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.
We had a reservation on a busy night & weren't even spoken to until 15 min after it was booked for, only to be told it was going to be a 30 minute wait for a table, regardless of our reservation. We opted to leave because we were already very hungry. Just something to keep in mind if you are looking to be seated at the time of your reservation on a busy night!
The owner is a total jerk. Tried to get a table, he said they were booked. Lots of empty tables outside. Maybe he doesn't know what fully booked means. Not returning, there are a lots of nicer places in Montreal compared to this middle of nowhere dump.
J'ai fait une réservation pour le mardi à 17h30. J'ai apprécié que ma demande pour une table près des fenêtres ait été respectée. L'expérience culinaire fut très agréable. Cependant, mon expérience s'est détériorée lorsqu'un employé m'a suggéré une boîte pour emporter alors que j'étais en pleine discussion avec mon amie. Peu de temps après, notre serveuse nous a demandé si nous voulions autre chose. Nous avons demandé la carte des desserts. En nous apportant les desserts, notre serveuse nous a informé que les réservations étaient de 90 minutes & qu'elle allait nous apportez nos factures afin de payer. Nous avons payé nos factures avant même d'avoir terminé nos desserts. C'est honteux. Je suis au courant que les réservations de 90 minutes sont des pratiques courantes dans plusieurs restaurants. Alors, j'invite votre restaurant à informer clairement la clientèle au moment de la réservation. Cela éviterait des situations embarrassantes comme celle-ci.
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.
Quel magnifique restaurant près du centre ville. Le service est incroyable, la nourriture est délicieuse & l'ambiance est vraiment cool. Mention spéciale pour les cocktails, la carte est originale & le goût est super! Merci à l'équipe & au barman Benjamin :)
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.
