Located in the JW Marriott Chicago, in the city’s bustling Loop financial district, The Florentine offers an elegant yet accessible interpretation of seasonal Italian cuisine.

Characterized by simplicity and paramount ingredients, the menu showcases top imported Italian pastas, cheeses, salts and meats as well as ingredients from local and organic farms. In addition to an extensive antipasti menu and a variety of wood-fired thin crust pizzas, handmade pastas can be ordered in half or full portions. Desserts are modern interpretations of Italian classics, such as Tiramisu and Ricotta Cheesecake. The Florentine also offers an exciting brunch for weekend dining, featuring a diverse menu with bottomless mimosas and bloody marys with the purchase of an entrée.

The Florentine offers a variety of draught beers, ciders, and a seasonally-changing of hand-crafted cocktails alongside an affordable wine list highlighting Italian and domestic wines. Diners can enjoy wine by the bottle or by the quartino (1/3 bottle).

Incorporating traditional materials in a modern way, The Florentine envelops guests in a warm and lush interior. The airy front room is the perfect place for breakfast, lunch, drinks or a light bite during the day. An eye-catching circular bar with a bountiful antipasti display anchors the space.
