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.
After reading the reviews & the owner responses, I suggest the owners take the feedback & drop the ego. People write reviews for businesses to improve.
I ordered the truffle pasta & the taste was not great. For 38$, it was very underwhelming. I am from Vancouver & suggest the owners visit sopra sotto for some inspiration. Some feedback, perhaps the sauce needs more flavour & the portion could be a bit larger to justify the price.
I was served by the manager who was very friendly & accommodating. Great restaurant vibe, has a lot of potential. Long story short, do not order the truffle pasta.
This was our first time at F1 in Montreal. We had booked Fiorellino as one of our night excursions for dinner with a few friends. We knew something was different when we arrived, the atmosphere, the smell of fine food, & the friendly vibe. As we were brought to our seating spot, we were greeted by friendly service. Our waiter, Patrick was fantastic from start to finish. There was no wait time, as we had reserved ahead of time & were promptly seated. As we awaited for our friends, we were greeted by Phil, who informed us that we were being seated at a new booth & we were the first guests to enjoy it. I believe he was responsible for managing & operating the restaurant. It was positioned centrally so we had a great view of the restaurant, yet not crowded or noisy. We felt like royalty & VIPs. The music was great as arranged by the DJ, it was a busy night full of festivities. Unfortunately, our guests could not make it, so we had the booth all to ourselves, & what an experience!! Phil & Patrick were regularly checking in with us to make sure all was good. Not having been here before, I asked Phil for his recommendations & they were superb selections. We started off with Burrata, this was beyond appetizing. Then we had pasta with truffle oil infused & it was out of this world. Al dente the way pasta was meant to be eaten. This was followed by Wagyu strips delicately prepared & seasoned to perfection with various vegetable garnishes that added to the presentation & taste experience. We finished this meal with two originally created cocktails from Patrick not only a great server but a phenomenal mixologist!!! The drinks were amazing!!! I can only say to any of you visiting Montreal, if you want a dining experience out of this world, this is the place to be. Great location & value all in one!!! Thank you Phil & Patrick for the hospitality, service, quality of food, & experience. We will be back soon to visit, hopefully at the same booth! Gino & Max
Fantastic Italian restaurant with an amazing atmosphere & truly delicious food. The pasta was rich, fresh, & full of flavor, & the pizza was absolutely outstanding, perfectly cooked with incredible ingredients & authentic taste. You can really tell this place knows how to do Italian food right.
I did try the fish, & unfortunately it did not compare to how exceptional the pizza & pasta were. My advice: stick to what they do best. This is definitely a pizza & pasta place, & that's where they shine. Overall, still a wonderful experience & I would absolutely come back for the Italian classics!
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.
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
