Every bite taste freshly made…If you’re old like me, at 10:00 on a Saturday night in downtown Reading, walking into any bar on Penn Street might be associated with a certain stigma. One that might walk the lines of dark, dirty, and maybe even scary or just – not for you. But during a recent random visit to Florino’s Pizza & Bar, I couldn’t find any of that being any further then the truth.Everything about this place has been hit with a sense of love that can only come from pride in ownership. Owned and operated by Florin and his wife, Angie, one can only imagine the amazing heights their personal relationship has achieved if it mirrors anything like what they’ve done with the place and the food here – as “love” is clearly at its center.I was encouraged to try the cheesesteak which in my opinion is easily the best cheesesteak I’ve had ever. The bread is made fresh I’m told and you can taste it in every mouthwatering bite. The crisp flakey crunch of the crust is light and the dough just melts in your mouth. The meat is hardy and not overly greasy, the sauce in clever blended in with the steak and the cheese and when you marry all of that with the fried onions and extras you’re left with something you just know you don’t have time to replicate in your home kitchen.Florin is the kind of guy that let me taste of a few of the wings as well. Something he clearly can’t do for every patron but let me just say they are worth it as well. Perfectly seasoned, a nice bite to them, and delicious through and through.The bar itself is clean, surprisingly clean and updated. The sandy browns and rustic colors scream old Italy to me and invite you to venture back deep into the bar where things open up to a dance area complete with Titan Tron lighting, a sound system your smartphone can sync into, and every bars must have – a very nice pool table.I highly recommend everyone making Florino’s they’re new hang out spot. But if you don’t, I wouldn’t be mad at all – as that will be just more elbow room for me!

The staff is very unfriendly, walk around with their lips pucker together. We thought we would try the new restaurant and the old one was much better, with service and the staff!!!!

Awesome place. It's kind of for everyone. If you're loud it's for you if you like to go and sit and just have a beer and enjoy some quiet it can be for you. The owner flo, is one of the nicest men I've ever met. He's very genuine, he treats his staff well, which in turn means his staff is very pleasant. I go in there with my service dog to get takeout sometimes, and I've never had a bad experience.

Bartender was on point. Kinda seedy and smelled bad.

Good prices on take-out beer, can get rough inside before COVID.
I liked that I can smoke and drink at the same time. It's been years and years since I've been able to do that at a bar
