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 a highly regarded destination in Montreal for authentic Italian cuisine, particularly celebrated for its high-quality wood-fired pizzas, fresh pasta, and well-crafted cocktails. Many guests highlight the vibrant, energetic atmosphere and the attentive, professional service provided by the staff, often noting the skill of the bartenders. While the establishment is frequently praised for being a perfect spot for dates or social outings, some diners note that the music can become quite loud, especially on weekend evenings, making conversation difficult. Opinions on value vary, as some patrons find the pricing justified by the quality of ingredients, while others express concerns regarding portion sizes or occasional service inconsistencies during peak hours. Overall, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a lively dining experience with classic Italian flavors.
We love this place. Had a great set menu for our group, & the pizzas are some of the best in town. The wine selection is also really top-tier, small Italian houses like Le Berne (who hosted our wine tasting dinner) are featured & really well priced. Highlight of the evening was having our soirée crashed by the Prime Minister of Canada 🤣 see photos…

Amazing time celebrating my wife's birthday! PATRICK our server was hands down one of montreals finest waiters. A newly graduated sommelier & creative genius behind the bar. Patrick was patient & very helpful in guiding us in the right direction when it came to both drinks & food. We let this fine gentleman pick our wine pairing & he hit it out of the park. The food was great but the service was even better. My inlaws who are fresh back from Italy said it was the closest they got to tasting the motherland in Montreal. We will be back as long as Patrick is serving us !
The wait staff are super rude to solo diners, forcing them to sit at the bar even when there are plenty of tables available. This is apparently routine behaviour, according to the friend I was staying with, who has also dined there solo a few times & has stopped going there. I was sitting for over 10 min before anyone even gave me a menu, then asked if I was ready to order. I said yes, then asked a question about the wines, & the server left without taking my order. I had to ask another server if I could please order after another 20 min had gone by. The pizza I ordered was good, but very much underbaked & soggy in the middle. A large family with several screaming small children were immediately opposite, so that was my experience of the atmosphere. Would not go back.
The pizza was actually delicious; fresh & really well-made. However, the wine was served a bit too warm for our taste, which wasn't ideal.
What bothered us most was the rushed service. While we were still chatting with food left on the table, the waiter came by to ask if we were done, making us feel like we had to hurry, even though the restaurant wasn't busy at all. It definitely took away from the experience.
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.
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.
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.
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.
