Une expérience si authentique qu’on la croirait importée d’Italie… ces quatre amis ont enfin réalisé ce rêve qui mijote depuis si longtemps …
Buonanotte, buonanotte Montréal, cette petite fleur est pour vous…
Fiorellino propose une ambiance italienne animée au cœur du centre-ville de Montréal, avec une énergie conviviale et un menu qui brille sur la pizza napolitaine cuite au four à bois ainsi que des plats de pâtes et gnocchi bien exécutés. La cuisine est louée pour des ingrédients frais et des saveurs marquées, et c'est généralement bien vu, tandis que les cocktails et la carte des vins sont appréciés, bien que certains clients trouvent les prix élevés ou les choix limités. Le service est parfois attentif et chaleureux, mais peut devenir lent ou distrait lorsque la salle est bondée, et plusieurs avis mentionnent de longs délais pour les plats ou une salle bruyante qui complique la conversation. Plusieurs retours mettent en avant le bar et l'ambiance globale comme points forts pour une soirée en tête-à-tête ou une célébration, tandis que d'autres avertissent que l'animation peut ne pas convenir pour un repas calme ou un service rapide. Dans l'ensemble, Fiorellino est un choix solide pour les amateurs de pizza et les soirées animées, offrant des plats de qualité et une atmosphère vivante, avec des réserves sur le bruit et le rapport qualité-prix lors des heures d'affluence.
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.
Had an amazing experience at Fiorellino! The atmosphere was vibrant & welcoming from the moment we walked in.
Patrick, our bartender, was absolutely incredible - knowledgeable, friendly, & clearly passionate about what he does. Every drink he made was perfectly balanced & beautifully presented. You can tell he takes pride in his craft.
The charcuterie board was delicious - fresh, high-quality ingredients, great variety, & beautifully arranged. It paired perfectly with the cocktails.
If you're heading to Fiorellino, definitely grab a seat at the bar & ask for Patrick. We'll 100% be back!
Fiorellino is a quintessential Montréal spot! It's gorgeous, perfectly located downtown, & always buzzing with energy. I've been coming here since 2016, & it remains a staple for a great pizza in Montréal!
The Vibe & Service:
I almost always visited on Friday or Saturday evenings, & you should know: it is packed & very loud. They did have a DJ playing music (vibes 10/10), which creates a great atmosphere, but the tables are very close to each other, so expect an intimate (& noisy) experience!
Logistics can be a bit of a shuffle. This time we had a 7:00 PM reservation for six people, but still spent 10 minutes huddled in the cold, cramped entryway before being moved to the bar. We weren't seated at our actual table until 20-30 minutes past our reservation time. Service over the years has been consistently'average' but functional, but definitely felt the pressure of the weekend rush.
The Food & Drinks:
The food is the saving grace. The cocktails are fantastic & well-crafted. The pizza is the absolute star as the dough is incredibly light & airy with that perfect wood-fired char. I've tried the gnocchi & the polpete (meatballs) in the past; they are delicious, though definitely on the pricier side for the portions.
Verdict:
Go for the incredible pizza & the energy. It's a great spot if you're looking for a lively weekend scene, but just don't expect a quiet conversation or a perfectly timed table!
Très accueillant, organisé & bienveillant. J'ai mangé un superbe risotto au bar accompagné d'un verre de vin que l'équipe m'as aider à choisir. J'ai apprécié le tiramisu mais en ai manger des meilleurs. Je ne sais pas dire ce qui manquait dans celui là. J'y retourne rapidement pour comparer !
Patrick was an excellent bartender who made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, & clearly knew what he was doing. Every drink was perfectly made & served promptly. Patrick created a welcoming, fun atmosphere at the bar. I would absolutely come back & recommend him to anyone.

Worst waitress ever. No one even acknowledged us when we came in, & we had a reservation. Our waitress was extremely rude; she pulled the menu out of our hands, barely cared to serve us, & did not even check in or let us order an appetizer. We told her about a serious allergy, & she messed up the order & did not care to even acknowledge it when we asked if it was wrong; our friend was very sick. She continued to have short responses & a passive-aggressive attitude. For such a pricey restaurant, I expected to be treated better. The food was great, but the service was awful & very rude. Would never come back.
Amazing time celebrating my wife's birthday! PATRICK our server was hands down one of montreals finest waiters. A newly graduated sommelier & creative genius behind the bar. Patrick was patient & very helpful in guiding us in the right direction when it came to both drinks & food. We let this fine gentleman pick our wine pairing & he hit it out of the park. The food was great but the service was even better. My inlaws who are fresh back from Italy said it was the closest they got to tasting the motherland in Montreal. We will be back as long as Patrick is serving us !
Amazing drinks & staff! The staff was so nice & attentive. We cannot say enough good things about the head bartender who served us (the one who curates the drink menu). He had SO much knowledge & great suggestions on drinks & food & made our experience!!! We all had multiple of the signature cocktails & each one was fantastic. All the food was great, & the DJ added such a unique touch to the experience. The food came quick, & was all delicious. Will definitely be coming again!
The wait staff are super rude to solo diners, forcing them to sit at the bar even when there are plenty of tables available. This is apparently routine behaviour, according to the friend I was staying with, who has also dined there solo a few times & has stopped going there. I was sitting for over 10 min before anyone even gave me a menu, then asked if I was ready to order. I said yes, then asked a question about the wines, & the server left without taking my order. I had to ask another server if I could please order after another 20 min had gone by. The pizza I ordered was good, but very much underbaked & soggy in the middle. A large family with several screaming small children were immediately opposite, so that was my experience of the atmosphere. Would not go back.

Came in on a busy night & were happy to get a table right away. Our server was serving the whole bar top plus our section so service was a bit slow, but food came out quickly. He recommended the ragu pasta & it was amazing! We also loved the mushroom tagliatelle & Caesar salad. The cheesecake on special was criminally small, but absolutely delicious. The food is definitely the highlight here, service was friendly & personable but more staff could help with speed. The menu could also be changed online, I had my heart set on a dish only to find that the menu had changed!
After landing in Montreal from Australia we were looking for a quick meal…. We hit the jackpot! The food was delicious, amazing pizza, fantastic gnocchi & the service was outstanding!
We sat at the bar & chatted with Patrick who was so great to talk to. His knowledge of the drinks was second to none.
We went back the second night & will be going back for a third, if not fourth before we leave!!
Superbe pizzeria à pâte monde, ambiance feutrée comme je les aime. On peut être au bar avec les écrans pour les matchs importants, au comptoir pour regarder les pros de la pizza ou en salle avec des amis. Un incontournable chaque fois que j'y vais.

Really good food & ambience, but TERRIBLE SERVICE. Food came in wrong order (main before appetizers, they wouldn't bring water, we ordered chilli oil multiple times & they forgot to bring it until our pizza was already done. They barely came to our table of 12 people.
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
