The Florentine in Sheffield

We had a party organised here and booked the private room. Staff were great, pizzas were lovely and the building is wonderful. Every had a great time.

Atmosphere warm and welcoming.Staff work as a team so the service is very good.Food is prepared to a high standard with care and attention to detail.Could not fault it at all.Had a wonderful evening.

Food half decent the wait is crazy long we asked when we arrived how long the wait was and was told 30 mins it took them a hour and 45 mins to get the food to us also had no pizza or turkey they also never apologies for the horrific delay I think they try keep you in longer to buy more drinks

1h45 wait and no warning of this We asked three times and never got a straight answer Food arrived like warm and some was inedible Everyone sat fed up waiting for food Will not be coming back again

Great service and very tasty food, as always! We love the healthy twists to the usual pub menu and the clear list of allergen for each food.

The food at The Florentine was fantastic—delicious food and great staff. Emily recommended me the seabass, which was amazing. Highly recommend!

Excellent stay for 2 nights. Julie, Ant and Sam could not of been more accommodating. Best customer service ever. Nothing too much trouble. Very clean rooms. Would recommend anyone to stay here.

Good food good serviced friendly staff

Excellent atmosphere, food and service. Slight downside was the long wait for starters but staff did make us aware on arrival.

This was a great place to eat and drink. Superb staff who could not do enough for you.

Beautiful place to enjoy the sun and relax the terrace was lovely and clean staff where lovely too will definitely be back on a sunny day

Very nice food and good experience

Warmly welcomed by the manager Julie set the tone for a wonderful evening. 4 Adults, one being 80 and two dogs - our 80year old visiting Sheffield said ti was a delicious meal in a warm friendly atmosphere and we totally agree ! Good to see The Florentine busy but staff still smiling and ever present. Cant wait to return for to try more things on the new menu ! Thank you Julie and Team - you are all blooming marvellous 🤩

Cold Sunday lunch, no stuffing or crackling. Didn’t get a check back for us to say anything. The team lacked customer service. Wouldn’t return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at The Florentine. Chelsea gave incredibly friendly and attentive service, nothing was too much trouble! The food was excellent and we are looking forward to our next visit.

Staff were very friendly, food is overpriced and portions are very small. Soft drinks are extortionate! £8.20 for two glasses of Pepsi!

I had a lovely experience, the food was very good quality and great portion sizes. Waiting times weren’t too long and atmosphere inside the restaurant was extremely enjoyable.

We were warmly welcomed and shown to our small room. Even though our table was booked for 7.00 we did take a little while to order our food. 10 minutes after we had placed our order we were told that our food would be at least 40 minutes and I estimate that it was actually longer than that. We didn't receive our food until 8.45 which some people found late to be eating. The restaurant was busy when we arrived but by the time we place our order it was not busy and we thought that this was too long wait for food in these circumstances. My fish and chip meal was OK. I would consider that the fish was overcooked and that there was a very small portion of mushy peas (the cheapest part of the meal). The chips were very good. Service was good.

We booked a table for 7.15 and didn’t receive our mains until 9pm once received they where then wrong. The service was lovely but they did not communicate with us on how long the food was taking to come out, it seemed a comment theme throughout the restaurant. Having one member of staff serving a very large section of the restaurant made timings very slow. We didn’t eat our mains and just left, will not be returning which is a shame as it is such a beautiful pub. With it being valentines weekend and so late we could not get a reservation elsewhere and ended up having to go home. Very disappointed

Los platos principales fueron muy buenos, especialmente el asado dominical. Dos de nosotros comimos el mismo dulce que fue decepcionante "crumble de manzana y cereza". Las natillas eran preciosas, pero el bol de pudín contenía una mayoría de frutas de color rojo que realmente no sabían a ninguna fruta en particular y ciertamente no tenían ningún 'ponche' de sabor a cereza. La cobertura era una capa extremadamente delgada de lo que parecían migas de galleta / papilla desde el fondo de un recipiente. Esto no parecía que se hubiera horneado como un plato completo y ciertamente no se parecía al crumble. Era un día muy frío, así que había una corriente fría en el restaurante. El personal de servicio (teníamos al menos 5 ) era agradable y servicial, pero parecía un poco estirado, ya que esperamos mucho tiempo a que las bebidas se les diera la oportunidad de solicitar la factura. Nos beneficiamos de una promoción local del 30% de descuento en las comidas principales que suavizaron la mala relación calidad-precio del dulce. Volvería a visitar para probar uno de los otros principales, pero no me molestaré con un dulce por miedo a la decepción.

Excellent! We had a lovely meal, good quality & served hot with great presentation. Staff were fab - we were made very welcome & well looked after. Got the impression they all got on well, were happy in their job & genuinely wanted us to enjoy our visit. We really enjoyed it & will definitely be coming back 😊

Lovely venue in Ranmoor (the most affluent suburb in the city). Bar service could be a little more attentive but the food and atmosphere is always great. Haven’t stayed at the hotel but my parents have and say the rooms are lovely. Make sure you ask for a room facing towards the car park as otherwise you may get one at the back with a limited view.

Stayed out for valentines night with my husband the room.was very nice and comfortable. We have the three course set menu my husband had the steak that was cooked prefect. Prefect night and a great breakfast this morning. All staff was very polite. We will definitely be back.

I have been visiting this restaurant for almost 12 years now and I can say the service is progressively getting worse. the staff have always been great and friendly and The food is good if you’re prepared to wait 2 hours for a meal. It’s a shame there used to be too many staff now just one per section. I can understand slow relaxed service but this isn’t that. Won’t be returning

Nice food and good atmosphere, a really nice evening, will definitely be visiting again soon.

Stopped 2 nights Had evening meal day 1 Attended wake day 2 and breakfast Fair price, nice room Staff very friendly. Food good. Great building

It didn't seem like the Florentine we used to go to . The tables were full of empty glasses and crockery my husband had to take is lager back it was flat, waiting a long time to get served even though there was only one other person in the queue. Standards are not the same

Went on Sunday evening. Disappointed that there was no roast beef available. Also no pizzas available. Food was good - I had the roast - very nice but could have done with more vegetables.

Sunday lunch. Excellent Turkey Sunday roast. Plenty of food very tasty. Service from Georgia was very good and very helpfull. Will definitely return.

Vine a probar el menú Nuevo y no decepcionó. . ¡La rabadilla de cordero con el mini pastel estaba fuera de este mundo! El servicio en el restaurante era genial. . nos atendieron Steve y James. No puedo esperar a volver y probar algo más en el menú.

Lovely service by Georgia, thanks so much. Food was delicious as always.

Lovely food & atmosphere, our waitress was Georgia & she was lovely & very helpful.

The amazing staff at the Florentine came to our rescue after a run of bad luck meant we were let down by the original venue for our little one's much awaited birthday party. Despite our plea being very last minute, they kindly let us host in the private dining area. The staff were exceptionally helpful and kind, and the room was set up perfectly for a small party. There is ample parking space, and the whole venue worked perfectly. We are so grateful to the staff for helping making our little one's birthday party a reality, and highly recommend anyone looking for a venue to host a party to consider the Florentine! Thank you so much!

This is our regular hangout on a Saturday morning, great coffee and breakfast. Lovely service especially the wonderful Julie.

Excellent service from Steve and great food. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place.

We walked up to the Florentine for a meal partly for Pat's birthday. Pat had a soft drink and I had some wine. The drinks were excellent and the food was good-we chose from the lunch menu. I like the interior of the Florentine and the service was friendly and efficient. Most enjoyable

A relaxed and comfortable place with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. Emily looked after us very well. We enjoyed the food which, with 30% off mains, was good value.

Great food as always, the Sunday roast is delicious.

Great food and superb service too.

Steve was really helpful, he was informative about gluten free options and let us know that there might be a delay due to staff sickness in the kitchen however the food arrived quickly. Would definitely return, thanks :)

This hotel restaurant is truly amazing, attention to detail everywhere you look, room was well appointed, clean and had everything we needed. Evening meal was perfect, service spot on and food tasted great! Cannot recommend The Florentine enough if you’re staying in the area. Far superior to more run of the mill hotels!

AVOID THIS HOTEL - Checked out within an hour of arrival Hotel could not provide our booked room and so put us in a cheaper rate room without informing us either before arrival or at check in. When we queried it (showing them pictures the room we were in online) they said it was actually now more expensive to stay in that so we couldn’t be refunded. Staff and manager could not have been less interested in resolving it, we had to get Expedia involved and the hotel then complained to us about that! The manager then told us she would waive our first night fee due to quick check out…I lack words for that. Extremely dishonest behaviour. Aside from the rude staff, the room was dirty (large mud stains across the carpet) and sealed windows with fur on them. Bathroom was absolutely freezing and had 1 towel. Hotel is a lot more run down and dated than pictures suggest. We have never complained at a hotel before and have never left one before, but we felt so strongly about how awful this hotel was.

Fantastic evening celebrating our friends baby shower. Staff were very helpful, friendly and attentive. Buffet was delicious and plenty of choice for our group. We were grateful for the extra room for our food to be served and the private room we used was perfect for our party. Thank you very much to all the team.

Lovely evening, despite the snowy weather, with quick and efficient service from our waitress, Georgia.

Had a great night … Georgia was super attentive the whole time we where there, nice place and relaxed atmosphere Highly recommended

Friendly welcome and good food, served in a relaxed environment and at a relaxed speed

Great food, atmosphere and service

Great service, lovely atmosphere but food was very underwhelming, sweet potato and chickpea curry was bland and watered down and the naan bread did not taste fresh and for the price you pay, disappointing. The female toilets also had an unpleasant smell.

We enjoyed our lunch.The service was good. Lovely fresh fish + crisp chips with decent tartare sauce and fresh peas, a delicious dessert all of which were sensible portion sizes ending with a very good cappuccino. For the quality the meal was very good value especially as we ate in a light airy restaurant with mullioned windows, tall ceilings and at a table that overlooked the snowy garden. The only niggle was that snow and ice still covered the car park and there wasn’t a a cleared pathway from the car park ( one of us uses a walking stick) to the restaurant so we drove to the front of the building but the area below the steps and the main drive had still not been thoroughly cleared making it hazardous for guests. Get out the spades otherwise your satisfied diners might come a cropper!

Great new years eve meal,great price,great friendly staff

Big open pub, with a good selection of foo

Visited today as the closest place to our Air BnB and looked pretty smart. Firstly I’ll say, it was pretty busy as we walked in, which we took it as a great sign. A few rowdy drinkers, but we managed to find a table but there were a fair few empty glasses (must have just been vacated!) my wife took a seat and once I was served at the bar, I made the bartender aware & he was a gem - took a second to pop out and sorted the table for us! As former hospo, it was greatly appreciated! We asked for recommendations on the menu, which were kindly given & we looked over the offerings. We finally chose and ordered with the same bartender - turns out he’s one of the managers! Introduced himself as Ant and to let him know how my steak was! He remembered our drinks order as I waited the third time, despite being quite busy! Overall the food was decent but honestly felt very looked after which made the visit. We have a busy weekend, but will visit before we leave to catch Ant & buy him a beer!

Lovely meal today, New Years Day 2025 Friendy staff.

Haven’t heard great reviews about the food beforehand, but decided to give it another try. Such a long wait on the food, pizza was cold, messed up a kids order and never received the second order of chips bear in mind the place wasn’t busy. Also, payment was taken on order which I don’t agree with.

Been to the florentine many times and have enjoyed it each time I’ve visited! Violet was our server today and she was really welcoming, hospitable and a lovely server!

We called ahead after visiting another local establishment which was full. We wanted to sit down after a lovely walk at Rivelin Valley and enjoy food and a drink for 5 adults and 4 children. We were welcomed by friendly staff and offered a private side room which was perfect for the youngest children to roam whilst we were sat down. Due to the warm welcome we all ordered main meals as opposed to nibbles, a mixture of burgers, steak and pizzas. Everyone enjoyed their food. The atmosphere was lovely and we would definitely visit again if we went for another local walk!

We have our family Christmas eve breakfast here every year and it's always been wonderful. Great communication when booking and sending preorders, fabulous service and excellent food. Our group seems to get bigger each year. 27 this year! Thank you again

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The service was polite and efficient. For my meal, I ordered the roast turkey, which was fine, however nothing special. The crumble for dessert was nice and a good finish to the meal. Overall, the meal was good but it didn’t quite stand out in any major way. If you’re looking for a simple, no-fuss meal, Florentine is a good choice, but don’t expect anything too special. I’d say it’s a solid option if you're in the area.

Have just had the best Christmas Day dinner we have ever had in our lives at The Florentine. We have eaten out several times over the years on Christmas Day and have never had such an exceptional Christmas Day dinner, or in fact, such a delicious roast anywhere else on any day in the year. We had both vegetarian and roast beef options on our table and both were equally impressive. The flavours of every single dish were absolutely incredible! The flavours from the carrots to the gravy, yorkshire puddings and main course came alive in your mouth. Whoever has sourced the ingredients has found the highest quality and it absolutely shows. The cooking and preparation of the food was gorgeous and the Christmas pudding was delicate yet flavourful, with a combination of vanilla, red currants and brandy all popping in your mouth. Even the Pinot Grigio on the drinks menu was impeccably chosen. The side dishes were very generous portion sizes, too. No skimping. Absolutely quality service and food at every stage. The mains and desserts were particularly brilliant. Steve and Violet served us and were both really lovely. We were in the last sitting so a hard part of the day for the waiting team and yet they were very warm, friendly and efficient, without being over the top or too pushy. Both were very on it without making you feel rushed at all. The manager was lovely too and obviously cared about both his customers and staff a lot. Genuine and heartfelt compliments to the chef, waiting staff and all the cooking team and anyone involved in creating the menu and food for such delicious dishes! I have never been so enthusiastic after a meal!

Florentine was a great choice for a family meal just before Christmas. The food was good and Steve the waiter was fantastic. I'd go back

Always a wonderful experience. Friends and family stay here when visiting too. Beautiful rooms and wonderful staff. Always make us feel special and valued. Thank you. Xxxx

Great staff and food. Very friendly family atmosphere

Very nice setting and a well looked after restaurant. The food surpassed expectations, all 8 of us really enjoyed our meals. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. It was sufficiently busy for there to be an atmosphere but we could all hear each other really well. Would definitely go back and happily recommend. Thank you.

Brilliant service, gorgeous food

We came as a group of 17. The service was amazing - Emily in particular was great.

We had a private party in one of the small rooms. A really lovely Christmas meal. An excellent festive menu, huge portions of beautifully cooked tasty food, attentive, efficient and friendly staff and all at a very reasonable price. A good choice of beers, wines and other drinks too. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Thanks Steve and Tom for a cracking Christmas dinner!

Came here for our twins first birthday and had a little gathering. It was wonderful, the staff were amazingly tentative and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend this place and we will certainly be returning to try out the pizzas.

Family celebration for twins 1st birthday. All the staff were friendly and helpful. In particular the 2 young ladies, Rads and Violet, who looked after our needs for the afternoon.

Birthday celebrations for 15 people in the function room. Friendly staff,food came in same time,lamb shank was falling off the bone,steaks great and fish and chips big portions! Only the mash potato hard,and Sunday roast was a small portion for my fried,who is a big ,fit lad,he was a bit disappointed . The children enjoyed their meals, It was a great atmosphere,calm music,tv for the kids in the function room,and it was warm and cosy! Thank you for your service,I'd book again! Have a nice Christmas,Roberta!

Excellent in all respects! Recommended.

Had a lovely meal here. Tom and Steve were very welcoming and accommodating and helped me navigate the menu taking into account an allergy. Portions good and nicely presented. Service excellent, thank you for a lovely evening! Will certainly be back.

3 stars given as overall everything was very average at not so average price. Nothing particularly bad about the food or service except my husbands steak was very tough. We've had very similar food at one of the hungry horse chains that was just a good at a fraction of the price. Don't mind paying the price but would have just expected a little more for the money.

Friendly, helpful staff serving good food. Always a pleasure to visit the florentine.

Ant and James served us this evening with excellent customer service and a smile on their faces! Tom poured us some excellent wines and Mia was extremely helpful 😁 We will definitely be returning 💃🏼

Great atmosphere and service from the whole team! Ant, James, Mia and Tom were all super helpful and couldn’t do enough to help! Will deffo be returning :)

Had a fantastic afternoon, we were very well looked after by Chelsea. Service with a smile and great food ☺️

fantastic service by violet today

Great food and amazing especially from Radhana

Lovely place for food and a drink.

Booked here for the 2 course Christmas Fayre menu. First visit. Food was excellent no complaints whatsoever tho waited a long while for the starters to come out

Violet was very attentive, great service, thank you so much! Would recommend :)

Radhana was fantastic! Lovely food and nice atmosphere!

it was really really lovely, good veggie options, Violet was great!

We had a great Christmas dinner here, so festive and food was great. Also, Violet was such a lovely hostess and really made our night special!

Really lovely experience ! Thanks Radhana and Violet for the exceptional service !

A normal 'pub' with standard food at a reasonable price. Loses a bit of atmosphere because of the high ceiling.

Disappointing Sunday lunch. Staff and surroundings were really nice, the food was tasty but the portions were extremely stingy. My pork was a few wafer thin strips that barely amounted to a mouthful and my mum's turkey was a couple of meagre slices that brought to mind what poor Mrs Cratchit would have served before Scrooge was visited by his 3 ghosts. A sign of the times perhaps but I don't think we'll be back.

What a wonderful environment, with fantastic and friendly staff. Emily and Violet served us with warmth and smiles - thank you for lovely service! My only constructive feedback is that a child-free area would be nice. There were a lot of families with young children running around and screaming a lot, which would have been nice to be away from, rather than next to. Maybe that’s something you can look at? Thanks again.

First visit after a recommendation, which was very appreciated as the food, venue, and service were great. Our server, Violet, was helpful and attentive. She recommended the caramel tart, which was delicious! Will definitely be coming back for more 🙂

Steve provided excellent service to us and our little girl. Highly recommend the chicken and chorizo kebab!

Really enjoyed the lunch time meal. Very tasty food, great quantity without sacrificing quality. Steve was a phenomenal server and really sweet with our 2 year old and accommodated us brilliantly.

Wonderful meal with a lovely atmosphere. We were served by Chelsea and Emily who were attentive but unobtrusive, all of the staff were really friendly and ensured we had a great experience. We would love to come back!

Very nice place with pleasant and helpful staff. Good food Great pizza made out of wood-burning oven

Great food and great company thanks to Violet and Emily

First time eating here and it was great. We were served my Emily and Violet and they were very attentive, smiley and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back

The food was great and the staff, especially Emily and Violet, couldn't be more helpful.

Beautiful venue, delicious food, superb service - Emily & Violet looked after us brilliantly!

Mia was great. Very polite, attentive and cheerful.

Good size carpark, it's on a slope though and there are big steps to get to the reception. Check in is at the reception on the side of the bar. All information given A couple of flights of stairs to get to the room. The room itself is a good size, the shower room was on the snug size! Bed is super comfortable Wifi excellent The shower was hot and powerful. Evening meal was excellent, a bit of a wait as they were quite busy. Breakfast is not included but could be added if wanted. The location is set on the edge of the city close to the university. Would definitely stay again when in the area.
