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.
Delicious authentic Italian dishes across the board. I own an Italian restaurant & I am Italian & these dishes are top of the top. Pizza is incredible as well.
Highly recommend for lunch & dinner.
Most fairly priced delicious spot in Montreal & very warm service from everybody in the restaurant from start to finish.
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.
Food was fresh, we had the lemon butter ravioli that was filled with spinach & ricotta. We also had the artichoke, olive, prosciutto pizza. The dishes were exactly as described & the pizza dough was semi dense but not chewy. We just felt that it was priced very high for the quality & atmosphere. Wine was also expensive & not quite to our tastes. Overall we may have been more satisfied if it were cheaper.
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.
Very busy at lunch so I recommend to reserve since a lot of the office workers come here. Even though the restaurant was full, the service was relatively fast. I got the Stella pizza which has a white sauce with prosciutto. Also tried their funghi gnocchi. I enjoyed the flavours of both dishes but felt that it was quite salty. My mouth felt so dry I had to keep on drinking water for the rest of the day. Dishes are also on the pricier side. Would prefer going to pizzeria 900 for taste to price ratio. Overall decent place but wouldn't come back.
Pizza Astoria & the Pappardelle Bolognese were delicious. Music was a little loud but blurred out the noise from other tables. Will be returning to try other dishes & would definitely recommend this restaurant. Good luck finding parking.
Patrick our bartender was great. Excellent knowledge of dishes served & wine. Food was very good, & the spot was busy so the cooking staff was on point. It was full so we ate at the bar, met Tommy the owner who was gracious & thanked us for our business & sent us a nice dessert. We will come back.

Atmosphere was classy & service was great. Super friendly staff. Love this place for a little date night. We got the margarita pizza, bolognese pasta, seafood risotto & fried calamari. there's more dishes in the menu that I would love to try, so I definitely would be back !
Dinner here was amazing! Most of the dishes were better than I expected. I’d recommend the pesto pasta & ravioli. I love that the ravioli comes in a flower shape - so cute!! The drinks were also delicious. I ordered a random cocktail & loved it. The only thing that was just okay was the cheesecake dessert.
Service was fast, could have been more attentive though as we had to flag servers to get our bill & order dessert.
Obsolutely fantastic! An eating experience of orgasmic proportions!
Every dish, ranging from the prosciutto crutto pizza to the (my personal favorite) butternut squash carpaccio were flawless.
Put it this way, my mother, an italian born & raised woman who doesn't believe in restaurants (if you're southern italian, you understand) ate every single bite on every single one of her dishes, something I have never witnessed in my life! The food is that good.
It's a hands down must try, you will not regret it.
The place looks great, very comfortable laid back atmosphere, cool seating arrangement & a salummi bar that you can dine on.
The service very good, very professional & very European feeling.
5 star for me.
