Florentine Café Description:
Chatter and laughter ricochet off the brick walls at the Florentine Café and---in warm weather, at least---travel through the open picture windows straight onto Hanover Street. Up front, the long wooden bar is jammed with townies and tourists alike. In short, soak up the atmosphere---and maybe some quirky, girly but fun cocktails. The menu, however, proves pretty hit-or-miss, as an amalgam of rote standbys---caprese and Caesar salads, zuppa di pesce, veal Parmesan---and micromanaged creations like pork chops stuffed with spinach and smoked mozzarella in an orange-brandy sauce sprinkled with chopped dried fruits and pistachios (whew). We'd just as soon while away the afternoon here people-watching over decent sandwiches.
