Fiorellino comes across in reviews as a buzzy downtown Italian spot where the pizza is the star and the vibe is warm, lively, and often loud. Guests rave about the wood-fired crust, light dough, and flavorful pastas and gnocchi, with numerous dishes praised for freshness and presentation; the antipasti, salads, and desserts also get favorable mentions. The drinks program is highlighted for well-crafted cocktails and a thoughtful wine list, though some note a limited selection by the glass and a bustle around bar service. Service is generally described as attentive and friendly, with several servers and bartenders going above and beyond, while other visits report long waits for food or a crowded, noisy dining room that makes conversation difficult. Reservations are advised, especially on weekends, and the atmosphere is considered ideal for a lively date night or group outing rather than a quiet meal. Overall, Fiorellino is seen as a delicious, high-energy Italian option in the city, offering excellent pizza and strong hospitality with some variability in pace and acoustics.
Decent restaurant, ambience is lacking, especially if you're in the tables in the middle of the dining room. Starters were excellent! The pizza was just okay, very watery, over-oiled, & a very thin crust. Food is very pricey for what you get, almost $30 for the three meatballs.

Excellente nourriture & très belle ambiance, mais j'ai été très déçu du service. La serveuse était sèche & peu sympathique tout au long de la soirée. Lorsque j'ai mentionné que c'était l'anniversaire de mon amie, elle m'a dit qu'elle apporterait un "petit quelque chose". Plus tard, je reçois ma facture, puis je découvre qu'elle avait ajouté le dessert de la fêtée sur ma facture, mais elle ne me l'avais jamais mentionné ou validé avec moi que ça convenait. C'est la première fois que cela m'arrive dans un restaurant, & je trouve cela assez ordinaire étant donné que j'ai pris la parole pour le groupe. J'aurais du moins, au minimum, pu être avertie ou consultée à l'avance. J'apprécie toujours mes soirées au Fiorellino, mais ai été déçue du service reçu :
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.
Réservation à 19h un mardi 2 octobre. Beaucoup d'attente pour nos plats. Les pâtes étaient froident. Un des cuisinier vapotait dans la cuisine. Le serveur ne connaissait pas ses vins. Par chance qu'il y avait sa collègue pour veiller au service d'eau. Ambiance parfaite Pizza délicieuse Pizzaiolo très professionnel !

Nous avons été littéralement oubliés. À tel point que je ne savais même pas qui était notre serveur ou serveuse. Nous avons eu trois personnes différentes : une pour l'eau au début, une pour prendre la commande, & une autre pour nous apportez l'addition. & à chaque étape, nous avons dû réclamer le service. J'aurais aimé prendre un deuxième verre, commander un dessert, mais l'attente était si longue que je craignais de rater mon spectacle. Si mon fiancé n'était pas allé voir le gérant, je me demande combien de temps cela aurait duré encore... On m'a offert 2 chocolats à la fin, probablement pour "s'excuser." Par contre, la nourriture était bonne.
The food was very average, the portions were small & the prices steep. We were a group of girls & received awful service. The music is also so loud you can't hear the person next to you. Would not go back
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.
Music was club-level loud when we first got in but got better throughout the night. Service was okay, small waits whenever we needed help. Food was good enough.
