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.
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.
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.
Another fantastic evening with fantastic food. Habib, the owner, always does a great job and is a genuinely wonderful host. We’ve never had a bad meal here—consistently excellent every time.
One small suggestion: turning the music down just a notch would make an already great experience even better.
Thanks again for a wonderful evening. We’ll definitely see you again soon.
