Read More On Citysearch Cynthia Lowry 7/11/2010 - Great gnocchi and warm service
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/1/2010 - Firenze By NightArguably the best italian food in North Beach. The staff are all super friendly and entertaining. I like sitting at the bar and listening to the bartender crack jokes. Gnocchi is next level, and they house cure select meats so if you're lucky enough get the wild boar and pasta

Gnocchi is unbelievable. The bruschetta is to die for and the wait staff is excellent. Ask for Sergio the owner he will sweep you off your feet. The pasta is great the veal is tender and the sauces are to die for. Try a lemonchello...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 9/22/2008 - authentic italianthe food was superb. Everything was bursting with flavour and the service was excellent. The only downfall was that even though we made reservations earlier in the day, we still had to wait 30 mins to get seated. Would definitely recommend this place to any outsiders looking for authentic italian.
Read More On Citysearch steller604 3/26/2008 - The best Pasta and atmosphereThe last reviewer must have been at a different restaurant, this place is great. No its not a fake accent, my husband has known most of these people for many years. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the City and we love all the waiters and Chris the bartender is a peach. Go and enjoy, you wont be sorry.

If you are looking for a place to enjoy a relaxing meal with family and friends, Firenze By Night is NOT it. We reserved the private back room for our extended family of about 25 people. Many of us had come from long distances to be together. Our reservations were for 6 P.M. Courses arrived and were removed so quickly there was hardly time to finish them. By 8:00 the waitstaff were literally t...
Read More On Citysearch live_2_eat 8/26/2007 - Great customer service, tasty Italian foodVery good gnochi and pastas. All staff was extremely friendly and courteous. Food service was prompt though other table service (beverage refills etc) could use some improvement. Space is limited just like other places in San Francisco. Definitely one of the gems in North Beach and would recommend it for a homey authentic Italian dinner.
Read More On Citysearch green101 6/24/2007 - Great Authentic Northern Italian FoodMy husband and I had a wonderful meal Friday night at Firenze. Our waiter, Sergio, was terrific and the food was outstanding. I had gnocchi and my husband had cannilonni. We shared the antipasto plate and enjoyed a fine chianti. The ambiance is relaxing, warm and friendly. The food authentic and delicious. Prices very reasonable. My family originates from Northern Italy so I grew up eating many...
Read More On Citysearch northbaywriters 5/13/2007 - Nice Italian RestaurantI was pleased but not specifically "wowed" by this Italian restaurant. I order the "award winning" gnocchi, which was tasty and came in a very good portion size. The restaurant itself is cozy and bustling with people talking a laughing: its seemed like it would be equally suitable to bring a date or a group of friends. The only thing I can really complain about is that although the service was...
Read More On Citysearch mushci 1/27/2007 - Best GnocciI love this place and go 2-3 times a month with friends. The food is great and Sergio makes you feel like family! The regulars get to know you as well and before you know it, everyone knows your name! The Cheers of North Beach!
Read More On Citysearch johnrreese 1/3/2007 - Authentic Italian, Wonderful ServiceWe love Firenze by Night! We stumbled onto it during a trip to SF a couple years ago & make a point to eat there every time we're back in SF. The food is absolutely amazing--simply prepared, quality ingredients, & authentic preparations. The service is always fantastic. The waiters make you feel at home & special and hover just enough to be attentive without being annoying. The ambiance is great ...
Read More On Citysearch aprendergast 9/5/2006 - My favorite!We live in North Beach and it's taken us 5 years to stumble upon this gem. It is the absolute best Italian in the neighborhood. Very authentic. The specials are always the best, but we have never had anything off of the menu that we didn't absolutely love. The service is great on Weekday evenings but you'll have to wait a while for a table on weekends after 8ish. However, we have had parties...
Read More On Citysearch jessicambay 5/4/2006 - Very goodMy friends have taken me there on 2 separate occasions. The food has always been good and we've always enjoyed the atmosphere. I don't usually like to go to SF but I will make an exception for this place.
Read More On Citysearch carrbear15 3/22/2006 - User review by dhrfamGreat food, great service(5 of us sitting down early-6:00PM-for dinner), good value and terrific ambience. We don't often go all the way to SF for just food and no view...but we will surely return to this fine place...just leave extra time to find parking(North Beach can be crowded and confusing for out-of-town drivers especially on a weekend night).
Read More On Citysearch dhrfam 2/20/2006 - Great placeFirenze is another one of those classic San Francisco Restaurants. They have been at the same location for many, many years. I try to get at least once a month. For a relatively good price you can have a very nice diner in a great neighborhood I agree with the other reviewer that the porcini mushroom risotto is an excellent dish and I think they also do a great job on the veal dishes. It?s really...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 2/9/2006 - Great food, service OKWe went for my dad's 60th birthday and wanted a place to accomodate 9 people. Although the place was on the small side, a large group can be accomodated. The entrees were very good, spinach salad was very small and ok, the mushroom appetizer was delicious. Overall, the service was ok, the staff was not very attentive, but was very knowledgeable about the food. I say check it out if you feel ...

Read More On Citysearch stellaluce1 8/24/2005 - FirenzeFrienze One of my favorite restaurants in the city. The food is great, the service is great and the prices are reasonable. You really feel like you are part of the family when you go to Firenze. There is plenty of old world charm and a really cute older Italian waiter who makes the experience complete. Try the porcini mushroom risotto; it is so so so good.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/14/2005 - Great restaurantThe food, service and hospitality is great. I definitely recommend this restaurant. I went there twice on my vacation to San Fran. Sergio and Fabio were great!
Read More On Citysearch laurie1031 3/23/2004 - Great ItalianBeen going here for years. First of all, understand that this is not a real foo-foo type of restaurant. Rather, it is good honest food, great value, great people, and consistent. Pastas are all excellent with the papparadelle with rabbit sauce as my favorite. Great place when seeking a solid meal without a bunch of hassle of some more "scene" type of restaurants.
Read More On Citysearch poulet_roti 1/21/2004 - It was great!!!This is real Italian food made by real Italians. I lived in Italy for a year and half and this is the best place to get good food and enjoy yourself in SF. I would and have recommended this place too everyone I know. The staff is excellent and makes you feel like you have stepped out of CA and into Italy.
Read More On Citysearch JZFZ0428 4/8/2003 - Loved It!!Cozy, friendly place with delicious food and great service!! Our waiter seemed to be right off the boat with a sweet accent, very friendly and helpful. The food was great, and very affordable. Felt like we were back in Italy!
Read More On Citysearch iffy 1/6/2003 - FANTASTIC !!!I've been dining here for years and love the food and service. No I do not work for the restaurant or own the restaurant. In fact, I don't even know the owners.
Read More On Citysearch 49erfan 8/21/2002 - Feels like familyI've been eating at Firenze for 8 years and am always treated like a member of the family. The waiters all know I don't want to hear about any specials with seafood in them, and they know which wines I like. The bartender even keeps a bottle of my favorite port on hand although it's a little harder to get now. The service and food have always been fantastic and I'll keep eating there as long as I...
Read More On Citysearch jenjensx 7/26/2002 - Horrible, horrible foodI think that all the reviews of this restaurant so far have been planted by the owners. My friend and I had dinner here tonight and the food was absolutely terrible. The gnocchi was in a terrible cream sauce, the veal was served pesto style (instead of with the basil leaves we were imagining) and everything about the meal was completely generic if not utterly substandard. I actually lost my ap...
