Firenze - Italian restaurant in Oakdale - 502 N Yosemite Ave, USA

We were traveling through and looking for a nicer place to eat. Nicely done, we didn't have reservations so we ended up in the bar although the place wasn't busy at all around dinner time, it looked like a mostly local crowd. I got their signature dish, rolled chicken with blue cheese and it was good but the mashed potatoes were better, the grilled vegetables good also.

First time dining here, we had reservations for 1:00 and we were seated at early arrival. The interior decorations look like an Italian villa and was tastefully decorated. All of the tables were filled with customers and within the two hours we dined there wasn’t an empty table. There are a lot of choices on the menu, chicken , seafood, lamb, steak and different pastas and ravioli. A nice variety of Italian appetizers also. The homemade rolls were very good and served with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, butter and the server asked if we would like chopped garlic. (Yum). The small salad was big enough for sharing, the shrimp pasta in vodka cream sauce was a large portion as well as the shrimp pasta pomodoro and spinach salad entree. The server was very friendly and attentive given the busy dining room. A little noisy due to all the conversations and the interior having staggered rooms, but definitely will be dining here again. We travel 35 minutes from home and it it is worth it!

This place is amazing! The food is spectacular and has flavors that are spot on! Their house bread is delicious and they also offer fresh garlic with it. I ordered Chicken Fettuccine with Alfredo sauce. I loved it! For my beverage, I had a Diet Pepsi. I also had their complementary water. The service here is really good. There were a lot of us in our group.

Please hire a new cook. The service was good, attentive and respectful. The food was hot garbage. I spent over 100 dollars there, the kids pushed the food around, I ate as much of my calzone as I could, but my fiance did not eat her food at all, eventually we had to get the food to go, and then we actually just tossed it, it was not very good at all. However, The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. I’d like to go and just sit in there once in a while. But it needs better food. It would be the hottest spot in town with better food. And cheaper prices. It has the placement, design and appeal and service of a really nice high end restaurant but the food literally kills the whole experience. The only thing that was actually really good was the bread and the bruschetta. Other than that I feel like Gordon Ramsay would say “bloody hell man!!”

Definitely 6/5 stars. 1st time dining here. Stopped by after our trip to Yosemite. Best Italian food we've ever had. Jared was our over attentive server for the night and he was simply amazing along with all the others servers who also stopped by constantly to check in. I had a spicy cowboy martini and it was just a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Dinner was as fresh as it could be and portions were gigantic. Enjoyed every bite and had lots of leftovers as well.

Came here for my dad's birthday, there were 8 of us and they set up a table for us. Warm bread with olive oil and vinegar, garlic optional. We had rolled chicken and gnocchi gorgonzolla chicken, food was delicious. Others at our table had pesto chicken sandwich, fish-n-chips, margherita pizza, spaghetti and meatballs. Everyone enjoyed their meal, fish was lightly battered. Pizza was a little disappointing but overall it was an enjoyable birthday meal. Prices were a bit on the high side. They even brought ice cream and sang happy birthday to the guest of honor.

Came in for a birthday celebration. The restaurant was clean in the dining area. We had rolled chicken and gnocchi gorgonzola chicken. Both dishes were good. Sauce on rolled chicken was good, but veggies were served al dente. Other dishes served to party were meatballs and spaghetti Margherita pizza. I'm not sure I would recommend the pizza. I felt it was very simple, like a snack or appetizer. Everything else was good. The picture of my rolled chicken shows I started to cut into it before I took the picture. Our server was very nice and served fresh hot bread with minced garlic. On the table was oil and balsamic vinegar. Birthday boy was given ice cream 🍦 😋

Wonderful spot. Stopped for a late lunch on the way to the Sierras. Fresh garlic with the bread, perfect spicy chicken sandwich, those lightly battered fries, delicious mushrooms in the fettuccini, crisp buttery pizza crust, and excellent service. Loved it.
