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.
Le seul point positif : mes gnocchis 🙃 Nous avions réservé une table pour 20:30 & nous avons été assis à presque 21:30. Pour moi c'est inacceptable. Aucune compensation proposée pour ce delai. Super bonne musique mais trop forte pour ce type de resto, difficile de jaser sans crie
Nous allions voir un spectacle au Mtelus. Nous cherchions donc un restaurant qui se fait à pied de là-bas. C'était notre première fois au Fiorellino & nous sommes tombés sous le charme de cet endroit. J'ai pris la pizza formaggio di Capra (pizza à la saucisse italienne & fromage de chèvre) & mon conjoint a pris les gnocchi di ricotta Les portions sont généreuses & chaque bouché est un vrai régal. Vous devez absolument essayer les pizzas pour tester leurs croûtes. Nous avons terminé le repas avec une mignonne tarte au citron qui était tout aussi délectable. Nous vous recommandons donc ce restaurant sans aucune hésitation.

The pasta was amazing, really cute & lively place! Great service & vibes overall. Busy on a Saturday night but was able to get seated at the bar immediately.
When we arrived-on time for our reservation-we waited at the entrance for a long time before anyone came to seat us. The hostess was polite & professional, but after a few moments at the 2-top, constantly repeating what we'd just said, we thought it might be easier to hear each other if we sat at one of the sidewalk tables, so we asked for that. The hostess was very nice, & walked us back through the restaurant, out the front door, & over to a lovely 2-top on the sidewalk-a treat on a balmy September evening. Anyway. The restaurant leaves its street-facing doors open so as to bring fresh air into the space; while we still heard a serious roar going on inside, it was a big improvement, sound-wise. That said, there were numerous customers sitting inside & welcoming additional members of their raucous party who yelled to late arrivals to skip the front door & "Just walk through right here, that's what we did!", which meant my chair was bumped into, over & over, by diners who were too lazy to walk through the front door. The hips of one customer thumped me so hard, she caused me to spill my wine. The service was friendly, but the food orders were very delayed: fritti misti (fried zucchini, calamari, & a couple of small shrimp), while tasty, was delivered by someone other than the original waitperson, & was sadly lukewarm-to-cold. Fritti misti should be served super-hot! This was on a Monday night, too, so I can only imagine how things would be on a weekend night. My burrata app was chewy & tough, though the peach & tomato salad surroundings were tasty. For an appetizer costing in the high $20s, I'd expect fresh (soft!) burrata. The mushroom tagliatelle was tasty but extremely oily. My partner's rigatoni alla vodka was excellent, as was his cannoli. As I sipped my espresso, yet another patron exited through the French doors, slamming into my back. I'd had enough. I said, "The front door is OVER THERE!" & she charmingly stuck her middle finger in my face.
La nourriture est excellente, tout comme les boissons ! Je recommande à 100%. L'atmosphère est aussi superbe. Cependant, nous avons voulu continuer le repas & prendre des desserts mais pas le temps apparemment ... On nous a mis dehors pour laisser la table à d'autres personnes. Cela faisait exactement 1h20 que nous étions à table. On a demandé à parler au responsable qui n'a même pas daigné venir. Il passait à côté de la table sans venir, comme s'il s'en fichait. J'aimais beaucoup cette place mais je n'y mettrai plus les pieds à cause de cette expérience ... Sinon le reste est superbe 😉
L'ambiance est top & le resto n'est pas trop bruyant. La salle est assez grande pour déguster dans de bonnes conditions la pizza cuite au four à bois. La diavolo est très bonne mais aurait mérité être plus chaude, c'était peut être lié au froid ambiant.
