Townhouse - Florence

While at the library, I was feeling a bit hungry so I checked to see what was around within walking distance. Townhouse popped up and when I saw they had Greek food, I knew I had to try them. I was welcomed as soon as I walked in the door. After perusing the menu, I ordered a gyro, fries, and a lemonade for dine in. I found a nice table by the window and observed the traffic coming into the restaurant as well as those using the drive thru window. This place had people coming and going nonstop! My food was quick to be made, and piping hot. The fries were delicious and the gyro wasn’t bad either. The gyro meat did look and taste as though it was a mass produced (square cut pieces with slightly dry edges) and previously frozen item, but the spices were pretty close to what I was expecting. The flat bread it was wrapped in was okay, but had a mass produced flavor as well. Overall, my meal wasn’t too bad for a local family restaurant and the fact that they stayed busy the entire time I was there (between lunch and dinner) shows they have good food overall and the locals love them. I would eat there again to get my Greek food fix.

Good food really enjoyed eating breakfast ? there ? very good people became a regular there

To start off, I've lived in Florence for over ten years, and during that time, I have not found any meal at this particular Greek restaurant that I enjoyed more than those from other Greek establishments in town. However, that is beside the point. This evening, my wife requested that I pick up something for her on my way home from work. She attempted to call in the order, knowing that the restaurant would be closing soon. Their closing time is listed as 10 pm, and it was around 9:35 pm when she made several calls. Unfortunately, her calls went unanswered. Given that I was nearby, she suggested I go directly to the restaurant to place the order. I arrived at 9:54 pm and requested to place an order. The voice at the drive thru sign informed me that they were closed. I pointed out that their business hours indicated they were open until 10 pm, which meant they should still be open. The person seemed to have difficulty understanding me and asked me to pull up to the window. When I pulled up, the lady did not open the window to speak with me but reiterated that they were closed. I explained that it was still before 10 pm and that their posted hours online stated they closed at 10 pm. She then turned around and spoke to an older gentleman, who nodded in agreement. She subsequently confirmed that they would not be taking any more orders. This experience left me quite frustrated. What is the point of having posted business hours if you are not going to adhere to them?

Got the chicken gyro and some extra Tzatziki sauce and the side salad. The pita bread was soft and delicious and very flavorful. The chicken was nothing short of amazing! It was tender, juicy, and perfectly done. The salad was fresh and had plenty of feta cheese on it. Prices were reasonable and the waitstaff are very friendly and polite. The interior of the restaurant is clean and comfortable and had a diner feel. Prices are way more reasonable than you would expect based on the quality of the food. The Townhouse is THE only place in Florence to get an authentic gyro and their wonderful sauce. Highly recommend! Kid-friendliness: Lots of basic kid friendly choices and they even have dessert!

One of my favorite places to eat in Florence. Do yourself a favor and try their lamb gyro.
