Nestled in Kensington, Fiore Fine Foods is your go-to Italian cafe for cozy morning pastries, hearty breakfast sandwiches, and handmade pasta, all served with warm vibes.
"Fiore offers a concise menu of handmade pastas and small-batch gelato, providing a modern take on Italian cuisine in Philadelphia." - Regan Stephens
"About 80% of the counter at Kensington’s Fiore is covered in Italian sweets like pistachio cornetti and torta della nonna that tastes more cookie-like than cake-esque. So you’ll have to fight the urge to keep adding things while you’re paying. Or don’t fight it. The baked goods here are better than anything else on the menu—though their sandwiches are fantastic, too. " - candis mclean, alison kessler
"The topography of a tomato pie can either hover in flat-earther territory or have some real height. And Fiore's version is perfectly inflated. This Kensington Italian cafe doesn't load up on sauce like most other spots do. Instead, the tomato sauce bakes into the bubbles and mounds on the crust's surface. But even if you eat the blistery crust last, like we do, you’ll still get plenty of tomato oomph." - candis mclean
"Fiore is the kind of place you want in every neighborhood. Their sandwiches and pastries are incredible, and they’re open on Mondays when almost everywhere else in Kensington is closed. Although they shut down at 3pm, Fiore's menu is varied enough to warrant multiple visits in one week. For breakfast, order a BEC with caramelized onions and a chai sugar donut. Then come back for a bubbly tomato pie, and walk out with some pasta for later or a fried chicken sandwich that's so thick, it looks like it never missed a chest day in the gym.

"This Italian cafe moved from Queen Village to Kensington in late 2023, and we're really excited about it. Although they close at 3pm, Fiore's menu is varied enough to warrant multiple visits in one week. For breakfast, order a BEC with caramelized onions and a chai sugar donut. Then come back for a bubbly tomato pie, and walk out with some pasta for later or a fried chicken sandwich that's so thick, it looks like it never missed a chest day in the gym.
