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.
We had the pizza & it was phenomenal. I will tell you basically they are meant for one person. They look bigger but are very thin. Maybe with a salad 2 can share 1 pizza. Our server was Marjorie. She was super knowledgeable & kind
Très accueillant! Le maître d'hôtel (hôte) italien nous accueille & nous offre deux choix de table, ça débute bien l'expérience. On poursuit avec le service chaleureux de Cassandra. La nourriture est délicieuse; la salade, les pâtes & la pizza. Notre coup de coeur va pour les polpettes authentiques italiennes. Tellement tendres, elles fondent dans la bouche. L'ambiance est chaleureuse. C'est un restaurant achalandé & j'adore! Merci à toute l'équipe.

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.
Fiorellino Centre Ville is a gem for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine. Their pizzas are perfectly crisp with a delightful balance of flavors, & their pastas are simply delicious, showcasing traditional recipes with a modern touch. The ambiance is cozy & inviting, making it a great spot for a casual meal or a special occasion. Service was friendly & attentive, though a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that's definitely worth a visit!
Me & my friend went for supper at Fiorellino on De la Gauchetiere.I ordered Fusilli with pesto & Burrata It was just ok I had way better at MARCELLO in Old Montreal.Then I ordered a bottle of wine & I asked for the Sangiovese Moltopulciano the waiter comes back & asks me we don't have it & then he ask's me can you show me exactly which one oh sorry we do have it.So the waiter brings the bottle poors it into my glass for me to taste it it was good but a bit warm.Then my friend tells this is not the wine you ordered on the bottle it was written Piceno Rosso I call back the waiter & I tell him this is not the wine I ordered & he says it's the same thing & I told him no it's not & on top of that it was Biological. I told the waiter forget about it.As for my friend he ordered a Pizza the Classico he told the waiter he wanted it well cooked.After the waiter brings my friend the Pizza it looked good but when he tasted it my friend was disappointed ,wasn't cooked well enough & it was to wet & gummy I tasted it didn't like it.The waiter told us nobody ever made a complaint here & I told him there's a first time for everything.I asked the waiter is the owner here he said no.We were both disappointed in my opinion the waiter didn't know what he was talking about.Unfortunately I will not go back.
Pizza was alright, but not worth it for the price. If it was a club I would have loved the music, but it was so loud it drowned out the conversation at my table. If you're just looking to be trendy, this is the place for you, if you're looking for pizza, go literally anywhere else.
The place is cute & the service good but I only gave 3 stars for the food. The Frito misto was good but tiny for the price. The pizza napoletana had a soggy bottom (It's certainly not that way in Napoli!) & the price of the pizza is excessive. I guess you're paying for ambience rather than good food.

ORDER THEIR TARTUFATA PIZZA👌🏼MUSHROOM & TRUFFLE PASTE 🤤 & ofc some parmigiano reggiano on top! This is my 3rd time dining at Fiorellino & I always order their Tartufata pizza🤭 & its always soooo delicious!!! Had another amazing night. Service + food was excellent!!
Split an amazing cacio Pepe pizza with a nice bottle of wine with my fiancee for dinner. The Caesar salads were delicious as well! The waiting staff was superb & watching the pizzas being made with gusto was fun as well. Definitely recommend!
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.
Everything is fantastic in this restaurant. Zach was an amazing sever who made our night very enjoyable, must try the pastas, the pizza, the tiramisu & the cannoli, fun ambiance & very well located.
Had a terrific experience at Fiorellino. The service was really outstanding. I regret not getting the name of our server but she did a wonderful job (edit: it was Cassandra, thank you Cassandra you were fantastic). Don't stress if you don't speak French (or Italian), everyone will make you feel comfortable regardless. So, the food. This place is known for their pizza, & tbh, rightfully so. However we also tried the Burrata, the Tagliatelle, & the Carpaccio, which was one of the tastiest we've ever had, & we've had it at more than a couple Michelin starred restaurants. Everything was fresh & wonderfully prepared & beautifully presented. The cocktails were great & fairly reasonable in pricing. Interesting flavour combinations & I'm personally a fan of the liquors they use in their signature cocktails (Ketel One, Casamigos, & Tanqueray, which I think is an underrated cocktail gin, in the drinks that we tried). They had a DJ playing who really hit his mark in terms of maintaining the atmosphere. There was some talent in display there but he wasn't trying to stand out, just to give a nice (baseline/bassline lol) of sound for everyone to enjoy. Sound levels were at the perfect level as well, no straining for conversation, but your conversation felt private as well. All in all a very satisfying experience for a price that wasn't cheap, but far from exorbitant. Thanks guys, we're looking forward to returning.
Délicieuse pizza & excellentes pâtes aux fruits de mer (ce plat un peu cher cependant - 39$) Tables un peu coincées, on a eu la gentillesse de nous accomoder pour trouver meilleure section malgré salle bondée.
We went for dinner & it was a good experience. My friend & I ordered the burrata tomato basil pizza, the truffle linguine & the tiramisu. The food is simple & good. Everything is fresh, seasoned & tasty, but nothing is spectacular. The vibe was great & the service was great too. The servers were very attentive. In my opinion, they could elevate it a bit. All in all, it is good italian food.

Went upon the recommendation of a friend & was not disappointed! The service was friendly & prompt, the restaurant had a great atmosphere & my Contadina pizza was fantastic. Would highly recommend to others.
We were a small group of 7. Food was great, the fried zucchini were amazing. Nice choice of wine & cocktails, their take on the old fashion is delicious. The waitress Channel was very kind & fast. Pizza is authentic, with a real Italian oven.
Food was very good, had a pizza & a salad, but it took almost 45 minutes to get the salad & 1.5 hours for the pizza. The wait was very long. I would order takeout instead of dining in.
C'est un de mes restaus préférés à Montréal ! En tout cas c'est mon italien préféré pour sûr. Les plats sont super bien travaillés avec des produits de qualité, personnellement j'y préfère les plats plutôt que les pizzas. C'est moins accessibles que certains niveaux prix mais ça vaut vraiment le détour. En photo les raviolis à la burrata : une pépite
