The Vibe – A really fancy place, circa 1970. This is due mainly to the Mediterranean art on the walls: painstakingly rendered bowls of fruit; the sea, as viewed through wooden frames made to resemble windows. The restaurant is large and somewhat noisy, with a bar up front and huge tables in the back for large parties. You can bring your kids here. – – The Food – The menu has many variations on the combination of pasta, sauce and cheese. Add veal, and it's veal parmigiana. Pork and capicolla make Pasta Antonio. This works because the noodles are chewy and…
Editor's Tips
- Don't Miss:
- The Roman bread appetizer, topped with butter, garlic, hot peppers, tomatoes, olives and gorgonzola cheese.
- On the Lighter Side:
- If you're counting calories, try the lemon broiled cod. If you're not, check out the jumbo fried shrimp or breaded Atlantic whitefish.
- Classics:
- If you like chicken livers, you can order them fried with bacon and marinara sauce.

BAD SECURITY
by 90deluder at Citysearch
I was there with my girlfriend and our daughter having dinner with family before we drove back down to florida the next day. After dinner we go outside to find our car had been broken into from the parking lot our stereo, cds and expensive shoes were stolen. When we made the staff aware of what had happened they told their security guard who talked very briefly with my girlfriend and then walked away and never came back for a report or anything. The staff didnt have anything to say about the incident at all. We were even parked in a lighted area. They do have security but of no use as when he was told that i was inside he said "I Know" and never came to find me. Avoid

Authentic Italian
by Redrover01 at Citysearch
I went here on a date, and after moving from an over lit table we settled in for a great dinner. I had the Chicken Paramigiana and my date had the Chicken Marsala.
Both were excellent tasting but my date mentioned that she was expecting some pasta or rice with her Chicken Marsala. It was basically a chicken breast in a sauce with nothing to grab the sauce with once the chicken breast was consumed.
I felt my Chicken Paramigiana was quite tastey, but the pasta sauce was not as good as the homemade pasta sauce my lovely date made me just a week earlier. Hers was the best I've ever had.
Nevertheless, we enjoyed our date, liked the atmosphere, and felt we were eating a truly authentic Italian meal.
I would definately go back!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Good eats,

- Pros: Freshly prepared, great taste, good portion sizes

A true Gem!
by bootscoot007 at Citysearch
Tucked in to the Franklinton near west side lies the home of truly great Italian food. The Florentine has been a favorite of mine and my family for as long as I can remember. In fact, I cut my teeth on their breadsticks! Go safe and get Spaghetti, or sample any of the other wonderful items off their menu. A decent wine list compliments the meal and their desserts are well worth saving room for. If I could, I would give the Florentine 10 stars!
- Pros: Too many to list!
- Cons: Seating can sometimes go quick, but the service and food make up for any wait.
