    We had another GREAT experience at Flor Fina this weekend. Mikey, as usual, is a fantastic server and took excellent care of us! The Pan-Seared Halibut was one of the best meals I have ever had! Highly recommend! We sat at the bar and had Alexis work some of her magical cocktails up for us! Also, I highly recommend it! It's such a great place with a great vibe and fantastic food!

    This by far one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area. I’m thankful for their food & service. Amber was our server & she was very attentive, knowledgeable & polite. The food was excellent, as being a vegetarian they were able to accommodate very well. Our only wish was due to us removing meat from our bruschetta board we wished they’d added more cheeses. However, food was delicious. We will be recommending to others & for sure going back. Thank you!

    Staff was excellent. We had half of our party stuck in an accident on I-75, they were gracious will adjusting our reservation. Once seated they allowed us to order for our companions before they arrived. We had tickets to the arena and they were very understanding and with all of the confusion that we caused the food was flawless. Cannot wait to visit again and enjoy it properly.
