"...cozy neighborhood bistro", the "perfect " perch...for dinner ZAGAT

  • Classic French Bistro Fare
  • Italian Specialties
  • Small but savvy wine list

Classic French Bistro and Italian specialties comprise our menu.

"For some time I had been thinking about opening a small cafe and bar where eating and drinking is not an event. In fact, a sort of 'anti-restaurant' without the high concept and relentless planning it takes to get a table at a big, downtown restaurant. I imagined a warm neighborhood place where poeple come and go before or after a movie or the theater, for instance. One should be able to eat in an hour yet stay for several with friends. Pretty simple food---crispy roast chicken, and good frites. A little (but not much) music playing on the stereo, a good bottle of Syrah and a decent smile from the server."

Editorial Review for Florio – by Marcia Gagliardi

In Short
This neighborhood gem draws an eclectic range of in-the-know customers, from Pacific Heights nuclear families tucked into the back banquette to gay couples dining at the bustling front bar. Tiled and hardwood floors, oxblood and chamois walls, milk glass light fixtures, and white-jacketed waiters darting in between closely packed tables build a Parisian effect. A seasonal menu highlights fresh ingredients and classic presentations.

User Reviews for Florio

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

After having a great experience at Treat (accross the street), they recommended we try Florio for dinner. We got in for a 7:45 dinner and really had great time. We enjoyed good conversation with regulars at the bar while we waited for our table. We had the steak and frites for two and is was fabulous. I am glad we ventured to Fillmore on Saturday. We had such a great experience all around.

Pros: Great steaks and fries, good atmostphere, really friendly bartender

Good fries and okay physical plant. Nothing special here. Why go here? Well, the service is less indifferent than it is at Chez Nous, a couple doors down.
