Review Summary

Fiorellino comes across in reviews as a buzzy downtown Italian spot where the pizza is the star and the vibe is warm, lively, and often loud. Guests rave about the wood-fired crust, light dough, and flavorful pastas and gnocchi, with numerous dishes praised for freshness and presentation; the antipasti, salads, and desserts also get favorable mentions. The drinks program is highlighted for well-crafted cocktails and a thoughtful wine list, though some note a limited selection by the glass and a bustle around bar service. Service is generally described as attentive and friendly, with several servers and bartenders going above and beyond, while other visits report long waits for food or a crowded, noisy dining room that makes conversation difficult. Reservations are advised, especially on weekends, and the atmosphere is considered ideal for a lively date night or group outing rather than a quiet meal. Overall, Fiorellino is seen as a delicious, high-energy Italian option in the city, offering excellent pizza and strong hospitality with some variability in pace and acoustics.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Heirloom Vin & Pizza draws mixed to positive feedback, with praise for a strong dough and high quality ingredients and many calling it one of the best pizzerias in town, especially downtown. The dough is repeatedly praised and service is described as fast and friendly even on busy nights, with takeout working smoothly, though ambiance is often noted as lacking and the venue can feel like an upgraded food court. The menu offers variety with good wine options and poutine and is a solid choice for a midday meal. On the pizza side, the calabrese is flavorful and the four cheese pie can be excellent when the cheese balance is right, but some find the four cheese version too blue cheese heavy and the vegetable pie bland. The caesar salad is small and could use more sauce.View restaurant profile

Market Pizza Comfort Food Café Pizzeria

Review Summary

Moleskine is described by diners as fast, reliable, and clean, tucked in a busy food court where staff keep the space tidy and plates cleared quickly. Pizzas are consistently tasty with a dough described as awesome, light and just right, and the margherita is a frequent favorite. The four cheese pizza, whether red or white, is praised as amazing and a standout that feels simple yet not really simple. A first time visitor tried a Brooklyn pizza and found it very salty, and one interaction notes counter service influenced by tipping. Overall, reviews point to steady quality and a pleasant, efficient dining experience at Moleskine, with several mentions of the place remaining open since the original launch.View restaurant profile
