Florinos Pizza & Bar

Every bite taste freshly made…

If you’re old like me, at 10:00 on a Saturday night in downtown Reading, walking into any bar on Penn Street might be associated with a certain stigma. One that might walk the lines of dark, dirty, and maybe even scary or just – not for you. But during a recent random visit to Florino’s Pizza & Bar, I couldn’t find any of that being any further then the truth.

Everything about this place has been hit with a sense of love that can only come from pride in ownership. Owned and operated by Florin and his wife, Angie, one can only imagine the amazing heights their personal relationship has achieved if it mirrors anything like what they’ve done with the place and the food here – as “love” is clearly at its center.

I was encouraged to try the cheesesteak which in my opinion is easily the best cheesesteak I’ve had ever. The bread is made fresh I’m told and you can taste it in every mouthwatering bite. The crisp flakey crunch of the crust is light and the dough just melts in your mouth. The meat is hardy and not overly greasy, the sauce in clever blended in with the steak and the cheese and when you marry all of that with the fried onions and extras you’re left with something you just know you don’t have time to replicate in your home kitchen.

Florin is the kind of guy that let me taste of a few of the wings as well. Something he clearly can’t do for every patron but let me just say they are worth it as well. Perfectly seasoned, a nice bite to them, and delicious through and through.

The bar itself is clean, surprisingly clean and updated. The sandy browns and rustic colors scream old Italy to me and invite you to venture back deep into the bar where things open up to a dance area complete with Titan Tron lighting, a sound system your smartphone can sync into, and every bars must have – a very nice pool table.

I highly recommend everyone making Florino’s they’re new hang out spot. But if you don’t, I wouldn’t be mad at all – as that will be just more elbow room for me!

Haven't tried the food but seems like a nice enough spot also Florian the owner is pretty cool

Awesome place. It's kind of for everyone. If you're loud it's for you if you like to go and sit and just have a beer and enjoy some quiet it can be for you. The owner flo, is one of the nicest men I've ever met. He's very genuine, he treats his staff well, which in turn means his staff is very pleasant. I go in there with my service dog to get takeout sometimes, and I've never had a bad experience.

Very inexpensive a quick get away. Usually quick service. I just had the food this year of 2020 of February and it was amazing the burger taste like it came off of a grill I felt like I had a burger from longhorn very good cooked exactly the way the way I wanted and the service was so friendly.

The staff is very nice and accommodating. The food is just spectacular. Five star restaurant.

The owner is a Rumanian-Italian. He worked at The Roman Colliseum. They make the pizza in brick oven. So delicious.
