Florentine Legacy

Hey All,
We are selling our kitchen equipment. If you know anyone in the restaurant business who needs items in great condition, please share! (We are still selling sauce in grocery stores, online at our website, and on marketwagon.com.)

This is my dad and me circa 1980. It’s nestled on a board attached to my work desk and is surrounded by pictures of my wife, our two boys, my immediate family, my wife’s family, and numerous Florentine mementos. I look at this board every day and reflect. Without the values Florentine ingrained in me, I honestly believe I wouldn’t have the wonderful life I have today. I’m eternally grateful for this. 

I know these words are long past due, but I had to take a step back and absorb everything to gain clarity. As much as I have loved recreating a small piece of Florentine Restaurant and continuing on the story of my family, it’s time to permanently close our ghost kitchen. I love it, I do, but sadly this love doesn’t generate sustainability. 

Recreating nostalgia isn’t easy, especially when it comes with a shadow much larger than the person trying to foster it, so please know I am humbled by your support. Your enthusiasm enabled me to continue the legacy these past seven years. Over that time, I’ve loved listening to you express what the Florentine has meant to you. It’s always been more than just the food, it’s about the history tethered to each meal, which is why it’s been incredibly hard to publish this post. 

For the time being, you can still find our pasta sauces at grocery stores, MarketWagon.com, and at Farmers Markets for the next several weeks (Worthington, Westerville).

Please leave a message of your favorite Florentine memory in the comments. Thank you all.

Best Wishes,

Nick

We are open Friday and Saturday til 9:30! Order via your favorite delivery app for family night, the Buckeye game, or any occasion.

Hello!

We are looking to hire friendly, reliable people to sell our jarred sauces and dressing at the Worthington and/or Dublin Farmers’ Markets on Saturday mornings this summer! It’s easy and fun, and you get to be outside, chatting with cool people. Message us on Facebook or call Nick at 614.937.0240 if you or someone you know is interested! Maybe a high schooler, a college student home for the summer, or anyone looking for a few hours of work on beautiful summer Saturday mornings!

Hello Friends!!! We are hiring!!! If you know someone looking for a fun, flexible, and fast-paced opportunity, send this along!

RESTAURANT INFORMATION AND CULTURE

We wish to expand our hours and our offerings, so we are hiring! As an employee, you will be treated with friendliness and respect. Our team works closely together, trusts each other, depends on one another, and has a lot of fun…just like a family does.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
We have some varying opportunities at our kitchen. Our staff is responsible for:
• Food preparation
• Cooking (range, oven, pasta extruder)
• Monitoring online order system
• Packaging orders

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Working in a ghost kitchen, you will be part of an exciting, up-and-coming food service concept that relies heavily on technology, social media, and food delivery apps. Additionally, working for a new spinoff of a classic family restaurant, you will have the opportunity to create fresh, new menu ideas, develop operational improvements in the kitchen, and partner with people who are passionate about serving quality food in a fun environment.
