Florence by the Water brings iconic Tuscan dishes — the Fiorentina steak, handmade pastas, wood-fired pizza, seasonal specialties — to a relaxed, elegant room at the heart of downtown Los Angeles.

Crafted by the visionary team behind L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele and inspired by owner Francesco Zimone’s Italian homeland, the space is designed for an evening that feels like home.
