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.
Decent restaurant, ambience is lacking, especially if you're in the tables in the middle of the dining room. Starters were excellent! The pizza was just okay, very watery, over-oiled, & a very thin crust. Food is very pricey for what you get, almost $30 for the three meatballs.
Food is fantastic. We had the Misticanza & Burrata salads & then the classic pizza. The selection of wines by the glass was ordinary but the negroni was lovely. The decor is inviting but the music is so very loud. Everyone around us was yelling in order to have a conversation so the ambiance was quite unpleasant. They also seemed to be understaffed for a Friday night so service was a slow. I won't return for dinner since it's impossible to have a conversation & it's clear from the amount of similar complaints in the reviews that management must know it's too loud, & won't be changing that.
Réservation à 19h un mardi 2 octobre. Beaucoup d'attente pour nos plats. Les pâtes étaient froident. Un des cuisinier vapotait dans la cuisine. Le serveur ne connaissait pas ses vins. Par chance qu'il y avait sa collègue pour veiller au service d'eau. Ambiance parfaite Pizza délicieuse Pizzaiolo très professionnel !

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 🙏

We went for a quick dinner but I loved the setting of the place & how quick was the service. We had a live pizza station in front of us & that was a great sight to have lol. Loved the food, we had calamari (Fritto Misto), Rigatoni with Vodka, & Classic Margherita. We loved it all.
Great spot for the best pizza in Montreal Recommended by Four Seasons Very friendly owner Heirloom tomato & beet salad is to die for Pizza is super thin crust very tasty perfect texture Homemade peanut butter & jelly cheesecake topped it all off Go to for pizza when we're in town
The pizzas are really good with tasty products. Probably among the best pizzas eaten in town. But the service.... Not a "hello" by the waitress nor any concerns about the clients while installing the table. Others were just ok. I don't know if it is supposed to be trendy to be disdainful with the clients. But I don't like it.
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.
