Fiorellino serves authentic Italian cuisine centered on traditional wood-fired pizzas and freshly prepared pasta dishes. The menu emphasizes quality ingredients imported directly from Italy, ensuring each plate reflects classic Mediterranean flavor profiles. Diners observe the artisan preparation process through an open kitchen layout featuring a large central stone oven. The environment utilizes industrial design elements such as exposed brick and polished concrete to create a functional, modern space. Each pizza base undergoes a precise fermentation process before meeting the intense heat of the wood fire to achieve a signature charred crust. Beverage selections focus on regional Italian labels chosen to complement the acidity and texture of the savory menu offerings. This establishment maintains a consistent culinary standard for those seeking genuine Neapolitan techniques and high-quality starch-based traditions in a contemporary setting.
Fiorellino is frequently praised for its authentic Italian menu, with the pizza and pasta consistently cited as standout dishes that deliver high-quality, fresh flavors. Many guests enjoy the vibrant, festive atmosphere and appreciate the attentive and professional service provided by the staff, often highlighting specific team members for their expertise and hospitality. While the restaurant is a popular destination for both special occasions and social dinners, some visitors note that the environment can become quite loud and cramped, particularly on weekends when music is playing, making it difficult to hold conversations. Although most feedback is positive regarding the culinary quality and overall energy, a few diners mentioned inconsistencies in service pacing, portion sizes, or the noise level, suggesting that while it is a top-tier choice for a lively dining experience, it may not suit those seeking a quiet or relaxed setting.
The vibe of the restaurant was great. Even though they were busy, our server still made an effort to provide good service, which we really appreciated.
We tried the Bietola Salad based on our server's recommendation, & it was honestly the best salad I've ever had 10/10, so flavorful & fresh. We also had the Bucatini pasta, which was decent, about a 7/10. The Cacio e Pepe pizza was okay, probably a 6/10.
To top it off, they surprised us with a tiramisu for dessert, & it was absolutely delicious another 10/10.
Overall, it was a really nice experience. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try.
Food was good, but we got kicked out 11 minutes after our time was up, which we didn't know & none of the staff told us.
Very disappointed about this, specially since we ordered desserts & we were just enjoying them when the server started picking everything up & we knew something was up. 2 minutes later, the server told us that we needed to leave the table because the next reservation was here.
We will definitely not come back.
Our reservation was for 7:00 pm-we were seated at 7:15 & had our order in by 7:30. By 8:00, we still did not get our food & we were told our food had been accidentally given to another table. It honestly felt like our order may not have been put in at all. Both were frustrating. Our food was served to us by 8:30pm. Throughout the evening, service was lacking-no water refills & very little check-in from our server.
Also disappointed, as we were celebrating a birthday & noticed other tables receiving a small dessert for special occasions, but nothing was acknowledged for us.
The food itself was good, but overpriced. The vibe is nice if you enjoy loud music.
I was really excited to try this place, but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. I won't be returning

We went to Fiorellino for the first time last night & it was great!
We ordered 4 dishes + dessert (tiramisu) - the beetroot salad (with whipped ricotta!!), the burrata, the tartufata & the rigatoni vodka. My boyfriend had a classic negroni.
Each dish was unique in flavour & we loved every bite! Portions were just right for the two of us & we were hungry. My boyfriend said it was the best white sauce pizza he's ever had. :)
He also mentioned the negroni was exactly as you imagine a negroni to be.
There was a DJ playing music & it was at the ideal volume. We could still chat with each other while enjoying our food & the ambience.
I would recommend as a cute date spot or for a night with friends or family! Also, I would recommend reserving before hand as they are popular & seats get filled up very quickly from what we saw.
Excellente nourriture & très belle ambiance, mais j'ai été très déçu du service. La serveuse était sèche & peu sympathique tout au long de la soirée. Lorsque j'ai mentionné que c'était l'anniversaire de mon amie, elle m'a dit qu'elle apporterait un "petit quelque chose". Plus tard, je reçois ma facture, puis je découvre qu'elle avait ajouté le dessert de la fêtée sur ma facture, mais elle ne me l'avais jamais mentionné ou validé avec moi que ça convenait. C'est la première fois que cela m'arrive dans un restaurant, & je trouve cela assez ordinaire étant donné que j'ai pris la parole pour le groupe. J'aurais du moins, au minimum, pu être avertie ou consultée à l'avance. J'apprécie toujours mes soirées au Fiorellino, mais ai été déçue du service reçu :
Nous avons été littéralement oubliés. À tel point que je ne savais même pas qui était notre serveur ou serveuse. Nous avons eu trois personnes différentes : une pour l'eau au début, une pour prendre la commande, & une autre pour nous apportez l'addition. & à chaque étape, nous avons dû réclamer le service. J'aurais aimé prendre un deuxième verre, commander un dessert, mais l'attente était si longue que je craignais de rater mon spectacle. Si mon fiancé n'était pas allé voir le gérant, je me demande combien de temps cela aurait duré encore... On m'a offert 2 chocolats à la fin, probablement pour "s'excuser." Par contre, la nourriture était bonne.
Amazing hidden gem downtown Montreal! Chefs Marco & David took me back to Italy... Taking me on a journey through my taste buds! From pizza styles of Milan & Napoli & pastas from Rome & Sicily to the seafood dishes of the Mediterranean sea, & let's not forget dessert..mmm Canolis! Grazie mille e molto delizioso 🙏
Good pasta, great pizza, good desserts. Very correct for the price. Also, nice atmosphere, good music, & the restaurant is pretty. However, the service is sloppy. They are friendly enough, that's not the issue, but it feels like the waiters are either understaffed, working in a weird system, or didn't know their job. We asked for a pizza to share as an entree, & another pizza & 2 pasta dishes as the main. We were pretty cheesy about what was what. Everything came at the same time, so first of all, so my pizza was cold by the time I ate it, & then the side of fries came when we were done eating. The dessert menu appeared before taking out the table, so we were looking at our dirty dishes while trying to imagine the dessert. Decent wine menu though, correct prices. Conclusion: I'd go with some friends, hang out, have a bottle of wine & snack on a pizza. You'll have a good time.
