Florentine Sports Lounge in Michigan

"Good burger and great pizza. - Coach’s Choice Burger - $12: Savory good. It had a unique savory flavor and found later after asking that it was the Montreal Steak Seasoning that they use. It does give it a slight steak flavor. Ordered medium and received it slightly above medium, but very juicy. I ordered it with lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayo. The burger was slightly thinner and larger diameter, but still a large patty (¼ to ⅓?). The bun had a thin, crispy, flaky shell with a light and fluffy inside. It was a bit massive, but you could squish it down if needed to manage it better. I ate it as is. I FORGOT American cheese. I never forget. I normally refuse to eat burgers without cheese, but this time I actually did not notice until I had inhaled. So that must mean it is that good. I’d have to come back and have it with cheese to be sure, but wow. - Fries (comes with the burger): Good. Darker, but not burnt. They were softer down to the last one. Medium to slightly heavier salted. They had a deeper flavor. Larger cut with a little skin still on them. - 9” Two Topping Pizza - $8: Great! Munchy Menu item (everyday 3-6pm & 9pm to close). It was a higher quality pizza, medium crispy crust that was still plenty soft and full bodied. We ordered sausage and banana peppers. - Tue - Tito’s Mule - $6.50: Served in a Ketel One Vodka mug, but made with Tito’s Vodka which is a little odd. Really cool mug, though. My friend ordered it and I did not have any. The drinks generally often had a wedge of lemon. Some people love that, but some are very conscientious of that. Whichever side you are on, know that because it is not really specified and comes by default that way. I typically don’t like the lemon wedge and took mine off my water. - Service: Started off matter-of-fact, but as the waitress warmed up, she was amazing and fun. She was super helpful and if she didn’t know the answers, she found out for us. Everything was right and as ordered (all of the mistakes were mine). - Atmosphere: Mainly tables and chairs. There are a few booths, but not many. They do have a bar. It is a darker atmosphere and not a ton of light. Louder, upbeat, and positive music. Some are older, but well mixed. They do have a take out area. - Conclusion: I’d definitely go back for the food, but the music limits what conditions I’d come back for. Visited on a Tuesday at 5pm."

"Manager Andrew and Chief Hostess Lindsey and their team of excellent Cooks /Chefs make this place always Excellent...I have been coming here for over 20 years .Delicious food.and down home genuine people always ,I non reluctantly give 5 Gold Stars to Florentines near Kalamazoo Avenue and 44th Street.."

"The bartender does a great job! The staff in general is attentive. The food, I wouldn't say it is amazing, but I loved every bite! If you are into sports, I counted 38 screens. If they don't have it on a screen in this place, it simply isn't on. I recommend this establishment, however, if you are expecting a yuppie, upscale sports pub, this isn't the place you want. But if you are into meeting new interesting people and not paying $10 per drink, or $100 tab for a good meal, this is your place. ! Enjoy!"

"If you've never been give them a try. Hands down best pizza around anywhere. There's other good pies but in my opinion they win. Been going there for 40 years. Any issue or concerned over this span has been beyond taken care of or compensated for. (We all have bad days or screw up or get wrong order etc) Anyone of my friends from outta town always doubt me for best They all want to come back to have pizza w/or without me "

"Been nearly a decade since I was at Florentine Sports Lounge. It was delicious, our waitstaff was fairly new, and she is a true asset. Amazing job! Hope to be back more often!"

"I attended a 60th Birthday party here. 50-60 people in attendance. It was absolutely amazing. Two servers work the room. They served the waters with , and then waited patiently on every table taken orders. Never got one order wrong. The food came out so quick. Everyone was amazed at the promptness of the waitresses, and how quickly we were served. They never left the room. The food was delicious, still ! Definitely a yes for me!"

"Well, well, well. I just found my R&R spot in Michigan. Catrina was a great host. They have a buffet lunch hour or opt for the huge lounge/formal area and have some wine with friends. I travel thru many states (check my reviews) and this is definitely a gem . “ I’ll be back. “(Why does that statement always sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger?-idk) Thanks Florentine."

"We booked a family party of 11 for dinner recently. We requested seating in the private dining room which worked out very well. It was quiet and easy to carry on conversation. Michele took great care of serving all of us, the food was great, and we all enjoyed our evening!"
