Everything from start to finish was excellent. Food was the best we have ever had. Came with our friend who is a regular (Gill) and will definitely be back soon.

Perfect service, food and wine. Absolutely a gem of Howden.

Last minute decision to meet friends in Howden who recommended cocktails in Romeo’s followed by pizza in Florena’s. ‘Best pizza in the whole of Yorkshire’ was their ambitious claim. Oh my days they weren’t wrong! The pizza base was the BEST - non-doughy with the perfect amount of bite and the topping was absolutely FULL. I left 3 pieces (which is unheard of for me!) which they happily placed in a take home box for me. My daughter is VERY coeliac and the utmost care was taken to ensure her GF pizza wasn’t contaminated. They even went to the trouble of baking her a GF garlic bread to go with the mixed platter we had as our starter.It wasn’t just the pizza that was great, this quaint little restaurant feels like it’s taken a little bit of Italy and placed it right here in the heart of Yorkshire. The ambience is perfect with Friday night energy at every rustic dimly lit table - all in full view of the incredible pizza oven (it’s massive!) Great wine, super friendly staff and that all important family feel you want from a traditional Italian restaurant. For get your big chains - THIS is a little bit of real Italy and the pizza really was the best in Yorkshire. A must if you’re anywhere near Howden and if you’re not hear Howden - it’s worth the drive there anyway! :0)Dietary restrictions: They went out of their way to cater for my coeliac daughter. It was so nice to see her pizza was the same size as everyone else’s (not the usual small, shop bought, cardboard that is served by most places) It was rustic, homemade, full of topping and was just as delicious as everyone else’s. Most importantly she didn’t feel like an inconvenience. They couldn’t have been more attentive.

The food is good and caters to a range of diets, including vegan. It is the only dairy free pizza our daughter has enjoyed since she was diagnosed with an intolerance 6 months ago. The staff are lovely and always go out of their way to accommodate us when we visit, from last minute bookings to special food requests. We are looking forward to visiting again soon.

Perfect!

Really nice pizza, but they got my order wrong twice. They did sort everything out at the end, but it seemed a bit strange that both the drink and the main course didn't reflect what I ordered.

Good food good prices and good

We had booked a table for 7:45 for two people, my friend wanted to extend the table to 3 for the evening. They explained they could not cater to this but could offer us a table next door in the cocktail area to which we agreed. We arrived at 7:35 and was told there was no table for us, we explained the situation and the young waitress explained we did have a take but it was currently occupied to which we didn’t mind as we was early. A further 20 minutes past and nobody came across to explain what was happening or even to take a drink order which caused us to promptly walk out. Nobody seemed interested in tending to us or explaining what was happening which is very disappointing l, really ruined the experience and let it down.

Lovely little Italian restaurant, limited space but accommodated us non the less, lovely service and food - only issue was a forgotten lasagna.

Is there a reason to visit Howden? Yes and it's called Florena's Pizza restaurant. Food very good. Calamari excellent and the four cheese pizza the best I have ever had. The pizza bases are just wonderful. Puddings, if you have room, are worth the calories. We visited on a Tuesday evening so unfortunately the Romeo's bar was closed. However the wine list seems to chosen with some care and our bottle if prosecco hit the spot.
Summary - a very good Italian restaurant in Howden. Food is fantastic but it’s a little pricey and the service is a bit hit and miss.We went there with a couple of friend for a table at 6pm and the first thing we were told was that it was needed back for 7:15pm. As we had booked this was a little strange.Service was good though food was a little slow and it’s fair to say that we were not finished by 7:15 pm though nothing was said. Food was really good. And I mean really good.

A wonderful evening at Florenas. Superb food and service! The pizza and our cheese platter was delicious! An authentic perfectly cooked pizza! Would highly recommend and would definitely visit again.
