At Florio's Italian, We believe that the key to a great meal is using fresh ingredients, traditional southern Italian recipes, and a passion for cooking. Our journey began in 1987 in a small Italian restaurant on Sheffield & Armitage in Chicago, cooking recipes my sister and I learned growing up Italian from my mother who learned from her mother and my dad's mother one was from Bari and the other from Cosenza. Today, Florio's Italian continues to bring the flavors of these two regions of Italy to your plate.We look forward to serving you soon!
