Let’s start with great things . Service was very attentive! Impressive. Like the interior plates from ones not so much. Bread was great and pasta dough was fantastic. Now rest ? Not great . Definitely food was overpriced. Short ribs on the side of lack of taste, sauce for carbonara done with over dried cheese giving that odd taste , bacon bits not cured properly. Sauce for my ravioli had no balance. We ate it but definitely not coming back the 3 dishes were over 80 usd.

My fiancée and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary at Fiori last night, and we greatly enjoyed our time there. The atmosphere at the restaurant is very reminiscent of places we visited while abroad in Europe, and was also very romantic. Our table was in a nice, secluded area as requested, and we were greeted with a sweet message and flower petals on the table. Milka was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. We both went with the tasting experience after she recommended it to us, and we were not disappointed! The quality of the food was superb and authentic, and the portions were very appropriate for each dish. My favorite part of the meal was the risotto, and my fiancée really enjoyed the octopus. We were also lucky enough to meet Fiori’s wine importer who gave us excellent wine recommendations to accompany our meal. I finished the evening with a pistachio gelato which was fantastic, and I also was able to taste the chocolate cake which was phenomenal. The staff were all very attentive and friendly, and the chef/ owner also greeted us and thanked us for visiting his restaurant. We will definitely be back, and have already recommended Fiori to several of our friends. If you want authentic Italian food in Houston - this is the place to go.

My husband and I celebrated our 26th anniversary there and the staff made our experience super special. The food is delicious and the atmosphere was great. Our waitress Teresa was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely go back.

I tried four items at this restaurant. The appetizer—two small slices of melon with prosciutto—was priced at $22, which felt excessive for the portion. The carbonara was overly salty, though the lobster ravioli was enjoyable, albeit quite small. I also had a glass of Chardonnay, which was fine. While the service was mediocre, the food overall didn’t justify the high prices. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t return based on the value and portion sizes. Didn't get a chance to take a picture of melon.

I visited recently over the weekend and had a very pleasant experience. My party and I started off with the Cozze Alla Marinara(the only photo I took because I was with great company). They were amazing! They were from Maine and so the flavor was very neutral, with a slight sweetness, and cooked with a garlic, chili flakes and white wine sauce…ask for bread to finish off the delicious sauce! Dinner was the Cotoletta Alla Milanese Con Rucola. This is a fried coated veal chop served with a spring mix salad. The chop was a sizeable portion and very tender. One thing to note- the flavors are subtle because the chef wants his guests to experience the quality in the food and presents a more natural approach to his flavors and cooking. Thank you, to our amazing server, Milka for explaining this and always checking in with us, as well as her wine suggestions-we chose Chianti and were not disappointed. We also ordered the Carbonara guanciale (pasta with cured pork cheek). This was flavor forward with the cured meat and deliciously creamy, paired with the slightly pungent flavor of the Pecorino Romano cheese. Yummm! Dessert was the tried and true Tiramisu! This is normally not my go-to, but it was very good! The coffee was very rich and the creamy marscapone blended perfectly in this dessert. We had an amazing meal and I will definitely be returning to enjoy more of this small, but inviting place! Reservations are highly recommended if you have a larger table-quite a few regulars there, so that was a great sign 😊

We had a wonderful experience on Fiori's rooftop! Excellent service and cuisine! My partner and I shared a salad, then she had the spinach & mozzarella ravioli, and I had the short rib ravioli. Both were delicious! (I was lucky enough to be able to try both dishes!) For dessert, we had Affogato Al Caffè and some raspberry gelato. Perfect end to the meal. We will definitely be back, especially as the restaurant is walking distance from our place.

The food was great. We had an issue with the bill that we didn’t notice till we got home but after we brought it to their attention, they took care of it. The music was a touch loud.

If you want a true Italian dining experience, Fiori is the place to be. As an Italian, I can confidently say it’s hard to find a better spot for authentic Italian food in Houston. But a word of advice: don’t ask the chef to add chicken to your cacio e pepe, and forget about chicken Parmesan—those dishes aren’t Italian. At Fiori, it’s all about authenticity. From the food to the atmosphere to the service, everything is just as it should be: genuine, passionate, and unmistakably Italian.

Came here on a Saturday and it was pretty empty. Super cute interior with lots of plants. We ordered the croissant basket and prosciutto sandwich. The basket was just 2 croissant which was disappointing considering it was $18. Sandwich was good but the potatoes were a bit bland. Croissant was delicious along with the butter and jam but wish we got at least 3. Would love to come back and try their dinner menu!

Came here for a baby shower and was had high hopes it was going to be a hit since I was recommended by a good friend, but was let down immensely. We came with a party of 11. I made our reservation 2 months in advance. Initially everything was smooth making the reservation. I requested for a floral arrangement and I was told that their floral lady no longer works there or is contracted there. No biggie, they said they were still able to accommodate my floral arrangement, sweet! Upon arrival, our table was set up but my floral arrangement for the table was not set up. I asked the server, who by the way was the only server there on a weekday said he did not know of any floral arrangements for the table. He went to the back and found 1 floral arrangement wrapped in the fridge. He began to state that he did not know how to set up a table arrangement and that he would try his best. It was a kind gesture and he also said he would comp the arrangement. He also stated that I could talk to the manager but the manager did not speak a word to me and did not make any eye contact. The server even said "I don't know why he's not talking to you and just talking to me". It was the most sexist and narcissistic interaction I've ever faced. The food was really good, but it was not worth the chaotic and unorganized experience. I will not be returning.

Very bland and disappointing. No one in our party finished their main dishes and we ended up eating elsewhere afterwards.

Not impressed. We had a birthday dinner here and everything was so pricey for not even being average. It is a great atmosphere but the food is not worth the splurge. My friends complained the ravioli was cold and another, her Carbonara was extremely salty. Our waiter also seemed to be out of it and a little awkward, which is okay but I think all of it paired together just made a underwhelming experience

I went here for my birthday brunch. The food was delicious and the service was great. Very nice environment and aesthetically pleasing. I would definitely go back. But I would not go with a group again. If you're like me and have different friend groups who like to try new places, this can be challenging because they only split the check evenly. And that's difficult for people who don't know each other. My one friend got dessert, she said it was a delicious tiramisu but she ended up paying $84 for it because of their check policy. So it is not ideal for groups of people who are not close friends or family. I thing or at least I would not recommend for that. It's important for me if I'm with business associates or colleagues too that we are all able to get a separate receipt for business tracking and tax purposes so be prepared for that if with a group of 4 or more there is also a service charge in addition to an expected gratuity. So I would go back but probably with 1 or 2 close friends instead of a meet up or

I really love this place for authentic Italian food. I took my friend here and he's from Italy and he was taking pictures and showing them to his mom. I really like their prosciutto and cheese appetizer. On Tuesdays you can get a spaghetti trio, which is really great I like how they make their noodles al dente Def try the Nduja risotto and the short rib ravioli (amazing) Nduja is a spicy sausage imported from Italy. I personally love the vibe inside it's super quaint, and the service is amazing and warm. It feels like home here. Alessio I'd the chef! He's awesome!

Atmosphere and ambiance was elegant. The ricotta appetizer was the highlight. Main course was heavy on the salt.

We wanted this place to be great but unfortunately we found the experience to be fairly average. The best part of this restaurant was the ambiance. It's very cute and will definitely look great in your photos. The flowers are great. The location too is very cool. Parking is kind of an issue, but thankfully we were able to walk over. They had a very thinly sliced butter bread for us to start off with at the table and I thought it was unique and great. Our appetizer was these small ricotta balls. They were good, but I was hoping for a little more for the price. My wife ordered the fettuccine Al pesto. I thought it was pretty good but my wife didn't love it. The pesto was clearly made in house and I thought it was decent. I ordered the pasta carbonara. While I didn't love it, I did get it made vegetarian. I'll hold off on being too judgmental considering I changed the dish. For the price I would hope to be blown away by my experience and I just didn't feel that way about this place. The service was a little below what I would expect. Our waitress was pleasant but just wasn't as responsive to getting us what we needed. I had to ask 2 people and wait a long time to get crushed red pepper flakes. Our waitresses packed up our to go box but then didn't bring us our check. Again, I didn't have a bad experience, but it wasn't to the level I think it should have been at. They looked short staffed and the people they did have seemed a little inexperienced to be working at a nice place like this. I would consider coming back in the hopes this was an isolated mediocre experience. I think this place has a lot of potential and would love for it to be a place we could come to regularly inside the loop.

After my previous review the owner messaged me this, still 1 star. I can't believe he went out of his way to send this, very unprofessional but this aligns with my initial impression.

I was here for an engagement dinner and by the end of the night felt like we were friends with the staff and the chef. Everybody was so attentive and nice. The restaurant itself is very clean and charming and overlooks Montrose. They have a patio right by the sidewalk and there is an upstairs area which I assume is for larger parties. Of course, their food and drinks are great too. I had the Salmon which was cooked perfectly and much better than the salmon I've been cooking up on the old air fryer at home! Seriously though, some people judge a restaurant by their steaks but I think cooking salmon perfectly is a whole other level of talent. Parking kind of sucked on a Saturday night but I saw there was valet and apparently the Chase lot is open for use as well, but might want to double check. I found street parking one street over.

Flori is a true hidden gem for authentic Italian cuisine. On Valentine's Day, I was out of town and couldn't have our annual dinner. I flew back in this weeke they unknowingly hosted our special dinner. The complimentary champagne set the tone, and the impeccable service made the evening memorable. The chef's visit to our table added a personal touch, and every dish was a delightful journey of flavors. As a sweet farewell, they gifted us roses from their fresh flower store. Flori's genuine care for their patrons truly shines through every aspect of the dining experience.

Pretty little welcoming gem from Italy, which was a great find for our Christmas dinner. It has a great vibe and inviting fresh floral decor around. Must say that it has a great potential if it improves its service. Servers were slow but very polite. Perhaps it was over busy for them. Dec 25th was a chilly evening. We booked in advance & were seated by the door, that opened after every few minutes, which was annoying. We requested a different table as it was really cold, but were told nothing was available. We could wait as soon after us few proper tables got available. But seems they didn't care. After seating, it took them 15 minutes to bring water & take our order. We ordered Artisanal sourdough bread with olive oil, Burata pesto, Tagliolini al prosciutto di Parma, Fried lamb chops, Crostini & Carbonara. Some of the things we wanted were already out at 7:30 PM, like chocolate cake, appetizer with avocado & prawns and Tartare di tonno. However, after over an hour they served it to a guest. Not one plate but three plates. Perhaps they were chef/ owners friends. It was lil disappointing as we only wanted one plate. Overall whatever was available was delicious. But if we come back we will make sure to book a table upstairs and will come before 7pm for dinner so we are served what we want. A must try May be on a less busy evening

Dear Alessio, Wow!! The audacity to reply to my review with MORE LIES!! To anyone reading this--- read the reviews and you will come across more experiences telling you how horrible the ownership and management is here as well as the RESPECT. I have multiple witnesses that YOU never met with ME! I watched you come out of the office, speak to the bartender and then LEAVE. Not knowing who you were is when I requested to talk to a manager when she then replied you had left. After doing research on your restaurant and recognizing your picture I then realized you were the owner & mod and proceeded to leave your staff in a horrible situation to handle on their own. And now to lie about it--- SHAME ON YOU! I WAS NEVER OFFERED A DISCOUNT OR A BOTTLE OF WINE. I WAS OFFERED FLOWERS. which I replied to what are flowers going to do for me. And to my guest who called to speak with you-- you cussed her out and hung up. Oh yes your very professional. Yes this occasion happened in FEBRUARY-- but what does that matter.... You just proved your horrible management ONCE AGAIN... Very clear you take NO ownership and have no respect and quite frankly are an embarrassment to the restaurant group for the rest of who have better hospitality sense. Best of luck to you.. ‍

Service was good food was really bad. I don't eat pasta or seafood so ordered chicken breast, the worst ever..how does a restaurant screw up a chicken breast. We ordered mussels for an appetizer and they were all bad, not fresh at all and very fishy smelling. Not edible at all. We also ordered brussel sprouts, they were undercooked, no seasonings and just plain awful. The carrots were delicious probably the only item I would ever order there again but not going to happen as we won't be back. Very pricy and not good at all, they won't be there long at all. A huge speaker was brought in while we were dining and the music was way off and really bad sounding. The sun was in my eyes half of the time we were there with no shade on the windows as the sun was low and setting. As we walked into the restaurant the hostess never got off her chair, she never got up at all and greeted people while sitting on a high bar stool, just awful. We tried but just like the restaurant next door this place will be closing their doors soon as well.

Stars for ambiance and overall feel of the restaurant, it has a very romantic vibe and would make for an aesthetic location for a date. However, food wise, not the most memorable. I got the linguine alle pescatore. The seafood was all fresh and not overcooked, but the pasta sauce was bland and needed more seasoning, which I asked for separately. Don't think I'll be giving this place another try.

Worst experience for a restaurant. Went for Vale tune. Prepaid and reserved 3 weeks in advanced. Had to wait 1 hours to be seated. After 45 min we got water served. Wine was already paid and selected and we never got it. After 1 hours waiting for service we left. Chef didn't care about people leaving. Several table went out minutes before the food were served. Worst experience in a restaurant in Houston. PS, the barman was drinking while working as week and giving away free food from the appetizers that people left behind. Horrible.

My first thought coming into Fiori was how pretty the restaurant was. The flowers and lighting with all of the windows make the restaurant super open and homey. That coupled with the music makes the restaurant a very intimate and comfortable place. The upstairs has a similar feel to it, but matches more of a vibe for a date night dinner. They also have a pretty patio that you can eat out on, but the view just looks out toward the street so it's not that special. The staff was super friendly and easy to make conversation with. (especially coming from Gatsbys next door who was very dismissive towards it's guests) We tried the limoncello flight, which included a plain limoncello shot, a tequila version, and the bartenders own creation, a gingercello which was super delicious. As we ordered drinks, they also provided us with some complimentary bread which was very thoughtful and surprised us. We also had dinner plans for after, but we happily ended up pushing it back because we were having such a nice time at Fiori. We also ended up trying some other drinks and a mini charcuterie board, all very delicious. The food and drinks hold up on their own, but it's really the service we received which wow-ed us. Shout out to Alan! I highly recommend this spot and will definitely come again if I visit Houston again.

Big big fan of Fiori it's a dream of a place with a full bar, beautiful flowers and great fresh Italian food! The Bruschetta Pomodoro Rucola was so nice and bright and a great starter for the meal. Their ravioli di magro e mozzarella was just amazing it tasted so fresh and light I just wish there were a few more on the plate. The Branzino alla griglia was cooked perfectly and something I look forward to having again with my next visit. Their Carote artists should not be over looked at all. I would highly recommend it as I continuously think about it and try to recreate it at home. The carrots are just the perfect sweetness and texture and the olive oil just makes it all so delicious. I as well have bought flowers there and they have such a great selection!! I included some photos of that. The bar I have not explored greatly but I did try their limoncello flight and found out the bartender made some of them himself!! They were delicious! Such a well put together place I hope to be back soon and maybe explore the second floor and dessert menu!

The good: ambience is good here. The inside is cute, it could be a good spot. It's small, but could be intimate and cozy. The location is good as well. It is in Montrose and easy to get to if you live close. We had reservations for Christmas Day but had to change them (due to a movie running late) but they happily accommodated. We were concerned but it was easy and painless and they were understanding. The not so good: We went on Christmas Day and expected a bit of a crowd. It was actually not busy at all - which made us assume the service would be better than expected. It was not. I guess they had multiple servers across all the tables. The first server was not friendly. They took a lot of time to come back and forth to the table. The other server was more attentive and very friendly but couldn't really help the overall vibe since the initial experience wasn't great and she just randomly popped in. We expected better service considering the fact that there weren't more than 3 tables. We ordered two cocktails to start, one was a Negroni (which is a favorite of ours). It came out and was not good at all. The ratio wasn't right and it just didn't taste like a classic Negroni should. No big deal (it happens) but at $15 I did ask them to switch it for something else. The server was apologetic and was more than happy to switch it out. However, the bartender came to the table after hearing it. The first thing he asked was "have you ever had a Negroni before?" And then told us about how his brother loves them and has never complained. Then he suggested the Negroni wasn't good bc "we didn't specify the gin we wanted". It wasn't about the gin. It just wasn't made well (again which is fine - it's not their specialty) but to come over and get defensive or question if we ever had one seems a bit rude and unnecessary. It was condescending. It felt like he was suggesting we didn't know what the drink was more than he didn't know how to make one. It was awkward. He talked too much and didn't seem interested in any real feedback. The food was fine. One dish was the Branzino and it was fine. We didn't finish it because it did lack flavor but the fish and pasta were cooked great. We ate the fish and left the pasta because of flavor. The other dish was lasagna - it was good, not great, but because we didn't finish the branzino we shared the lasagna dish. At this price point I'd suggest other places. It's not bad but we spent $160 after tip (with the drinks) and didn't finish two complete meals. We ended up getting home still hungry and looked on UberEats for delivery options.

Went for the first time yesterday and had a great experience! Our servers name was Albert and he was amazing! He was very informative, clean, and his attitude was very sweet. I've worked for a few Italian chefs/restaurants so it was nice to have a server who knew/enjoyed talking about the cuisine and wines they offered. He was very well versed on different dishes, the flavor profiles (wines/dishes), pronunciation of the dishes was spot-on, and he knew the history of certain dishes in-house and ones they didn't offer as well. *Would highly recommend him as a server of choice* As for the food it was delicious! We had the Burrata Fritta, Carbonara, and the Tagliolini al prosciutto di Parma. They were all very well executed, lots of flavor points, fresh and hot, also very well presented. They also have live music which was nice for a change compared to radio music. Overall we had a wonderful experience and I also received a fresh flower at the end of my dinner which was above little surprise. I look forward to coming back.

Hey y'all. I'm back. I know it's been a while since I posted I guess today is the day. Run, don't walk to Fiori. I've passed this place a dozen times and always said I wanted to go. My dear sweet friend is getting married and I has the honor of hosting her Bridal Shower. From my first call to the restaurant, they were accommodating, friendly and so willing to help plan the event. I reserved space upstairs and on the day of they said the upstairs patio was available. There's a florist on site so I was able to get a custom floral arrangement for the table ( bride ). We were able to customize a menu for our guest to choose from ( since we were paying it was a great way to manage the budget). We started with a charcuterie board and Prosecco to start. We had a variety of pastas, avocado toast, salads and a few other items. Every dish was pleasing to our guest. They allowed us to bring in our own cake and our waiter Ruben was absolutely the best. He was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Ruben made the event even more special. The owner was on site and made sure he introduced himself. My only regret was that I hadn't come here sooner. They embodied good customer service. Thank you to the entire staff, our future bride and guest were all very happy.

What a great experience. The food is amazing and the service is very personal. Let' s be clear, FIORI is the ANTI_CHAIN restaurant. Chef Alessio puts his heart into every dish and his years in Rome. WIth dishes reminiscent of hanging out around The Forum or a cafe near the Coliseum. The starters (Primi) are wonderful and fresh, the mains (Secondi) reward in a way not of often found in big large restaurants. All of the dishes please but my favorite is the Spaghetti Bolognese. And don't miss dessert! This is truly a neighborhood gem as evidenced by the local crowd. Treat yourself...

The food here was not good at all. The plates were all unseasoned, the people in my party that got seafood said it was rotten and had to send it back. We went for a birthday so many people tried many dishes and none were well cooked. The only thing the place has going is the decor. The restaurant was completely empty other than us on a Friday night which is a red flag! The waitress kept pushing us to buy alcohol every time she came to the table even after we told her we did not want any. Update based on reply from owner: we did not go to this restaurant this last Friday, it was on June 30th. It was totally empty.

Tables and menu were very dirty. We ordered the mussels, they were very watery and undercooked, the worst I ever had , I ordered pasta with sausage. No sausage whatsoever, the pasta looked disgustingly red.Service was average. Lexi was attentive but nothing above what it is expected. They have tables on the patio and you can smell the sewer . I saw how they keep offering that table to 3-4 patrons and they keep moving as we did because of the smell. Bread was ok , but you have to ask for it and they charge you 3.50 for 3 slices of sourdough. With so many options to go in the area it was bad luck for us that we ended up eating there. Please save yourself a bad experience and do not go there.

This restaurant is beautiful! Lots of natural light, flowers, and plants. My friend and I visited for Houston Restaurant Weeks (HRW) for lunch. We had a late lunch so essentially we had the downstairs portion to ourselves. Our server was really sweet and kind. The food left more to be desired. There is definitely potential, but the only thing I really enjoyed was the gelato! The gelato was so delicious! I tried the walnut and lemon flavors. I'd return for the gelato and try the hazelnut next time. We tired the artichokes, bruschetta, a pasta, and I had the salmon and salad. They were ok. They also have a coffee shop. While I didn't try the coffee, I'd come back for that and gelato.

I am dying to give this restaurant 5 stars, but I just cannot as it would be unfair to other restaurants that check every box and have earned that rating. This restaurant has all of the fundamentals in place to truly be a great Houston staple/headline restaurant from the food, the historic location in Montrose, the massive Oak trees that surround the building, and the beautifully decorated interior. I would describe this restaurant as the Italian BCN. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: 1. What separates other great restaurants from Fiori, the vibe. The vibe is the final key and essential ingredient to creating the experience that leaves lasting impressions on the patron. I would highly recommend that Fiori enforces some sort of a dress code. You have a beautiful restaurant, and I believe it is fair that you uphold the patrons dining within to some sort of minimum dress standard. When I dined last night I noticed many patrons in casual business attire for the most part; and then you had one guy with an Affliction t-shirt on, and another guy with an Astros jersey and hat on. There is a time and place to wear a t-shirt, or an Astros jersey and hat; and you should make dining in your restaurant not one of them. By upholding a dress code, it keeps the experience special for all the other patrons who have dressed up nicely to celebrate an occasion. 2. The waiting staff. Our waiter last night in all fairness was not terrible, he just seemed exhausted and was not all too excited to be there. When you dine at great restaurants the waiting staff is excited to welcome you to their establishment and review the menu; which I experienced non of this. Additionally, you have your waiting staff in white t-shirts and aprons on. Your waiting staff is not working in the kitchen, why do they need to have aprons on, and why not have them wear something a bit nicer than a plain white t-shirt (perhaps some sort of collar shirt). You are trying to set the tone, this is your restaurant, so you have to make this initial investment in your staff. Food Review: 1. Overall the food was great. I will say that I truly appreciated that Firori has artichoke on the menu, which took me back to Europe. However I would have appreciated if that artichoke was served warmer, as it seemed like you must have steamed a bunch of them during your prep, and just pulled directly out of the cold storage to plate (maybe a quick flash on the grill could do the trick). 2. I cannot stand when you purchase a bottle of wine, and it is served at 80 degrees. I cannot think of anyone that wants to drink wine that is room temperature (even warmer because it's by a kitchen). I had to ask for an ice bucket for a bottle of RED just to try and get the bottle down to a palatable drinking temperature. 3. I am going to finish on a positive note. I had the Branzino at BCN a few nights prior to ordering it at Fiori. Fiori in my opinion completely mastered the fish, and beat BCN. The fish was baked to absolute perfection, prepared simply with olive oil, and complimented with cherry tomato and asparagus (nothing that over powers the flavors of the fish). Thank you for having my wife and I, but I would love to come back after the aforementioned improvement areas are addressed and give you a 5 star rating.

Had one of the most amazing dining experiences in a long time at Fiori in Montrose. It was as though I were transported back to Campo dei Fiori in Roma. Chef Alessio captures the freshness of the open air produce and flower market into one dining experience. Also on the menu is an order your flower arrangement brought to your table by the florist, Alfred. The entire dining experience was perfection!!!

Yummy Italian spot in Montrose! We visited Fiori with another couple. Among the 4 of us, we had lots of different dishes and all were great. Drinks were on point, too! I recommend for a fun dinner.

I have never seen service this slow or bad. I waited to an hour for a drink that never came. Appetizers and entrees took forever and came out in random order. Food was good but the service is unforgivable!

Dined Saturday night about 5:30 pm. Service was attentive, but not overbearing. It's a pretty restaurant with nice art, but "floral boutique," no. I did see two diminished banana trees inside the restaurant, but no flowers anywhere. The outside railing needed maintenance & depleted the upscale ambience. The menu is voluminous, but the prices don't justify the quality of the food. I had scallops on a bed of risotto. The risotto was wet, not flavorful NOR hot. The four scallops, however, were cooked just right. My friends had the pasta carbonara, & pasta pesto, both bland. Finally, the two gelatos, vanilla & pistachio, were just right & served with a tiny ice cream cone offset to the side in ruffly crystal dishes. The restaurant got those just right. My friends had alcoholic beverages, a bourbon drink with bitters that was served in interesting glasses & a mocktail mule, served in a copper cup. They thought those were interesting. All in all, I would not recommend this restaurant: entrees between 27$ & $70 were disappointingly bland & not satisfying. We had no appetizers nor salad.

I agree with some of the other reviews in that Fiori has the potential to be much better, but I may have just dined in at a bad time. The entire staff was very friendly, but it felt like 5-10 min went by without our waiter coming by (including at least 10 min for our drinks to come after we ordered them). Each member of the staff was apologetic whenever it came to it, but still. The overall vibe was nice in that it felt like a more comforting neighborhood restaurant than similar restaurants in the Montrose area. The food was pretty good overall, but some still had their issues. The Ricotta Fritta app had a nice mix of textures with the crunchy breading and soft filling, but the dish as a whole ate fairly dry (tomatoes couldn't save the dish alone). The main courses came with mixed results to an extent. The Risotto Verdure e Capesante was very tasty and easily my favorite dish of the night, while the Cacio e Pepe was good but a little too peppery and not nearly as cheese-forward as one would expect. I wouldn't be opposed to going again, but can't say that much about it left me wanting to rush back.

This place is very beautiful, but the food isn't what you think you will get. The fried lamb chops and veal are nasty, no seasoning and the texture isn't the best. The drinks are pretty good. I would go back just for the scenery. The service was pretty good, this one lady was that was serving us what kind of rude that I didn't get her name.

I will preface my review by saying: This restaurant has a true potential for growth, but some things can and should be addressed. Stuff was nice and professional, our waitress was great. I ordered a Carbonara, but it was not at all what I expected to receive. The pasta was Al dente, which was good. However, it was unusually spicy for a carbonara, it seemed like red pepper has been added to the sauce. Every time I took a bite the spice remained as aftertaste. I also had a vanilla gelato, which was perfect. My mocktail mule was very tasty. The interior and exterior is great. Ambience and atmosphere was quite amazing. If my carbonara would not be spicy, the experience would be a 4-5.

We had our daughters birthday dinner here last night. Party of 8. So disappointed in the quality of the food and restaurant is very loud. Our 2 bruschettas were good but the mussel appetizer were really fishy and... I love mussels! The carbonara was so thick, sticky and rich it was nearly inedible. The cacio de Pepe is meant to be pasta with pepper and Parmesan and it too was thick and sticky and more like Alfredo. The seafood pasta dish was tasty but came with a huge pile of those fishy mussels. Lobster ravioli $35 was pricy for flat raviolis with no discernible lobster that were drenched in an unimaginative sauce. Lasagna was good but tiny for $29. Eggplant was good. Our server Loren was very good. Wine was good but also pricy at about $55/bottle. So $550 bucks later we had expected a lot more from a restaurant in midtown.

I am eating there right now. The best Carbonara in Houston,Texas,. It tastes exactly like I had it in Rome, chewy, flavorful, delicious, thick , and satisfying . I will never forget it, so I go to Fioriello to remind me

What a gem! the atmosphere, service and food were outstanding! The owner/chef is a delight and we appreciated having him visit the front and interact with the patrons. We will be returning!

Terrible service, food and atmosphere! This was by far the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. The food was cold, the service was slow, and the waiter added extra items to out check that we never ordered. Above all, the manager, Alessio, was highly unprofessional and disrespectful. Avoid this place at all costs. Do yourself a favor and dine at El Bracco. The food and service are WAY better.

After we all worked hard to survive pandemic, I'm so happy they are here and preparing great food. I will go again and take more friends!!

All our dishes were extremely salty! I wasn't expecting it and it was probably because the cheese was very aged- tasting.

Below average food and even worse service from management. As we're signing the check to leave, my company and I were hassled to leave and practically yelled at. We were evidently leaving and were honestly in no way trying to stay much longer due to the mediocre food and suffocating layout of the restaurant. It's a quaint, intimate spot with good affogato and if it weren't for the pesto being bland and getting practically ran out the restaurant, I might actually consider going back. Sadly that is not going to happened and I can make better pasta at home. Expected better from the establishment because I usually find underrated spots on Montrose, but this is not anything you're missing out on.
