Foodie Friday Florentina's Ristorante Italiano

  Its Foodie Friday, looking for some where to eat out at for lunch or dinner?
       Well if you feel like Italian, look no further than Florentina's.
  Located in the heart of Branson, right across from Dinosaur Canyon mini golf.   This restaurant has great atmosphere and consistently good wait staff. I have been going to Florentinsa's for several years and always leave happy.  They bring you fresh baked bread with olive oil and herbs, its so delicious.  They have some great options on their menu. Brick oven pizza, salads,  and tons of pasta options.  Some of our favorites are: Shrimp Alfredo, Penne ala vodka, garlic shrimp parmesan risotto, and baked ravioli.   The price is close to what you would pay at a Olive Garden or Red Lobster, but worth better taste.  The portions are very generous, I usually have more than enough to take home and have lunch the next day.  The only downside to this restaurant is that the best dish they had, they no longer serve.  It was called Basa Florinta and it was just mouth watering.  My whole family would go to dinner and half of us would order this dish, but for some reason they pulled it off the menu.  They now serve Pesce Florinta, which is the same dish but with "white fish" and its just not they same.  Luckily there are plenty of other wonderful options to try. Definitely a must try if you are in Branson.
