Fiorellino est une adresse italienne prisée au centre de Montréal, où les pizzas au four à bois et les pâtes fraîches séduisent par leur pâte légère et leurs saveurs riches. Les avis soulignent une ambiance chaleureuse et festive, idéale pour une soirée entre amis, mais le niveau sonore peut être élevé, surtout le weekend lorsque la musique et un DJ prennent le dessus. Le service est généralement attentif et accueillant, mais des périodes de fort afflux entraînent des retards et une impression de service pressé. Le rapport qualité-prix varie: pizzas et plats signature sont souvent loués, certaines portions de pâtes pouvant sembler petites ou chères, et les desserts ou vins font parfois l objet de critiques. Des expériences négatives mentionnent parfois un accueil insuffisant de la part de la direction ou des temps d attente importants, tandis que d autres soulignent des serveurs compétents qui guident le choix des plats et des boissons et font tout pour que l expérience reste agréable. Réservation recommandée car l endroit est très fréquenté et les places partent vite. En somme, Fiorellino offre une expérience gourmande et vivante avec des plats italiens de qualité et une énergie forte, idéale pour une soirée animée et des pizzas et pâtes à tester, tout en restant conscient que l ambiance peut être bruyante et que le service peut varier selon l 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.
Our reservation was for 7:00 pm-we were seated at 7:15 & had our order in by 7:30. By 8:00, we still did not get our food & we were told our food had been accidentally given to another table. It honestly felt like our order may not have been put in at all. Both were frustrating. Our food was served to us by 8:30pm. Throughout the evening, service was lacking-no water refills & very little check-in from our server.
Also disappointed, as we were celebrating a birthday & noticed other tables receiving a small dessert for special occasions, but nothing was acknowledged for us.
The food itself was good, but overpriced. The vibe is nice if you enjoy loud music.
I was really excited to try this place, but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. I won't be returning

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!
The vibe is warm & lively, just noisy enough to feel alive without being annoying. The service is fast, friendly, & doesn't overdo it. Big generous portions, high-quality ingredients, & flavors that actually feel legit. Honorable mention for the carrot cake…worthy of a sixth star on its own. Had a great time, thanks again!
Good pizza. Good service. Good vibes.
Minutes away from the Palais des Congres in Montreal walking.
This made it the perfect stop before heading home to Ottawa.
I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area.
The chef came out to make us try a special dish & wow. I'm speechless. This is a must try. The vibe, the staff, the ambiance is just special. Makes me feel like family. Must try!!!!!!
We went for dinner & it was a good experience. My friend & I ordered the burrata tomato basil pizza, the truffle linguine & the tiramisu. The food is simple & good. Everything is fresh, seasoned & tasty, but nothing is spectacular. The vibe was great & the service was great too. The servers were very attentive. In my opinion, they could elevate it a bit. All in all, it is good italian food.
Service is hard to beat, everyone from the dishwasher to the manager is on the ball. Food is great & the vibe is difficult to find in any other restaurant. Always an upbeat good looking crowd.
A very candid place to go grab food. Was there's on a friday night, there's a Dj & vibes starts around 9pm. The service is EXCELLENT & the food is just amazing, it's great quality italien food. Me & friends will definitely be back

In short: my food looked way better than it tasted. Would return, but would order something else. In long: the vibe is great. Music at a nice volume that blurs the conversations at neighboring tables; makes it feel private despite the seating being a bit tight in some spots. Waitress was very warm & friendly, but took long times between coming to check on me. Ordered the Tagliatelle con Funghi & was very disappointed. The mushrooms were very chewy & difficult to breakdown. In fact, most of them, I sat to the side of my dish after attempting to eat them. The dish did not have enough cheese or salt to cut the oil. I would have requested some cheese, salt, or red pepper to make it better but my server didn't come by until I was finished eating with the plate pushed away. Perhaps I ordered it on an off night, but I won't be getting it again to test my theory. Sadly, the best part of the meal was the water & the fact that I didn't pay for it.
The bartender, Patrick, is the man. Girlfriend & I came in for a drink as we were walking by, & stayed for hours just hanging out with him. Will not get better service than that dude. He knows the vibe.
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.
