Firenze Trattoria is proud to proclaim that it is having its 15th anniversary celebration. For the entire month of March, diners will be able to enjoy an assorted wine menu for $15 per bottle. In addition, some of Firenze’s most popular entrees can be ordered and enjoyed by patrons for $15.00 each, making March the month to come and experience Firenze.

After 15 years in the restaurant business, we know that our patrons have come to expect no less from the finest dining experience in San Diego. They know that we hold to the firm belief that life is a party, and to fully enjoy life you must mangiare bene, eat well and bere bene, drink well.

The finest San Diego Italian restaurant, like a fine wine, has only gotten better with age, and you should come, celebrate with Firenze, and share in what is truly a dining delight.

To add to the numerous awards that this fine San Diego Italian Restaurant has received, its own diners have voted Firenze Trattoria onto the Diners’ Choice list. The list is generated by diners who book a table at a restaurant through OpenTable and who are counted as seated at the restaurant.

Diners are then emailed, and they are asked to complete a Dining Feedback Form about eating at and other aspects of the restaurant where they dined. OpenTable then uses diner-submitted forms to generate a list of the top local restaurants, and Firenze Trattoria is now on this list.

Our thanks ago out to our fine, professional staff, whose service, care, food handling, preparation, skills and experience is second to none. Our thanks also go out to the patrons who took the time out to complete the form. They have let other diners know what they can expect should they choose to dine with us.

When you choose to dine at Firenze Trattoria, you can expect highly-qualified, skillfully trained and professional service, which is courteous and friendly at the same time. You can also expect gourmet-style Italian food, prepared with the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients available.

As our great patrons have come to find out, our San Diego restaurant offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience that tantalizes your senses and pleases your palate. Our Diners’ Choice list award is a testament that we will please even the most demanding food connoisseur and exceed the highest expectations.

Pay us a visit and take part in this award-winning experience that is Firenze Trattoria, San Diego’s finest Italian restaurant.
