Florio

For my first review, I have chosen one of my now favorite restaurants in San Francisco, Florio! Although I lived about 5 blocks from this place last year, I was always a bit deterred by the small space and prices, but one I tried it, my mind was instantly changed. If you have had Italian food with me in the last 3 months, you probably know that I have developed a serious obsession with butternut squash ravioli. For some reason it's so difficult to find in stores, so I always feel like I should take advantage of getting it when I'm out to eat. Plus, it's just delicious. Florio has THE BEST Roasted Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage, Grana Padano & Buerre Noisette. I have never been inclined to use words like savory or mouth-watering, but both of those definitely apply to this dish. Perfect proportion and the sauce is to die for. Paired with their vast selection and variety of wines, and their knowledgeable wait staff, this place gets 5 stars. The ambiance is also pretty great. Located on a bustling part of Fillmore Street, the small, dark interior provides a good escape for a cozy meal.
