The service and food are always exceptional. Our visiting friends from NY were thrilled that we made reservations at Floriana having eaten there with us in the past. Both ordered the beet salad and halibut and commented that it was one of the best meals they have had. Five stars to Floriana!

I was offered the option to wait 20 mins for a balcony seat, which I took and was glad I did. Our server Hannah was flawless- kind, helpful, attentive, and professional. She was knowledgeable about the menu and shared some details to add context. The bartender developed a very creative menu, and everything we ordered was delicious. We split the Brussels as an app, the burrata salad, and I had the tequila cocktail. I ordered the short rib entree and my husband ordered the bolognese. I wish one of us had tried the tortellini. For dessert the chocolate espresso mousse was lovely! Highly recommend this for a romantic date night spot.
