History of the Florentine: The Florentine Restaurant was a cherished Italian American eatery located in Columbus, Ohio's Franklinton neighborhood. Established in 1945 by Tony Penzone, it became a local institution over its 71-year history, renowned for its classic Italian dishes like spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, and its signature house salad dressing. The restaurant was a family-run business, with three generations of the Penzone family contributing to its legacy.
