I expected more from this restaurant because of its high rating. Unfortunately, the service was not very good. We often had to wait for our waitress, and ordering another drink took about 20 minutes. We even had to wave to get his attention, as he didn’t notice us. There were available tables, so it seemed they should have had enough time for their guests. Also, the waitress spoke very quietly, and we had to ask him to repeat herself several times, which made communication difficult.
As for the atmosphere, the design was fine, but I didn’t like the smell—it reminded me of an old room, which felt unusual for a restaurant. The first impression when entering wasn’t great.
Regarding the food: the carpaccio was excellent and very delicious. I also ordered pasta with seafood. The pasta was al dente and the seafood was okay, but in my opinion the sauce wasn’t creamy enough and felt too watery. The lamb was not cooked well—it wasn’t tender and had a strong smell, which made it unpleasant.
Additionally, the wine was too warm for my taste.
Our time at Fiore was one filled with great food and a great service. Its atmosphere, mainly due to the restaurant's size, is compact but cozy. If you feel a bit squished, however, there is outdoor seating as well. The drinks here are great, and they do not skimp on the alcohol. Their wine selection can compliment any dish you choose. The food here is fresh and homemade with full flavors. The staff are friendly and made the experience fun. If you're looking for a small and fun Italian restaurant at a great price, Fiore is the place to go.
Had a really enjoyable meal here. My favorite bread dipping sauce is here, and it's their olive pesto dip. It's garlicky and yummy. We got the gnocchi with Gorgonzola, Moroccan chicken, short ribs, and a salad. Satisfying meal with good flavors. It's a neighborhood gem that likely has regulars. The service with Ford was awesome and super welcoming.
Fiore is a true gem! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was excellent, and the dessert was absolutely outstanding. Every bite was a perfect balance of flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
Excellent food. Excellent service. Everything was Delicious. We started with the stuffed mushrooms. A perfect small plate to start with. Each mushroom was stuffed with crab. Very tasty. I had the mushroom ravioli. The pasta was cooked Al dente which I decided I rather enjoyed. The sauce was rich and creamy. My friend had the Marchigiana Granchia: penne pasta with crab meat and shrimp. That dish was very flavorful as well. Simple, minimal ingredients really brought out the flavor of each ingredient. We also enjoyed the cream puff dessert which was lots of fun. I will definitely go back.
