Fiore Fine Foods

"Fiore is selling some of the only gelato in town. Fortunately it happens to be some of the best. The Italian restaurant had already been selling its gelato in scoops and pints for about a year, so making it available for takeout now (and sending the proceeds directly to its staff) made sense. The flavors, like salted caramel or mint chip brownie, rotate each week. Follow Fiore on Instagram to see when new batches are released and then order online for pickup on weekends." - Sarah Maiellano

"Dinner for two at Fiore is an absolute comfort food fest, featuring focaccia, cacio e pepe fritelles, leek and tarragon lasagna, choice of braised beef cheeks or a whole grilled turbot, and so much more ($173 for two). Fittingly fancy upgrades for New Year’s Eve dinner include fresh black truffles and a caviar box." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

"When life gives you lemons, you make frozen Italian desserts. We know that’s not the saying, but we all know a spoonful of gelato is a lot better than any sip of lemonade. After opening in early 2019, Fiore made a name for itself serving up creamy tonnarelli, Pistachio cornetto, and wood-fired pizzas. When the pandemic closed their 80-plus-seat dining room, the all-day Italian spot started shelling out pints of gelati in mass. Earlier this year, I tried cookies and milk that was creamy, smooth, and flowing with bits of Oreo. With a weekly rotation of flavors, ranging from coquito to chocolate brownie meringue, check online for the current flavors of these sweet cups of magic. -CRM" - Carlo Mantuano, Candis Mclean

"Fiore’s Italian take on Hanukkah and Christmas classics brings kasha varnishkes on homemade pasta, perfectly crisp latkes, and housemade challah to the table. For Christmas Eve, opt for a black tea-spiced half duck with a wide variety of fixings. Don’t forget to stock up on pastries for both holidays." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

"For a $15 minimum order, bring mom some of Fiore’s coveted pastries, like pistachio cornetti, bomboloni with vanilla cream and rum caramel, savory spring herb scones, or a whole coconut cream pie. Order online in advance for pickup on Sunday, May 10." - Sarah Maiellano
