    Chicken Milanese Salad  Mushroom Truffle Arancini Crispy Panini

    Everything was so tasty and fresh! such a cute atmosphere ! The staff is very friendly and don't get me started on the sweet treats ! Tons of gelato flavors and desserts. They also have wine and cocktails. If you are in the east boston area you must stop in!

    The food was absolutely delicious! The iced coffee was also delicious with cold foam!

    My friends had gotten them place as a recommendation. We arrived for an early dinner and found there to be mostly empty. But by the end of the meal, just about every table was full. Orders are placed at the register and they bring them to your table. We shared appetizers including the Mushroom arancini, and Caprese salad. Arancini was very smell but crispy and cheesy. We enjoyed the freshness and size of the caprese salad. For entrees we shared their Roma caprese panini, Primo panini, Florenza smash burger and Prosciutto & fig pizza in a full size which was more than enough food for a feast. My favorite was the pizza while the sandwiches were also tasty but a tad on the dry side. For dessert we got their Lemon berry mascarpone cake, Pistachio ricotta cake and Honey gelato. Everyone enjoyed their cakes but we found the gelato to resemble a prominent vanilla taste rather than honey. Overall, we have great experience. The staff were friendly and personable. Food was tasty and hearty (other than arancini). Would come again.

    This is a very cute cafe located right in the east end! I got the Caprese and pepperoni pizza. The pizza itself was very light and fluffy. The tomato was very fresh complimenting the cheese nicely. The pepperoni pizza was delicious. The hot honey was my favorite part. The service was pretty fast. They had plenty of seating but we decided to take the pizza and eat it by the harbor which was only a 5 min walk. I would love to come here again to try the pastries and gelato.

    Had the need one evening for pizza but wanted a good pizza if that makes sense. I avoided the recommendations. The hotel gave me for local places to get a pizza. I did a little research and came up with this place and I'm so glad I did. It would've cost too much to Uber there eat an Uber back so I opted to do Uber eats for the first time . I called this place and had a few questions in the gentleman answered. The phone was so very polite and extremely helpful. . I wish I would've visited the restaurant maybe next time . Let's just say the pizza is amazing full of flavor. The crust was done to perfection and it was rather fast on a delivery, which I was very impressed with for the first time using Uber eats .

    The gelato was so good! We ate it all before I could get a picture, but the tiramisu and lemon ice were great. There's some seating in the back and also a tv playing soccer if you wanted to get a drink and hang out.

    Solo Proper Pepperoni Pizza

    Was staying at a hotel near the Boston Airport and wanted some pizza to take back to my hotel. Ordered the proper pepperoni and it was delicious! Reasonably priced and really good. Highly recommend!

    Gelato sourced from Italy. Pistachio, chocolate/hazelnut and coconut have me in chokehold.

    UPDATE: Important fact about Florenza - the owner is adamant about clean and high quality ingredients. I was in the corner out of site reading a book one day during the slow break and heard him going in on a conversation about the quality of the ingredients and meats he must have to serve to his customers. It made me think...most any dough in the US causes my knees to hurt. I can happily eat my way through Europe with zero issues. I realized I eat at Florenza so much because it's good and I'm not in pain afterwards. I asked the owner about the flour and meats. They bake their dough with flour from Italy and the meats have NO NITRATES! Great food, amazing service, clean ingredients, modern vibe and chill ambiance...love this place. GO TO ORDERS: Florenza Italian panini, Funghi Solo pizza and the Eastie. My freezer is never without a pint of gelato.

    Great ambience and even better food. Had the chicken parm panini and would highly recommend. You can tell the bread is fresh baked.

    Service has a lot to be desired. They're rude and don't focus on customer service…read more We ended up walking out because they just gave attitude from the first words out of their mouth. I had my laptop and was NOT doing any work on it. I just had it with me and I wasn't even planning to do work on it. I was there to get coffee. They came up to me and gave me attitude over it and them not wanting screens. I was like okay but then they walked off and didn't take our orders. They saw us leaving and asked if we wanted anything. We said "No! I said we respected your wishes and never disrespected your policy but instead of taking our orders you gave us shit and walked off." They obviously don't want customers.

    Continues to be one of my favorite cocktail bars!!!!! The drinks are so good. We stopped in this…read morepast weekend and of course got the pistachio martinis. You really can't go wrong with them and they are a must try. I love the gelato in them, it really kicks them up a notch. I also got the espresso martini which was very very good too. Definitely a top 5 espresso martini. We also got an affogato and had baileys added to it- this was AMAZING! If you're into dessert drinks this is the best place for them. Sometimes you have to wait in line but once you're seated the service is great. The staff checks in often and is extremely helpful. This is a great date night or hang out spot, it has a very relaxed atmosphere and feels like a cafe. Highly recommend!

    I had seen this place on Rednote, and decided to give it a go at the time passing by. Overall, it…read morewas pretty good; the flavors were quite interesting, and the portions were generous. B3: One of their signature flavors, named for its blend of brown butter, brown sugar, and brownie. The ice cream was smooth and creamy, with the sweetness of the brown sugar and the nutty aroma of the brown butter blending harmoniously. Large chunks of brownie are interspersed throughout, their firm texture and slightly bitter dark chocolate contrasting beautifully with the ice cream, creating a layered effect. Deserving of the signature flavor! Earl Grey: Another signature flavor, but after tasting it for a while, I couldn't observe any tea flavor. I even wondered if the server had given me the wrong one The color didn't look like Earl Grey tea either. However, judging from the reviews, it probably does look like this. The milky flavor, though, was very rich. Burnt Caramel: It was my first time seeing "burnt caramel," which is essentially sugar caramelized to a higher temperature than caramel, resulting in a darker color and a richer, more intense bitterness. While I love bitterness, I felt it was a bit too much. Most importantly, the ice cream was noticeably stickier than the others, and the plastic scoop was too soft, making it difficult to scoop. Bourbon Street: Quite similar with B3, both using brown sugar and browned butter. However, the bourbon and praline made the overall flavor sweeter, lighter, and more in line with the classic creamy taste of ice cream. In other words, it was not as distinctive as the B3.

    New England make the most ice cream in the country and we tend to consume the most. That is a quick…read moreway to say that we know our ice cream really well. Toscanini happens to be one of the best ice cream shop in Cambridge and I really enjoy the different flavors they offer. My favorite in particular is B3 (Brown Sugar, Brown Butter, and Brownies) which you can get anywhere else. Sometimes, I choose another flavor that is unique to this shop such as Mango Sticky Rice. The ice cream is milkier than store brought and the flavors are true to the name. The micro is really small and I tend to get atleast a small or large depending on how much scoops I want. If you enjoy Ice Cream cakes or know someone that does, I really recommend preordering one for a birthday. Cute shop! Very happy that they return to their original location with a modern remodeling.
