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 highly regarded for its authentic Italian cuisine, with many diners praising the exceptional wood-fired pizzas, fresh pasta, and high-quality ingredients. The restaurant offers a vibrant, lively atmosphere that serves as a perfect backdrop for social gatherings, and many visitors appreciate the warm, professional, and attentive service provided by the staff. While the establishment is frequently noted for being energetic and loud due to its popularity and music, most guests find the overall dining experience, combined with a curated selection of cocktails and wines, to be a highlight of their time in downtown Montreal.
Très belle expérience dans l'ensemble. La nourriture était bonne, nous avons pris des spaghettis sauce tomate avec burrata, mais il manquait un peu de saveur au niveau des épices, ce qui rendait le plat un peu fade.
Par contre, l'ambiance est excellente, parfaite pour une sortie entre amis ou un date. La musique est très bonne, peut-être légèrement trop forte car il faut parfois hausser la voix pour se parler.
Le service était impeccable, vraiment rien à redire. Une très belle soirée!
Had a great experience, our service was attentive & the crowd was energetic. They offer different types of night as they are open every day & night, so just make sure you know what kind of night you're looking for. Place is always full & lively, definitely a staple in this area. We will be back shortly.
Food was not great. We went here because of a hotel agent recommendation & it did not live up to the hype.
Food wasnt seasoned very well & the gnocchi were a huge let down.
The service was really bad. Very slow, & we only ate about half of each dish which should have led to some questions from our server & he didn't care.
La nourriture n'est pas top. Nous y sommes allées mes amies & moi, car une des trois a bien apprécié la viande une fois précédente, mais cette fois-ci elle en est sortie déçue.
Personnellement, j'ai eu des douleurs au ventre toute la nuit. J'ai pris un plat de fruits de mer frits.
Le volume de la musique est trop trop fort. C'est un resto pas une discothèque. Au resto avec des amies, on veut discuter, échanger & là on se trouve obliger de crier & de se répéter pour se faire entendre.
Avec mes amies, nous avons décidé de ne plus y aller.
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.
The food & drinks are great, & the service is attentive. However when the restaurant is full/busy it is unbearably loud. You have to yell at each other to have any type of conversation.
Food was good, but we got kicked out 11 minutes after our time was up, which we didn't know & none of the staff told us.
Very disappointed about this, specially since we ordered desserts & we were just enjoying them when the server started picking everything up & we knew something was up. 2 minutes later, the server told us that we needed to leave the table because the next reservation was here.
We will definitely not come back.
Had a terrible experience here at FIORELLINO MONTREAL but I wont even bother explaining why because after looking at reviews, it looks like the owner cannot take any sort of criticism or feedbacks whatsoever. Instead of taking responsibility, apologizing, & offering a solution to their customers who drive the business; they get defensive & argumentative. This is a first for sure. This is so ridiculous that I cannot help but laugh
