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.
Visiting friends in town who took me here, & the atmosphere was really fun with a live DJ (Friday night) & good vibes. I cannot recommend getting the carpaccio, for 22$ you get the thinnest slices of pear & barely anything for your money. The tartare was good, & the pizzas were nice as well. Nothing fancy.
Where I have the most issues is with the price of drinks... Just get a cocktail from the menu! I ordered two gin & tonics with a shot of St-Germain liquor extra in each, which ran me to 25$ a drink. 50$ for two gin & tonics, no warnings from the waitstaff either. They weren't anything special, nor top shelf liquor. I had quite the shock when the bill came, & honestly felt deflated leaving the restaurant. The vibes are good, but they cannot justify this in my opinion.
Patrick was an excellent bartender who made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, & clearly knew what he was doing. Every drink was perfectly made & served promptly. Patrick created a welcoming, fun atmosphere at the bar. I would absolutely come back & recommend him to anyone.
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.
Merci Zac pour ton service de feu!!! Nous lui avons demandé de nous proposer un choix de vin & de repas & il a répondu à nos attentes avec brio. Nous vous recommandons le filet mignon en entrée, c'était top!
Ridiculously good food. The wait staff & the cooks are also so sweet & you can tell they care for what they do! Shoutout to chef Davide - amazing. Been here more than 5x now. 100000% would recommend!!!

Had been recommended to us & was not disappointed. Service was very friendly & responsive. Best pizza ever. Wood fired oven & special dough made for an amazing crust. Toppings were delicious. Salad was so good we ordered a second helping. A must try when in Montreal.
Je recommande beaucoup! Nous étions de passage à Montréal pour un soir. Notre souper au Fiorellino a transformé une soirée de pluie en soirée mémorable. Les pâtes étaient parfaites & la pizza tout aussi délicieuse. Leur Notte Bianca est possiblement le meilleur drink que j'ai bu dans ma vie. Le Spritz était très bon selon ma conjointe. Heureusement que nous sommes arrivés tôt par contre. Le Fiorellino, ce sont des pros !
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!

Beau resto, des plats succulents préparés avec des ingrédients frais & de première qualité, excellent service & super ambiance. Ce resto est devenu un des mes préférés, je recommande fortement !
Good pizza. Good service. Good vibes.
Minutes away from the Palais des Congres in Montreal walking.
This made it the perfect stop before heading home to Ottawa.
I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area.
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.
