Fiorentina

A tip if you’re ever going to someone’s house for dinner and don’t have time to make a dessert: pick up a selection of tarts, mini cheesecakes, canollis and biscuits from Fiorentina and you’re praises will be sung far and wide. The range and quality of Italian treats here is superb. They’re tasteful on the eye and tasty on the lips. I know Italian families in Perth who vouch for this — a pretty high honour I’m sure you’d agree. The coffee is alright, not the best, but it does the trick alongside a profiterole or whatever treat you fancy. And the gelati is great, the pistachio in particular is something else.

A combination of a patisserie, a gelatierie and café it seems that Fiorentina may have bitten off more than they can chew. Thats not to say its all bad though as it isn’t. Some of the cakes are deliciously airy and fluffy. All of their cakes and pastries are made on the premises every day so you are guaranteed freshness.
The 3 stars is mostly due to lack of consistency.
It sits amongst many other popular Italian restaurants that see people stream in and out of their doors over the weekends. It is very difficult to compete with such established success and maybe Fiorentina just aren’t there yet.
Regardless their coffee is good and worth coming in to enjoy with a pastry but for now I will leave my customer status at that.
