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.
A little on the pricey side for what you get in terms of pasta but it is a nice atmosphere, great service & the pizzas look amazing, from wood burning stove

The food was really good, the pasta was fresh & so was the pizza dough. We tried the spaghetti, the gnocchi, the agnolotti, the sausage & goat cheese pizza & the roasted vegetables one. We waited 45-60mins for the food which was a bit long. But I can say it was worth the wait as the agnolotti was my favorite, full of flavor. Although they made a mistake in our order & all the food didn't arrive at the same time, they managed to repair their mistake in little time. Would come back !
Overall, Fiorellino offers excellent Italian cuisine in Montréal: excellent pizzas & pastas, a lively atmosphere, stylish surroundings, & good value given the quality. Great pick for a date night or social dinner-less ideal if you want quiet or ultra?fast service.
I was looking for a charming, welcoming Italian restaurant & was not disappointed! This spot in downtown Montreal was absolutely delightful. I ordered the creste al ragù, which was delicious, as well as the vodka pasta & their fresh mixed lettuce salad. Everything tasted authentic & well-prepared.
The only thing I would mention is that, for the price, the pasta portions felt a little small. That said, the quality of the food & the overall atmosphere more than made up for it. Our waiter was extremely polite & the overall staff was very friendly.
We're a group of 7 with reservation. The place was packed on a Wednesday evening, but service was excellent. My pasta was cooked to perfection with creamy sauce, just delicious!
Bathrooms are horrible & don't have a first door - can be seen from the tables..
Food was subpar - they wanted to make the pasta'al dente' but ended up bringing it completely unboiled. So al dente it could break your teeth.
L.E.: In response to the rude owner suggesting the Exit door: no worries, like many others, I won't visit you again. Will be spending my money in real Italian eateries, not in low-quality chains.

Came in on a busy night & were happy to get a table right away. Our server was serving the whole bar top plus our section so service was a bit slow, but food came out quickly. He recommended the ragu pasta & it was amazing! We also loved the mushroom tagliatelle & Caesar salad. The cheesecake on special was criminally small, but absolutely delicious. The food is definitely the highlight here, service was friendly & personable but more staff could help with speed. The menu could also be changed online, I had my heart set on a dish only to find that the menu had changed!
I came here as part of a group, & we were served fast, & the servers were excellent. The resto mostly has pasta & pizza, but they do it well. The calamari app is enough for 2.
Great place with delicious pepperoni pizza & Bolognese Pasta. However, the grilled vegetable & goat cheese pizza was disappointing-the'grilled vegetables' were actually green olives, which overpowered the goat cheese. Unfortunately, we didn't realize until we got back to the hotel & had to throw it out. I would definitely go back just wouldn't get that pizza.
was an okay experience. Service was average nothing amazing, take order & drop plates & pay. Wait time was normal, nothing to complain. However, pasta is over priced for quantity & quality. Especially since they were undercooked however sauce was amazing. A little cold in restaurant since it is winter time (duh) but with the door opening & closing made it chilly so ask for a door further away. Ambiance & look is there beautiful restaurant.

I had the pasta bolognese it was soooo good but the portion size was really small compared to the sizes, the tiramisu was delicious but again small for the price, the interior is stunning & the waiter ( antoine ?) was really nice
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.
We got seated around 8:10 & it took over an hour for my table to get 3 pasta entrees. It doesn't seem like many people were coming to the restaurant so we were sitting for over an hour waiting for our food. Very slow service & not much humility from the wait staff that it took over an hour to provide 3 pasta entrees.
The first Fiorellino branch we went to was on Rue de la Gauchetiere. It is a very cozy & beautiful restaurant on the inside with candles on each table & with a staff that is always looking out for you. The food is fantastic & the pasta is a must try. We ended with the tiramisu which was just as delicious. Just make sure you have your reservation & dress up fancy for this is a venue that is the epitome of class & elegance. A definite 10/10 & we will be coming back for more. Particularly the Nutella bites
I've been here 3 times in the last year, the food & service was good. We were served by the staff near the bar, & it was a pleasant experience. However, the most recent time I went there, we ordered later in the evening & I believe they rushed cooking our food. My pasta was very undercooked, I couldn't finish it because it was inedible. I only took two bites, & it was almost half the serving because the portion was so small. I also had to ask for more bread five times to 4 separate servers to finally get my bread. I wouldn't come back to this location
