Incredible! Our favorites were: -the steak special, perfectly cooked with a delicious chimichurri; -the ahi tuna, spicy and served with plantain chips which was unique and delicious; -artichoke queso fundido, literally the best cheese dip we’ve ever had; and -the sorbet margarita, a margarita flavored sorbet topped with a shot of patron that blended perfectly to create a creamy margarita that was absolutely perfect for a hot day. Highly recommend to anyone and can’t wait to come back!

Forcella is one of our go to spots and we absolutely love it from the food and service to the ambience and their new patio! We were especially grateful when they were able to squeeze us in last minute on the patio even though our reservation was for inside!

Absolutely love the Florentine Cafe. Food and service are great. Plus - especially if you can get a table near the windows - it’s a great place to people watch if that’s your thing.
