Food Party @ Caffe Firenzo
Saturday, November 28, 2015
So... I was surprised when I received an invitation for a food tasting at Caffe Firenzo, and I was even giddy when I was told that the place has now a whole different look and concept. Of course, I immediately said yes!
You'll be greeted by this cute chalk board menu at the entrance. So cute!
Ali and I arrived first, so while waiting for the others, Ms. Kate talked something about Caffe Firenzo and its interior. We also went around to take some pictures.
My eyes caught this beautiful jar. If stealing isn't a crime, I'd steal that jar. For real. Hahaha. I really like the concept of this infused water in a jar thing. And it really looks cute on their counter top.
When I saw this area, I immediately pictured myself sitting on those comfy chairs reading a book while having my coffee.
I'm in love with this area! Their al-fresco is surrounded with plants. And sitting there was like i'm just sitting in my very own porch surrounded by plants and fresh air. It's very relaxing and homey despite being located in the heart of the city.
There are tons of food selections and one of their specialties are the Native Chicken Fried Adobo and the Tuna Palikpik. I think my favorite dishes are the native chicken fried adobo and the chicken teriyaki. I've also tasted their chicken skin during my 2nd visit and I must say it tastes heavenly!
*Chicken skin is life next to pizza!*
I've tried their blue berry iced tea, it's a bit sweet for my taste but it's good. Their frappes also tastes good! What can I say, everything is beyond delicious!
RATINGS
The Place: ★★★★★
It's 5 stars cos I love everything about the place! It is located in the heart of the city which is a plus, it's easy to find and near the malls. What I love most is the cozy/homey and garden feels of the cafe, I felt really relaxed when I set foot in that place.
The Food: ★★★★★
The food was superb! Beyond amazing I must say. Everything was delicious especially Native Chicken Fried Adobo and Chicken Teriyaki.

I noticed that the prices are a bit higher compared before. Not that budget friendly for students and minimum salary earners. Maybe it's just the kuripot in me talking. But I think everything nowadays are much expensive compared a year or 2 ago. Hahaha. All in all, I think the prices are worth it with regards to the taste of every every dishes.
The Services: ★★★★☆
The Services: ★★★★☆
I'm the kind of person who's very picky with restaurants and coffee shops, believe me if I say that the "service" is a big factor. Who would want to go back to a cafe with rude employees or crew, right? And I love how nice and accommodating the crew in Caffe Firenzo are! They were very courteous and they attended all our needs. If you're thinking maybe it's because we were invited for food tasting that's why they're nice and all, but I went back after a week or two and the way they treat their customers are the same as the first time I stepped in that place. So that's a plus!
The Comfort Room: ★★★★★
The Comfort Room: ★★★★★
I'm very very picky when it comes to wash rooms and comfort rooms of every place I visit especially in hotels and restaurants. So I was really happy when I went inside Caffe Firenzo's wash room, everything a girl needs in a wash room is there and the hose is a plus, it's soooo clean you can literally sleep on the floor haha, it smells good too!
Team SOX!
Caffe Firenzo is located @ Sun City Suites comnplex, National Highway, General Santos City.
