    Booked evening meal at Florentina as very convenient for our overnight stay in Park Plaza. Really delicious Calamari Fritti followed by chicken Romana with Parmesan frites. The chicken was superbly cooked - moist meat + light fluffy/crispy batter with stalk of roasted vine tomatoes + rocket lettuce. The serving staff were excellent + happy to serve with a smile. We chose a table near serving hatch so observed the chef + his team doing a great job.
