When you’re craving authentic Italian cuisine, look no further than one of our favorite Branson Italian restaurants: Florentina’s Ristorante Italiano. Serving up generous portions of both traditional Italian dishes and exciting new favorites, this family-friendly spot is brimming with love, laughter, and, of course, mouthwatering food. Italians know how to feed a crowd, and whether you’re in town for a family reunion, a girls’ getaway, or just have a large group, Florentina’s is the perfect place to accommodate your party. Chances are, you’ll even have some delicious leftovers to take back to your Sunset Nightly Rentals vacation home!
Appetizers
Isn’t it funny how there’s always room for appetizers, even when you’re already anticipating your entree? Florentina’s offers some of the most tantalizing starters we’ve ever tasted! A fan favorite (and number one on our list) is the Nachos Italiano—a unique twist on a classic dish that we can’t get enough of. The crispy pasta chips (yes, pasta chips—how did we ever live without them?) are topped with rich Alfredo sauce, followed by a mix of house cheese blend, grilled chicken, Kalamata olives, pepperoncini, diced tomatoes, red onions, and a decadent balsamic reduction. These nachos are so good, we could easily make a meal out of them alone!
Main Dishes
Florentina’s menu is filled with so many irresistible options that it’s hard to narrow it down to just a few favorites, but here are some highlights you won’t want to miss. For a hearty, elegant dish, try the Pork Shank Osso Buco, featuring a rich tomato jam and balsamic reduction that’s sure to impress. Sometimes, though, it’s the simple dishes that truly shine, like the Lasagna Della Casa. With homemade pasta, a blend of house cheeses, spinach, garlic, fresh basil, and a meat sauce topped with Parmesan Alfredo, this lasagna is the comforting, satisfying meal you’ve been dreaming of. And for a classic with a twist, you absolutely have to try the Lobster Mac & Cheese—because what’s better than macaroni, cheeses, and lobster all in one delicious dish?
At Florentina’s Ristorante Italiano, you’ll find a perfect blend of tradition, innovation, and the warmth of family dining. Whether you’re enjoying a meal with loved ones or savoring a quiet night out, this Italian gem in Branson is a must-visit for any food lover!
