Simply, the best chicken parm I have ever had. DO NOT SKIP THIS DISH. The cannoli cake was PERFECT. Probably the best cake I’ve ever eaten. However, the cannoli was stale - seemed to be sitting out for a while. Very cool vibe. Spacey and fun concept. You order at the bar and they bring it out to you. Could be for a date night but also for a casual meet up. Great for large parties as well. I will be back!

From start to finish, this place feels like one of the hidden gems Mooresville needed. It’s close enough to Main Street to still feel connected to downtown, but creatively tucked into one of the old mill buildings in a way that makes it feel like its own little escape. The food was delicious, the environment was beautiful, and the whole experience felt thoughtful and memorable. This is easily our new favorite spot.

Florence was an absolute treat. The inside is stunning, truly one of the most beautiful spaces I’ve been to. The cannoli cake was hands down the best I’ve ever had it has to be a family recipe. Even my friend who never eats salads ended up devouring his. The owner came by and suggested pairing my cake with vanilla ice cream… and wow, that took it to another level. So good. The grounds are just as beautiful with a peaceful pond that makes the whole experience feel special. Perfect for a date or bringing your family. I’m visiting from California and this place was such a highlight of my trip.

Went to the soft opening of this restaurant. It was amazing. Yes, they had a temporary menu, but they had my all time favorite, Chilean Sea Bass. You have a choice of creamy fettuccine or salad to go with it. I chose the salad. The Sea Bass was cooked to perfection and the arugula salad was the perfect side with the shaved parmesan. My husband had the salmon with arugula salad. I tasted his salmon and was not disappointed. We bought desserts to go. I'm glad we did. They all looked amazingly delicious and making a decision was difficult. We settled on Tiramisu, Chocolate Mouse pie, and cannoli. I took two forkfuls of tiramisu. I could have easily devoured the whole piece, it was that good, but I promised it to my husband. I had the chocolate mouse pie. It was so light and creamy. The perfect dessert to go with the perfect dinner. I can't wait for the official opening October 7th. I look forward to seeing the final menu and tasting more deliciousness. They were putting the finishing touches on the landscaping, but what they had completed was charming. I love the ambiance. When I rate a restaurant the ambiance is equally important as the menu. Florence Wine and Beer Garden has it all. I rate it a 10+.

Loved it! Our second time there, we had chicken parm and lasagna with an appropriate bottle of Banfi! I came back for the tiramisu and it is by far the best you’ll have - coming from a spoiled New Yorker, it’s truly a must have! Great atmosphere and perfect for small or large groups! My only recommendation to the owner is get espresso and cappuccino! As a customer it won’t stop me from coming back but would have loved a nice espresso to have with that fantastic tiramisu. Definitely come here, no disappointments, just smiles and great team for a great meal, recommend and can’t wait for warm weather to sit outside!
