The gnocchi was sublime & the ambience was fantastic. Bonus hint: remember to get the hot red pepper sauce & spread it on your pizza. Magnifique!View more
Came here for a corporate event so didn't order off the menu. Place was great though, good atmosphere, excellent food. We were a group of ~80 or so & the restaurant staff took things in stride, kept water & wine flowing, handled an initial round of cocktails smoothly, & the timing on the food was good.View more
Yesterday evening, a group of us enjoyed a delightful dinner at this restaurant. We started with Caesar salad & three different pizzas as starters, followed by a variety of pasta dishes including seafood, bolognese, tortellini, mushroom, & gnocchi, all of which were delicious. The service was excellent, with attentive staff, & the cozy atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be coming back in the future. I highly recommend this restaurant.View more
Loved everything about this place. The decor, the vibe, the food & the service. Every plate was delicious & fresh. The staff was well organized & friendly. A special thank you to Livia who was absolutely amazing throughout our dinner service.View more
Went with colleagues after work last Thursday for a drink. We ended up sharing a fritto misto & pizza della nonna & it was absolutely delicious. So good in fact that my colleagues took one to go! Pizza Magherita is my favourite & they have 5 varieties of it! Kudos also to Christian for being a great waiter.View more

No eggs! Reason, they didn't expect it to be so busy. Shouldn't be in restaurant business if you don't expect it to be busy on Mother's Day!View more
Hi the only issue I haded was after 1h30 I was told to leave me & my family were upset with this because no one told us that we have 1h30 to eatView more
I visited Fiorellino on Saturday night with my wife & friends. The hostess gave us the option to wait a few minutes for a table on the terrace, which we gladly accepted. While we were waiting, a man joined a family of six already seated inside. He approached the hostess & demanded a free table he had seen outside, loudly proclaiming that he knew the restaurant's director. The hostess calmly informed him that the table he saw was assigned to us & would be ready shortly after being cleaned. She suggested he wait a few minutes for another terrace table. His demeanor quickly changed; he became rude & impatient, insisting that he would not wait & demanded immediate seating, again mentioning his supposed connections. He even asked for the manager. When the manager arrived, he reiterated that they couldn't seat him immediately but assured him that a table was being prepared & would be ready soon. The man & his group stood in front of the entrance, obstructing the staff & loudly complaining that important people like them shouldn't have to wait. Throughout this ordeal, the hostess remained calm & professional, handling the situation with grace. She ensured we were seated as promised, which we deeply appreciated. Her actions exemplified fairness & reminded us of the respectful & equal treatment that is a hallmark of Canadian society. We felt proud & grateful for her kindness, although she left before we could thank her personally. I hope this comment reaches her someday. I frequently visit Fiorellino downtown for business meetings, probably more often than the man who thought money could buy respect, & will certainly continue to do so. The service was 5 stars & the food was amazing as usual .Grazie, miei amici italiani.View more
Really cute restaurant with great food. I ordered take away from here the first few times I ate from this restaurant. I went to eat in person for the first time recently & was extremely disappointed in the service. Our server's name was Emile. I usually would not note this down, but the way she handled our table was really poor. It took us 2.5 hours to get out of there because we routinely had to wait to get her attention while she was chatting with co-workers. It was not a busy night for the restaurant so I have little compassion for the slow service. I also work as a server in Montreal, & there is no other word to describe what happened as severely unprofessional. The only reason I didn't give less stars is because the bus boys ended up picking up the slack & were serving us better than she was.View more
One of my fave restaurants it's my friend's & I's go to!!! The pasta & pizza are always fresh & delicious. Other locations are always pretty busy but laurier always has place even on SaturdaysView more
Repas succulent avec de vraies pizzas italienne . Les pâtes sont très bonnes également. Choix de bon vin . A recommander sans hésitationView more
I hosted my bridal shower in the private area upstairs & it was a fantastic experience. Guests were commenting on how pleasant the waiter & waitresses were & how delicious the food was. The space itself was perfect for the event (we were about 40 people, but it can accommodate more). Overall, a great venue!View more
Jour de célébration pour mon amie K ! Devant une assemblée de plus de cinq cents personnes, elle a professé sa fois & est passée par les eaux du baptême. En proie à de vives émotions qui allaient en crescendo, l'adrénaline pompant à fond, elle eut, après la cérémonie, une sainte faim &, puisque c'était son grand jour, le choix du menu lui revenait : « des pâtes, des pizzas ! » « Le Bottega » lui proposa-t-on. « Le Gema ». Des choix convenables, certes, mais... moi, je tenais à essayer un nouvel endroit auquel je n'étais jamais allé. Après une brève recherche en ligne, le nom Fiorellino émergea & semblait faire parfaitement l'affaire : des pâtes, des pizzas ! À deux voitures, nous nous sommes acheminés en paire vers Laurier &, par hasard, nous avons tous deux abouti sur la rue Hutchinson où une jeune dame faisait ranimer la batterie de sa Fit. Une fois ramenée à la vie, un espace tout juste suffisamment pour nos deux véhicules s'était libéré. Je me suis stationné d'abord, le couple d'amis à ma suite. Quel coup de volant de la part de l'épouse ! Un positionnement en parallèle parfait avec un jeu de tout au plus une trentaine de centimètres. Son mari ne pouvait être plus fier d'elle. Continuant à pied jusqu'au restaurant, nous avons enfin pénétré dans une grande & chaleureuse salle à manger parée de bois, de blanc, de turquoise & de brique (LA grande tendance en décoration). Accolé au mur, un piano peinturé turquoise semblait être une relique de l'ancien Laurien BBQ. De nombreux conviés arrivaient, portant de volumineux cadeaux jusqu'au deuxième étage où était tenue une fête pour une future mariée. J'ignore si cette célébration accaparait beaucoup l'attention, mais les quatre d'entre nous avons constaté que l'exécution du service ne semblait pas des plus efficaces ni des plus empressées, nous faisant longuement patienter entre la commande & l'arrivée des plats. Quels plats ? Deux antipasti (une légère & agréable salade betteraves avec ricotta fouetté & une burrata agrémentée d'enlevantes croustilles de topinambour) précédèrent quatre mets plus consistants qui ont tous plus différemment à chacun d'entre nous, sans aucun clair gagnant : de fondants gnocchi de ricotta, les pappardelle bolognese me rappelant la lasagne de ma grand-mère, les pizzas diavola (rossa) & emilia (bianca), cette dernière délicieusement recouverte de fromage fior di latte & parmigiano. Je remercie ici à nouveau l'aimable employée du bar que je m'étais levé pour voir & qui m'a sagement orienté vers ces très bonnes options. Aucun d'entre nous n'a consommé d'alcool - mes trois compagnons du jour ont plutôt opté pour du café - mais cela n'a pas entaché notre plaisir. Dans mon cas, les prix m'ont carrément dissuadé. 19 $ pour une boisson dans un restaurant qui n'a pas nécessairement bâti sa réputation sur ses apéritifs fut suffisamment pour me faire dire « non, merci ! » Déjà que la facture commençait à gonfler avec nos antipasti à 22 & 28 $ respectivement... En somme, vous pourriez raisonnablement vous attendre à une facture de 50 $ par bouche sans consommation, avant taxes & pourboire. En conclusion, l'immense Fiorellino sur Laurier est une destination de choix pour vos célébrations spéciales & chacun saura trouver pizza ou pâtes à son palais, à condition d'y mettre le prix. Cependant, des tarifs plus abordables pour les boissons les rendraient plus attrayantes.View more
Slow service but delicious food & Italian is not even my favorite. We had pizza, pasta with mushrooms, & a beef tartare. Everything was excellent. We will definitely be back.View more
