"We've been to Firenze before, and have never been disappointed in the slightest. The pastas are uniformly superb; accept guidance on the wine list and you'll be happy; don't even think of ordering until you hear what the nightly specials are. Bene!"

"Firenze's is a Microsoft favorite only 6 blocks from the main campus. The food is consistently excellent and the service is exceptionally friendly. The staff and particularly the owner treat you like family (or at least old friends) on repeat visits. The menu has a broad range of Italian food and I have yet to find any item they don't excel at. The owner is picky to the point of narcotic about what ingredients to use even down to the tomatoes in the caprice."

"My husband and I went out for dinner to celebrate my birthday. We absolutely loved the incredibly delicious food! My husband told me that it was the best dinner he ever had! I enjoyed every bite, as well. I do have a couple of complaints, however. We were never asked by the waiter if our entrees were satisfactory - they definitely were, but still... Also, while eating my entree, I drank alot of water (spice makes me thirsty)and my glass was nearly empty for quite awhile, but no one noticed until the bus boy came by, after we ordered dessert. He politely refilled my glass. Also, I had thought we were supposed to get separate desserts, but were given one slice of cake to share. "Restaurant Week" features 3 courses per order, correct?"

"The owner seems to be pretty impressed with himself...do I need to say more.As a result the food is lacking and unremarkable, I would pass on this one, to expensive for what you get."

"Had a great time here once again. Lamb was cooked to perfection and the gnocchi was great. Paired with a nice bottle of wine and we were set. Oh, thank you for the free birthday dessert!"
