Fiore

Fiore was packed during our dinner but they were able to keep up a nice pace of service the whole time. Pasta obviously the star of the show here, and the pappardelle, gnocchi and orrechiette were all delicious. Brussel sprouts appetizer was really good as well. Gelato options for dessert clearly the star of the show (they have pints for pre order weekly) and it did not disappoint.

I went there with a big party. The food presentation was great. We ordered close to every dish on the small menu of options. I heard from several from our group that best was the bread or olives. The problem with the food was it was consistently overly salted in every single one of our dishes!!! If it was one dish or just me then I would say I’m salt sensitive but everyone in the group whispered the exact comment about the food each time a new plate came out. This didn’t make it a enjoyable experience. I was thinking it must be a new cook on this Wednesday night.

4 stars for authenticity- they serve focaccia and pasta is definitely made in house. I deducted a star for outdoor ambiance but indoor looks cute! Red sauces seem to be salty (as other reviewers mentioned). But I really enjoyed the portions, our server suggested 5 plates for two people indicating tapas style, but it was a super comfortable portion and me/bf were fine splitting 3

I ordered a bunch of pastries for Sunday morning and they were out of this world! Their bomboloni gave me the taste of nostalgia of being in Italy that I missed so dearly. I got the peaches and cream bomboloni, some morning buns and a cookie and they were all so tastey. Very much so looking forward to coming back here for brunch or dinner!

I usually don’t post google reviews (this is my second) but fiore’s dinner was so underwhelming that I had to. Breakfast is okay but I went there for dinner and paid 20-30 per pasta dish and some were not cooked fully and the selection was all repetitive (filled pasta or gnocchi). The ribs were smoked into a jerky so unless you like tough chewy meat I would avoid. This not only not worth the price, but also if the pasta and food were free I still would not eat it

Fiore was a wonderful neighborhood restaurant with excellent food and polished service. Since COVID, they have slipped mightily. Service is amateurish; our appetizers were served before our drinks. Plates and silver were never changed. The bottle of water placed at our table was warm. Serving utensils had to be requested even though we shared everything. Our appetizers were good. Our pasta, trophie, was pasty, our main, tuna, was overly salty and plated as one slice and an overcooked chunk. My dessert, listed as strawberries and cream turned out to be a semifredo atop a biscuit crust so hard that I couldn’t cut through it and topped with preserves. The espresso was so bitter as to be undrinkable and no one asked whether I might like some sugar. All the above is fixable. I hope the owner tries!
