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.
I've been here 3 times in the last year, the food & service was good. We were served by the staff near the bar, & it was a pleasant experience. However, the most recent time I went there, we ordered later in the evening & I believe they rushed cooking our food. My pasta was very undercooked, I couldn't finish it because it was inedible. I only took two bites, & it was almost half the serving because the portion was so small. I also had to ask for more bread five times to 4 separate servers to finally get my bread. I wouldn't come back to this location
The chef came out to make us try a special dish & wow. I'm speechless. This is a must try. The vibe, the staff, the ambiance is just special. Makes me feel like family. Must try!!!!!!

While the Caesar salad was nice, I was quite disappointed with the pesto pasta. The portion was really small & not generous with the burrata, especially considering the price of $31 CAD. I expected better value for the cost. Overall, the meal did not meet my expectations, & I hope they improve the portion sizes & quality of the pasta dish in the future.
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.
