendy setting. The vibe is great, as is the service. Highly recommend! We even met the owner, who was very friendly and hospitable giving us recommendations on places to go during our time in Tel Aviv.

    Excellent dinner. We enjoyed delicious hand made gnocchi and tortellini, fresh and savory sauteed mushroom dish in a cast iron pan, and zesty mojitos. Service was great and food arrived quickly. Music was a bit incongruent with the vibe but overall great place and highly recommend.

    The place itself is very nice, clean, plenty of room between tables. Even the tables and plates were decorative. Service was prompt and friendly. Music was low-key, dance-electronic The 'burnt eggplant ravioli' was "Wow" good, the pasta, filling and sauce going perfectly with the cheese and artichoke that came with it. The halumi salad was so-so, a bit sweet and not well enough cooked to our taste. Plenty more on the menu, there's sure to be something you'll like. Prices are very reasonable. We loved it.

    Hi. At the restaurant now. Enjoying the lovely atmosphere. We came as a group of eight, they sat us an elegant table made of tiles. The building is an old building with quaint features. The entrance way is with strong wooden beams and the walls are beautiful like they were 100 years ago. The food, dairy is an excellent example of mediterainian cuisine! The food is delicious and the service is prompt, helpful and non intrusive. Highly recommended for a light dinner either as a group or a couple!

    Delicious food and excellent service. Our party of 8 ordered a variety of beverages, appetizers, main dishes and desserts. Stand outs include the Watermelon-Melon Smoothie, the eggplant ravioli, the colorful gnocchi, the chocolate cake and churros. The staff was attentive and the setting was charming. Highly recommended !!

    It's an ok dairy kosher restaurant - it's busy and the crowd is young and loud, we had a pizza that was rather simple. Service staff seemed a bit overwhelmed as it was very busy.. Nevertheless a fun kosher restaurant in the midsts of the vibrant Florentine!!

  • 2/5 Danny R. 1 year ago on Google
    The only reason why I am giving this place 2 stars is because the decor and the actual restaurant is pretty cool with funky indoor and outdoor areas. As for the food and service, that's a whole different story. We had a "mezze" platter which was okay, but then while our table is very obviously still going through the food with minimal to no space, a waiter came by and "dropped off" two pizzas on top of everything without even attempting to clear any space. We had a mushroom and some other pizza and they were absolutely awful. you ask how awful? probably the worst pizza I have had in my adult life. Dr. Oetker pizzas will be classified as gourmet fine dining in comparison to this. We barely ate it. We also had the penne and gnocchi, which looked and tasted as if it came from a microwave dinner. As for the service and staff… even for Israel, this was something else. Couldn’t be bothered, are clueless, unprofessional, and just doing you a favour that they are there. One of the bar staff decided to have a quite long facetime conversation on speaker with a friend while sitting at the bar… for all patrons to experience. Not something I want to experience while having dinner and trying to have a conversation with people. Just shocking. It is very obvious that this google rating is well managed, but it couldn’t be any more misleading for a country like Israel where high google ratings are hard to come by, especially when it comes to food.

    Why have I only just discovered Florentina? Dinner on the patio was excellent. The kitchen's take on arancini exceeded expectations, as did the batata salad. Keep your fork and order the churros.

    Nice place to sit. Food was very disappointing. Fine appetizers but all entrees ordered by our party of 4 were badly seasoned and thought out. Even the salads!

  • 1/5 Tomer M. 2 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately this is one of the kosher restaurant in Florentin. The food was not tasty, fried and full of oil, expensive prices for value, and in each dish they put lettuce that would absorb their oil.

  • 2/5 Hillel de A. 1 year ago on Google
    Awful customer experience. They proposed me a table for 1 hour. 1 hour to eat, I don’t for for you, but when a place decide to kick you out from their restaurant after an hour just to grab your money, it shows how terrible is their service and how much they care about their client.

  • 5/5 Saul L. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent all around experience. Although Kosher, this restaurant attracts a wide variety of clientele. No wonder. Great food, decent prices, professional and courteous wait staff and great ambience. All in a hip, young neighborhood. Hint: if you have a group of 4 or more, order a lot of different dishes and share so you can taste more of their delicious cuisine.

    Very nice place The food was good nice risotto, great goat salad Found parking space on the street very easily

  • 4/5 Emily Schlussel M. 1 year ago on Google
    The patio is under renovation but indoors was a cool vibe. The Halloumi salad was my favorite. Four cheese pasta and eggplant ravioli we're good too. Didn't love the Forest pizza.

  • 1/5 Dalia H. 1 year ago on Google
    Ate here last week after lots of recommendations. Awful customer service and rude staff. The manageress lied to me when I asked for the owner. Not nice. The food was ok and very small portions for the price. Seats were very uncomfortable. Table was not level. Don’t understand how anyone could give it 5*’s. Never again!
