  Grabbed take out as an out of town visitor- got a little scared when I pulled up to an empty restaurant on a Sunday night. Ordered the penne à la vodka (for a vegetarian) and chicken parm. First of all- the portions are MASSIVE! One entree can easily stuff two people full- maybe even three (or 2 + kid). The parm came on a huge bed of pasta with two whole breasts- and the vodka sauce was the best I’ve ever had in my LIFE! Pro tip- save the 2X DoorDash fee (it was $90 to DD, $45 to pick up) and make the drive if you wanna save some scratch. Absolutely delicious!

  La Florentina has become our go-to dinner out when we want a really nice Italian meal, friendly service, moderate prices and a relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. We did takeout pizza once and were not that impressed, but when we've had pizza, main dishes and salads right there it's all been spot-on and tasty. The portions are generous, too -- we often get a second meal from leftovers. I definitely encourage you to try them...I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised.

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This restaurant is an absolute gem! Their brick oven pizza is delicious, and the pasta dishes are always fresh and full of flavor. I’ve been here many times, and every visit is just as wonderful as the last. Lilian, , is warm and welcoming—she makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. Danny and Barbara are fantastic servers who always go above and beyond to make the experience great. If you’re looking for amazing food and even better hospitality, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

  Let's keep this simple .. we ordered 1 large cheese pizza (9/16/25 at 1700h) for takeout. We received a MEDIUM REHEATED thing, COLD to the touch, burned and charred. This was our first time trying La Florentina; only because it was named by WPDH as a "best pizza", in an article they posted. Clearly someone lied; and is lying. I recommend NEVER eating anything from this place; they butchered pizza, reheated it & charged us $30. Reheated. They reheated an OLD pizza. For a paying customer. Reheated. If you're looking for a GREAT pizza pie, go to Savona's Plaza Pizza, in the Hanaford plaza uptown Kingston. Their plain cheese and plain white are THE BEST PIZZA around & can give anyone a run for their money. La Florinta, you should be ashamed of your entire operation. We will never return, as you can't make a pizza. On a Tuesday. WPDH ... whoever tastes and reviews the pizzerias you mentioned, is flawed at the minimum and is offering a paid endorsement at the disservice to the community. Waste of money & time. **((Update 9/25/25))** To the management / owner, in response to your comment: I respectfully decline discussing this any further with you, I made everything CRYSTAL CLEAR & all times and receipts VERIFY EVERYTHING. You and your restaurant are UNABLE to keep a CLEAN kitchen, use FRESH ingredients and make a FRESH cheese pizza. You and your staff REUSE pizzas, don't know the first thing about pizza crust, wouldn't know tomato sauce if you were drowning in it & have ZERO ability to know what fresh cheese is. You even managed to burn a reheated pizza. BURN A REHEATED PIZZA. Let that process sink through your head. I wish you luck, it's obvious you need it. I suggest reevaluating your ownership of the restaurant. You clearly are in over your head and don't know ANYTHING about food service. I would've stayed quiet, but you couldnt handle the embarrassment of being such a FAILURE. You solicited this response, savor it. In closing, your restaurant is dirty, uses expired ingredients, reuses old food, SAVES old food to REUSE and OVERCHARGES for the aforementioned garbage. These are ALL management and owner faults, as you are the ones responsible. Pray no one else gets sick. Also, strong-arming me (or others) to call you and discuss this .. what's wrong with you? Your need for simple management training is eclipsed by your need to learn BASIC customer service. Lastly, I am not some child or social media influencer that you can buy with a free meal for a 5 star review ... it's clearly your business practice. Perhaps try eating some of the garbage your kitchen puts out and you'd see why the truth is so brutal.
