About Florio's Italian

Our Story

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 dads 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.
