At first impression this looked wonderful, the menu was very appealing and the staff quite amicable and cheerful upon our arrival. We started with Bruschetta, which was excellent (maybe even the best i've had), however from then on everything went down hill. The following portions were exaggeratedly small for their price and weren't even anything special. The service started to... More

Visiting Melbourne and wanting a special meal we chose Florentinos, you really step into another world for a few hours.The wine list was like a small bible. The food was ,how can I decide...

The food was delicious for our pre-theatre sitting was just perfect. The staff were really friendly and efficient and to actually see Guy Grossi delivering dishes and clearing tables a bonus. He was even very happy to have his photo taken with me.

We had previously dined at the Hellenic Republic the night before and had high expectations about Florentino.

As I sat down in the "Grill"(the downstairs restaurant) there was quiet a buzz. I must admit that I had read some previous reviews and that lead me to have some preconceived ideas. Well let me tell u that was furtherest from the truth. The reality was that my palate was given an explosion of flavours that surprised me and... More

dining at Florentino is for the big occasion be it with an important business associate or celebrating a birthday or anniversary. Recently refurbished, the dining room on the first floor is intimate, private and classy. Request for a table by the stained glass windows. Had a 2 course set lunch which in my case included baked tripe au gratin with... More

Hi Thank you for your recent review on Grossi Florentino Upstairs. I'm glad you enjoyed the impecable service and the food. It is important to note that the 2 course tasting menu comes with complimentary bottled water and two interim courses (therefore 4 course). This may seem better value for 65 dollars per person. Let us know the next time... More

I love going out for dinner where you can have a giggle with the staff. The service was top notch - all that you would expect from this quality restaurant. We had 2 tables for about 16 people and we were all impressed with our meals. And of course the ambience makes the experience memorable too. Thanks in particular to... More

As out of towners who had heard of this restaurant, we had dinner here. The upstairs wood panelled dining area was just the right ambience for what was to be a memorable experience.
