Florentine Restaurant and Pasta Markets

Florentine's Bread and Cheese Spread

These guys have been here in San Jose (1057 Blossom Hill Road, 408-723-3211) for ages; we used to come here quite a bit when growing up. And the main reason for coming here was their signature bread and cheese spread. Light and hot from the oven, these triangularly cut pieces of bread go perfectly with the soft spreadable (processed?) cheese spread.

We came here tonight out of convenience, and the bread proved just as addictive as it was more than 15 years ago. That says a lot coming from a guy who doesn't really like bread.

Unfortunately, the meals themselves can be rather forgettable. But not to worry; you'll fill yourself up plenty with all of that bread. I suppose that the takeout section of this place could come in handy though, especially with their packed lunches.
