Parisi is one of those places I've become addicted to! Even though the joint has becoming incredibly popular (read long lines) it is still always a pleasure to wait for my perfect pizza. The other dishes can be incredible as well, such as the homemade gnocchi and risotto. Parisi is the closest thing I've found to Italy, were I travel often, as it offers a fun, come everyone and bring your outside voice and vino sort of environment. The last time I was in we had a party of eight people on a Saturday night and the staff made us fell at home as we waited (quite a while) for our table. They even brought us some snacks to munch on at the counter and the kids were entertained by the showmanship of the pizza makers. When we got our table we enjoyed the the dishes we had ordered and were amazed at the number of people waiting to get a taste of this little slice of Florence. My only complaint would be the crazyness of the entire process, but it also adds to the charm of the whole experience. We finished the night with gelato and some tiramisu from the deli. On the way out we wandered downstairs and were astonished to find an entirely different restaurant. Much less hustle and a great looking menu, have to get back soon. Overall, always a great time with great food and so far, no lost luggage.
Pros: Great food, cool concept, cheap eats
Cons: Long wait, parking, not closer to home
