Not sure where to start but pizza here is mediocre at best. Their Margherita Pizza is questionable because when you think of margherita pizza you envision sliced mozzarella ball melted and then fresh basil (whole leaves) on the pizza, this was not the case. It was shredded mozzarella and diced tomato with cut up small pieces of basil. Their Florentine deluxe pizza is also okay. Outside of the pizzas the pastas were good. The calamari was quite small, not a great value. Crab cakes were good. The best thing we had was the steamed clams. Overall, I’d say give it a try but I’m not sure about going back anytime soon. Also, charging 22% (automatically) for a party of 6 or more is a bit much, I typically see 20% for some high end places or even 18%.

Stopped by this place for lunch enroute to castle rock state park. This is cute Italian restaurant that has indoor and outdoor seating. Their warm bread with spiced butter was irresistible. Started with the prawns sorrento ;prawns in lemon butter sauce. The sauce was creamy and paired well with the bread. For entree ordered the linguine Portofino and tagliatelle bolognese. Both were cooked well and tasted great. The portofino was slightly salty but generous with the crab meat.
The menu also has a wide variety of vegetarian pastas along with an extensive salad menu.
Overall great restaurant. A little on the pricey side

Authentic Italian food and friendly staff. We often use their private room for a small group up to 30 people. Located in part of quaint downtown Saratoga. There are outdoor dining tables too. After lunch, you can also walk around the charming town.

We had multiple family dinners while staying in Saratoga. This place is somewhat hidden between other restaurants, but definitely worth coming. Great pasta and pizza. Amazing service and everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

Staff was very attentive. Unfortunately, I was not too impressed with my meal. It was tasteless and bland. The bread served before the meal, though it was very yummy. Crab cakes were okay.

This little gem lives up to its name with a homey welcoming atmosphere, good service, and classic Italian food. It’s not fancy, but it’s quite comfortable and the food we had last Sunday night was quite good.

Been dining with Florentine’s for years and have never had a bad meal. Everything is always delicious and they are very accommodating to certain requests. (a family member is not a fan of tortellini and they kindly swap for linguine when requested) Extremely grateful for the delicious flavors and outstanding service…..and oh, as mentioned by many, their bread is the BEST!!!

This place used to be amazing. Had great pastas, salads and the bread with cheese sauce was next level. It must have new management or owners…the servings are tiny, spaghetti had very little sauce, meatballs were dry and flavorless. The bread is still good but they give you 1/10th of the cheese sauce they used to give you for a full round. After coming here for 20+ years I will no longer be coming back.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The restaurant is tucked back in a quaint spot just off the Main Street. Too bad it was raining or we could have sat outside. The bread they bring before dinner is phenomenal and it comes with a zesty spread. I could have made a meal off that alone! We ordered the baked lasagna and baked rigatoni – both delicious. The service was adequate but nothing special. Glad we tried this one out!

Came here on Sunday afternoon by word of mouth. We did not know this restaurant existed until then. We’re are glad that we were told about it. Upon entering Florentine Trattoria, we were greeted and seated. Drinks and food orders taken soon after.
Appetizers
Bread: hot, soft, fantastic
Crab cakes: great flavor
Stuffed Portobello Mushroom: cheesey and saucy, great flavor
Main course
Lasagna: would have liked a bigger portion but sauce and overall flavor was great
Half & Half: sauce needed a little bit of salt, but the veal ravioli flavor was great
Tagliatelle Bolognese: nice portion size and good flavor
Linguine Portofino: each bite was enjoyable, flavor was on point
Definitely a place to visit again, especially early on when they just open because it wasn’t busy and it was quiet.
