Florin takes its name from the golden coin once minted in Renaissance-era Florence—a fitting emblem for a trattoria with one foot in Tuscany and the other in Toronto’s Financial District. It’s the latest from Turner Hospitality Group, the small family-run outfit behind Mother Tongue and a string of restaurants near Blue Mountain in Collingwood.
There I was thinking Florin was Dutch...and that the restaurant was inspired by Febo.
