Florentino's

Walking down St Julian's Street towards the seafront, you'll spot Florentino's tucked into a quiet corner that locals have been quietly protecting for years. This is the kind of place where they know what they're doing with Italian food—no pretension, no Instagram theatrics, just the sort of cooking that makes you wonder why you'd bother with chain restaurants. The room has a relaxed warmth to it, filled with regulars who've clearly worked out this is where to come for proper risotto and handmade pasta. Service hits that sweet spot between attentive and unobtrusive.
