The Coziest Restaurants In Philadelphia

"Plenty of plants, massive windows, and romantic parlor furniture all add to the appeal of this tiny Italian BYOB in East Falls. Tables are close, so you’ll get a sneak peek of the grilled calamari, spaghetti and clams, and veal saltimbocca that glides by before you order. The best part about this place is that it works for so many occasions: a family dinner, a solo meal with a good rosé, and a date night that mirrors the coziness of a snow day (minus the frigid temperature).  " - candis mclean

We had an incredible dining experience at Fiorino! The pasta was unbelievably fresh and flavorful—truly delicious. My mom had the tortellini and said it was the best dish she’s ever had. We also enjoyed a great wine pairing and ended the meal with a pistachio dessert that was absolutely amazing. Everything was beyond expectations—15/10! My parents are already talking about coming back the next time they visit me. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Birthday Dinner at Fiorino I celebrated my birthday at Fiorino with my family and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the cozy, welcoming atmosphere made the night feel special. Every dish we ordered was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Italian in Philly—you won’t be disappointed!

Fiorino is an outstanding Italian BYOB tucked away in East Falls! I took my mom here to celebrate Mothers Day, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. We started with free bruschetta and bread which were both wonderful. The mussels marinara were something special. They were huge and we dipped the bread in the broth, wow. For our entrees, we got the tagliatelle bolognese and grilled shrimp with spinach. They portioned the pasta in half without us asking, very kind. The noodles melted in your mouth. The spinach was also some of the best spinach I’ve ever had! We ended with the tiramisu. It was wonderful, not too sweet but just the right amount. The service was friendly and made you feel right at home. I will absolutely come back again!

I have been to this place since 2018, and it NEVER disappoints. It is a super cute, small Italian restaurant (make sure you make reservation ahead of time)! It can get packed it here, but the food is 100/10 and it’s BYOB!

Finally made it to Fiorino for a birthday dinner. We love classic Northern Italian fare and we're very pleased with our meals! Since it was a special occasion, we splurged and got three courses but you can easily walk away for a meal under $50 pp.

Excellent food, with enough variation in the menu for both meat and fish fans. Mice atmosphere- cozy, but not too noisy. Service was a bit leisurely, but that was because all tables were filled and only two waiters were working. Parking can be a bit tricky.

Fantastically delicious food and excellent service. My water glass never went below half filled and they kept the bread coming! Needed to soak up every last bit of the meal. Wasn't over filled though, everything was perfectly portioned and super fresh. Their outside seating is expanded to across the street and there's an awning in case it rains. Very nice experience.

A great place in the middle of the neighborhood. Staff were nice and moved efficiently, great outdoor seating view, it wasn't too hot. Everything is fresh! We decided to split the branzino as an appetizer and the aroma was great, fresh smelling, flavors were coming through. The branzino had an amazing crusted finish and without being dry, and the side of vegetables and potatoes were cooked great as well. We also had bread with this little red sauce that was great, the bread didn't taste buttered but it was soft with a good flavor. For the main course I had the tagliatelle bolognese. It was a rich smooth, and creamy flavor because of how fresh the ingredients were. It wasn't a heavy meal but I didn't eat it all to leave room for dessert. This may have been my personal favorite part of the meal. For dessert I got both the crème brûlée and the lemon sorbetti. The lemon sorbetti was my absolute favorite thing, it was so good and refreshing as a palette reset after eating everything. The crème brûlée was also good and the texture was nice, you really start digging in before you know it's gone.

All I can say is WOW! From the soft bread you get at the beginning of the meal to the branzino and gnocchi down to the tiramisu, everything was delicious. The branzino had a nice crispy crust without ruining the integrity of the branzino and the sauce that came with it was delicious. We told the waiter we were sharing the branzino and they were kind enough to split it up for us into two separate plates. The gnocchi was also really good and the portion size was decent with enough to bring home leftovers. The tiramisu is probably the best I've had in Philadelphia. I also tried their crème brûlée (not pictured) and it was good as well. We were seated outside, which I originally didn't want to do, but we weren't given the option. It all ended up working just fine and we enjoyed our outdoor seating under an umbrella.

This restaurant serves some of the best Italian food around--seriously, we've loved it for years. But our most recent visit took a turn into the Twilight Zone. The place was busy (as always), and we placed our orders: seafood pasta, fish special, veal Marsala, lamb chops, a couple salads, and calamari to start. The salads arrived in good time, but then... the Great Wait began. After a while, our server returned--not with food, but with a question: "What did you all order again?" Uh-oh. Eventually, some entrees trickled in, but not without more confusion. He had to re-ask what my sister-in-law had, and the missing calamari still hadn't made an appearance. When it finally did, it was fashionably late--well after the main courses. And those lamb chops? Let's just say they were still finding their way toward "done." Now, for the twist: amid all the culinary chaos, we noticed a woman attempting to swipe my wife's purse right off her chair. We stopped her ourselves. The staff? Totally unbothered. No confrontation, no apology--just business as usual. It was a strange, unsettling evening--like the food was from Italy, but the vibe was from a low-budget heist movie. We still love the menu, but we're hoping this was just an off night... and not the start of a new theme.

Delicious! Be sure to make a reservation because the restaurant is not in a big space and it seems like it books up quickly. Can't really add more beyond what a lot of the other reviews have said: fresh high quality ingredients which you can really taste in the bruschetta and salad, and overall just really yummy food! Grilled calamari was perfect. Spaghetti scoglio had sooo much seafood it was amazing. Bolognese sauce was delicious, as was the tiramisu. Portion sizes are generous and we left feeling super full.

I devoured the food so quickly, I forgot to take pictures. My bad, y'all. We came early (around 5:30p) and there was only one other couple there, but that changed quickly. We were seated immediately. Our waiter asked if we had a reservation, but I didn't see how to make one online...I guess you can call? Either way, it was no problem given the time we came. The restaurant is quaint and cozy, which I loved. The service was great and I never felt like we needed anything. The food! So, they give you a bruschetta to start, which was surprising and so tasty. You then get bread for the table with marinara (spaghetti) sauce, which was so delectable and surprising. We got the calamari, which was cooked perfectly with a great texture (not too chewy) and was flavorful. I got the amatriciana, which is surprisingly easy to mess up despite it being so simple. It is one of my favorite pastas and it did not disappoint. They give you fresh Parmesan as well, which was an added bonus. The sauce was well flavored, the pasta was perfectly alright dente, and the proportions and ratio of sauce to noodle was just right. Finally, I got the creme brulee for dessert, which was good, but standard. *My friend was already plotting to come back before we left, so, I will be back!

This is my third time visiting this neighborhood restaurant, and it has not disappointed me!! The ambiance is quaint and charming. The service is non-negotiable. They truly recognize customer tableside awareness!! And the food, did I mention, the food is fresh, cooked to perfection and plated beautifully? Well it is! Treat yourself and remember neighborhood dining is a must!!

I don't get up to East Falls very often, so I made a point of trying this place out last time I was there. Such a cozy community spot, nestled in a residential neighborhood among the rowhomes. (Keep that in mind when looking for parking). The details: free bread, BYOB, and it's small enough that I probably wouldn't try to pop in without a reservation. Prices--especially for Italian in the city--are very reasonable. Just about everything is in the $25 range, give or take. The food was amazing. I want to find a reason to go back just for the scallop conchiglie pasta in blush sauce.

Small, cozy and authentic! Right on the corner in a residential neighborhood and run by an older Italian man who answers all the phone calls and brings your food. He's a sweetheart! I've loved all the pastas and the tiramisu! The veal was a little underwhelming

The BYO gem in East Falls! Fiorino brings Italy to Philly. It's a small establishment and old school! You have to call to make a reservation (and trust me, you HAVE to make a reservation a couple days out). The food is true to its inspiration and service is great. Make sure you bring a bottle (or 2) with you!

Cozy gem in east falls. The space is small but it works. Service attentive and friendly. Good well executed and fresh made pasta always amazing. Dishes range from good to excellent and all well executed. My wife and I always look forward to eating there, a great experience overall.

It's not part of the South- Philly -Italian - food-scene so it might not show up on your radar, but you don't want to skip this one. Dining here is a treat in so many ways. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is delightful. It's a cozy row home and feels like you are walking into an Italian dinner party! The owner checks up on tables and everything is brought to the table fresh and delicious. There is a standing ice bucket for white wine and delicious complimentary bruschetta for the start of the meal. All of our pastas were fresh and the broccoli rabe was seasoned well and cooked just right. We enjoyed great food, sweet ambiance and perfect dessert. Bring a bottle (or two) and try this wonderful spot. You won't be sorry.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Fiorino! The staff were so inviting and welcome. We felt like we were dining at someone's house. We split the tagliatelle bolognese for an appetizer. We had the chicken Marsala and Branzino with crab special. We also split the cannolis and tiramisu. The pastas and desserts were our favorite parts of the meal. This restaurant is BYOB with minimal searing so making reservations is necessary. The restaurant was a bit loud but it was so very cozy and relaxing.

If you're looking for a great Italian dining experience, FIORINO is the place to go. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere that feels like your been invited to grandma for dinner. The food? Absolutely spectacular. Every dish bursts with authentic Italian flavors, prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The pasta is perfectly cooked, the sauces are rich and flavorful, and the seafood pasta was to die for. The service is impeccable--attentive but never intrusive, with staff who truly care about making your experience special. FIORINO isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience. Take an uber because it a neighborhood restaurant... no parking. Bring your own win, too. If you love Italian cuisine, this is a must-visit. I can confidently say it was one of the best Italian meal I've ever had!

The perfect little Italian gem! The food is simply perfect. Everything from the bread and sauce they give every guest to the main entree to the dessert. Just wonderful. The restaurateur is a gentleman and working hard the entire time you're there. The staff is also working extremely hard to take orders and get plates out. Just understand, it's a tiny place. So reservations are a must. But, trust me, you will not regret it!!

This amazing Italian restaurant in East Falls takes the cake for best restaurant in that area in my opinion. We got a reservation for 2 in the evening. The place is very small but every seat was full (for good reason). The waiter was a helpful older Italian man who made us feel like we were at home. The place is byob which is also pretty amazing because you can bring enough wines to pair with each Italian dish. Ended up getting this amazing pasta dish that I sadly don't remember the name of. The dish also came with bread which tasted amazing.

How lovely it was to have the opportunity to have a mom's night out here. It's nothing fancy but the service is prompt and courteous, the food is home made and delicious and it's the perfect home away from home to be comfortable and feel like family. I can't wait to come back

An East Falls institution. Basically situated in a row home this restaurant leaves little elbow room between the person next to you. This isn't a bad thing you should just go in expecting this. Reservation times are staggered and there may be only one or two veteran servers to take your order along with a couple of cooks in the back but this place hits the nail on the head for classic Italian dining. It's not Italian-American by any means...it's Italian Italian like something outta a side street in Rome. It's BYO...don't skimp on the dessert or cappuccino...treat yourself.

Overall: great, DELICIOUS, Italian food for this price! The star of the dishes was definitely the spaghetti scoglio. Will definitely come back for this! 4/5 Stars becuase it is very good, but not mind blowing, but where could u find this quality with this price!! Food ordered (also in pics) :D Spaghetti scoglio: dish was PACKED with seafood, just look at the pics!!! The seafood flavors diffused into the spaghetti. even though the spaghetti tasted like box spaghetti, the seafood definitely makes up for it. Tons of shrimp, clams and mussels. :) tagliatelle bolognese: house made pasta, but the meat was average :) lamb chop: a bit average for the price, but still delicious. Got lucky and caught it as a special of the week! Tiramisu: DEFINATELY GET! One of the best tiramisu in the city :) fresh ingredients. Service: Everyone that works here is a bit older and Italian, so don't expect great and friendly service, just expect decent service Tip: reservations here go so fast, would recommend at least 1.5 week reservation in advance

The cutest little Italian restaurant in Philly, we always get a chance to talk with the owner while we're there, an older Italian man who is so sweet and remembers our preferences and allergy sensitivities. The complementary bread and pepper spread alone are delicious, and the pasta is always perfect. There's like 4-6 tables in total inside, and it always fills up fast, but recently they've had a pretty big outdoor seating area which was super nice to eat at during warmer days with larger groups.

Fiorino is becoming our Friday night go-to. My wife and I are both gluten-free and they have several options on the menu. Last night we had the grilled calamari to start. I had the GF pasta with white clam sauce - absolutely fantastic. My had the grilled Salmon and said it was very good. The staff is knowledgeable and personable with both indoor and our seating. The ambiance is right out of 'Moonstruck' highly recommended.

Make sure you have a reservation because it fills quickly. This place will not be the same much longer as he is looking to sell so go now!! Classic Italian food in a small and intimate setting. BYOB which is great. The prices are so fair and service is excellent. I go here every time I am in Philadelphia. Everything is handmade from scratch and there are always specials. Pasta is excellent and if they have a lamb special, order it.

Buried in the beautiful neighborhood of East Falls, this proprietor run Italian restaurant is a delightful experience. Tonight, we had grilled calamari and burrata appetizers followed by both the beet salad and the arugula salad. All were amazing. It's BYOB, which I love and the owner comes to your table to tell you the specials and to open your wine. They serve bruschetta and bread on the house, It's noisy because it is so busy but who cares? I ordered the pasta soglio. My son ordered chicken piccata. My other kids got bolognese and my DH got the spaghetti with clams. Everything was delicious. Our table was well attended despite the fact that they were very busy and we had cappuccino all around to go with a few desserts. Panna Cotta, bomba, again all was terrific. I would work here to help out if I could as it's just the kind of business that all neighborhoods need.

Fiorino Cucina Italiana is located on a quaint corner in East Falls at Indian Queen Lane & Krail St. You're likely to be turned away at the door on a popular week night or weekend. The menu at Fiorino offers appetizers, salads, soup, main course, pasta, sides, House specials, and desserts. - Gorgonzola Gnocchi is served sizzling hot with fresh, cracked pepper and Parmesan.. always on point - Tuna Carpaccio is served à la capers, arugula, and lemon slices. It's melt in your mouth GOOD - Eggplant rollatini is traditional, served with breaded, sliced eggplant and rolled with ricotta cheese. The dish is baked to perfection - Caprese salad with heirloom tomato, fresh mozzarella, topped with basil - Tiramisu is a light, creamy, and shareable version of the Italian classic favorite

This is a place that has been on my list to try for months and I'm happy I can finally cross it off my list. The restaurant is small and intimate, so if going on the weekend, I would definitely recommend a reservation. They have about 3-4 tables outside and indoor seating holds maybe 40 people. We chose to take one of the outdoor tables. The meal started with some bread, olive oil and a tomato-y side sauce which was delicious. They also gave us two pieces of bread with bruschetta that tasted so fresh. For an appetizer we chose the tomato mozzarella (caprese) and once again, the tomatoes were so fresh and succulent. For main courses, we tried a lamb dish and the branzino special. They were good, the sides of potato and veggies were also cooked perfectly. The only downside is that the service can be a bit slow, so prepared to hang out for a bit.

The restaurant space is very limiting. We were squeezed in to the side but we had a great view of the chefs working. The server was prompt and took our orders almost immediately after we sat down. The food was simple and basic. It was tasty but not remarkable.

Best gnocchi I ever had!! My fiancé and I had dinner there, for my birthday, food was excellent service was outstanding . Wish I had taken pictures of the food we couldn't wait to eat. We usually take pictures first. but I did manage to take a picture of the dessert we had at the end which was out of this world! I strongly recommend. Make sure to make reservations in advance ,and don't forget to bring the wine! and enjoy!

Came for a birthday dinner. Disclaimer, you need to Uber or Lyft to get here. There is no parking around here. With that said, the food is fabulous!!!! It is a hidden gem in East Falls. If you come here you better have reservations!!! Started dinner, hey it's a BYOB!!!!! Thank you Jesus! Started dinner with a beautiful bruschetta. Fresh, lite and very tasteful. Appetizers we chose were grilled calamari over a bed of greens & smoked portobello mushrooms with mozzarella cheese. #delicioso Our main courses - lamb chops with a side garlic spinach & pasta with red sauce with calamari, shrimp, scallops, mussels & clams with side of broccoli rabe. They were both fantastic. Not a bite left. Dessert was the wonderfully delightful pistachio cake and tiramisu. Beautiful In presentation and delicious. I would go back but would always take a cab/ride share because parking is pretty bleak.

Adorable little Italian local gem. Tiny tiny. Few tables inside and a few tables outside. Everything was delicious though I wished I had ordered the seafood pasta after seeing the table next to mine get it. But that's just another reason to go back! It's also byo, so don't forget the wine.

I've been to fiorino three times. I've brought a couple girls and I've brought the homie ty. It's honestly my favorite restaurant in Philadelphia. It's tucked away in east falls and has that small town Italian restaurant vibe. Everyone that works there is super chill. It's BYOB and they don't charge for a corkage fee. It's small and intimate. I eat vegan and they always make me something great. I can't stress how much I adore this place. Bring a date theyll be so stoked. Bring a homie and y'all will be yelling and laughing like everyone else in the joint. It's a great place. Highly recommended!

This establishment looks like it is just someone's house. It is a small place, but the food packs a punch! Definitely try to call ahead for a reservation as there are just a couple tables inside and outside when the weather is nice. You can definitely tell this place is a nice mom-and-pop restaurant by the service and simplicity. I had a great time here and the food was awesome. I started with the Bresaola appetizer, which is dry cured beef and that was yummy. They also brought out some complementary Brushetta to start. I was feeling pasta, so I decided to get the Tagiatelle with Bolognese. This pasta was soooo so delicious! It had the right flavor and the pasta was cooked al dente to my liking. I also got a side of spaghetti with garlic & oil, which while this was simple, it was good as well. For dessert, I heard the table next to me get one of the dessert specials, the Limoncello Cake, and wow, I was glad I got it because this was awesome. The texture and flavor were on point and I could just keep eating this cake again and again. It was very light and had a special place in my stomach! I hope to come back here again.

If I can give this place a negative rating I would. Absolutely shocked that such an establishment would do something like change the amount of tip that was originally written down. I saved my receipt and for that months bill, cross referenced everything and noticed a disturbance between how much was given and how much I was charged. That is ridiculous! Regardless of the meal I would never go back to a place that would do some fraudulent activity such as this! The tip was very well reflective of the total price, at least an 18-20% tip of the whole bill that was over $100! For anyone else going, be weary! And always make sure to check how much you were truly charged! Originally I gave this place 3 stars and my reasonings are below. Food: I felt like the food was either a hit or miss here. Out of 6 dishes that were ordered, 2 of them were absolutely delicious and the rest seemed just a-okay. The best dishes were the grilled calamari and a special that was occurring that day which was some type of hand made ravioli with some type of meat stuffing inside. These two dishes really made an impression and every bit was delicious and savory! Unfortunately, the rest of the dishes did not follow the same standards. My table ordered the shrimp and beans, the lamb special and some type of white fish special that day. I personally had the lamb and it was cook okay but I felt that it was not worth the steep price that was charged. The dish came with 4 pieces, sauce, and some roughly chopped baked potatoes that did not pair well visually at least. Cost: The cost of a meal with 4 entrees and 2 appetizers came out to be over $100 which was okay. I just wished that the dishes lived up to the price. Environment: The restaurant was very small and cozy. That is what drew me to this place to begin with. I enjoy the places where you would have to RSVP in advance because seating is very limited. The interior had a vibe where it took you back to a small homey restaurant in Italy! Service: The service here is absolutely amazing. It probably helps that the restaurant is small and only so many people can be seated at a time but I felt that we were attended to very well! The waiter came to check up on us often enough but not too much! Uniqueness: I still believe this restaurant to be very unique. The place is BYOB so don't forget to bring a bottle of wine (or 3!) and be prepared to be greeted not only by the waiter/waitress but I think it is the owner that also came out to greet us and give us some complimentary bruschetta (which was another dish that was also good! I like how the topping wasn't too watery and there were good big chunks of tomato on top of the bread). I have read such great reviews about this place and was excited to bring my family here for a special occasion dinner. Truthfully I was a little disappointed but I still believe this place to be one of the better restaurants available around the area! **Pictures uploaded

Such a gem in east falls. We sat outside and had amazing service the entire time. Complimentary bruschetta and bread for the table (and the server brought us more bread when we inhaled it). We had the arugula salad, a bolognese dish, sea scallops and the cannoli and cheesecake. The food was amazing and so fresh, I will 100% be returning to try more of the things on the menu. It's BYOB so you can bring your own beverages.

This is truly a hidden gem in Philly and one of my favorite restaurants of all time. It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood so parking can be difficult to find but it's all worth it in the end. I highly recommend calling at least a week in advance for reservations as they don't have the option to reserve online. There is very limited seating indoors as it's a very small dining space but they've recently increased their outdoor dining due to COVID. Spaghetti Scoglio - You HAVE to get this if you are a seafood lover. Everything about it is amazing. They put an incredible amount of seafood in there - clams, shrimp, scallops, squid, and mussels. It's so fresh and truly an authentic Italian pasta. Beef and Mushroom Ravioli - This pasta is a staple on their menu and if you love a flavorful, creamy pasta, this is the one to get. The white cream sauce is so good and just enough so you don't get sick of it towards the end. The ravioli is full of flavor - I just wish they gave more! Last but not least, you won't see it on their dessert menu but ask for the lemon cake. GET IT. They serve it with raspberry sauce and it's the best lemon cake out there but they do get it from another local bakery.

We got pick up here for a dinner on our front porch. I got the spaghetti and meatballs. It was good but I didn't think it was anything special. My wife said that's because you got spaghetti and meatballs. That's just what I really wanted that night. I figured authentic Italian would be way better than me making it. The rest of the family was very happy with their meals and can't wait to go back. Bruschetta was banging.

My friends and I decided to try Fiorino to celebrate my 40th birthday. We made reservations, which is a must, since the dining room is very small and seating is limited. I did check the Yelp ratings and recommended dishes. We were seated quickly and I requested a seat by the window. Right away, we noticed it was as really warm in the restaurant. It had to be at least 80 degrees, turns out their AC was broken. Next time I visit, I will make sure it's fall, winter, or spring. It's a BYOB, so my girlfriend bought two bottles of wine. I opted for the homemade gnocchi, which was amazing. Melt in your mouth and delicious. I am very picky with Italian food and in my opinion, this place blows Little Nonna's out of the water. My friend opted for seafood, branzino and grilled shrimp. The Branzino was just okay, but my friend enjoyed the shrimp. I was set up ordering tiramisu, but I saw their special which was pistachio ricotta cake and changed my mind. It was not a bad decision but I still want to go back for the tiramisu. My girlfriends opted for crème brûlée and mango sorbet. I tried both and they were delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Italian and wanting to feel like you're in your grandmom's house. The waiters and staff were very attentive and may have been family members because they all seem to have an Italian accent. The waiter who served us reminded me of a grandfather and I really just wanted to take him home and hang out with him. I will not even be deducting a star for the air-conditioning breaking, because it's over 90° out and that is not something they can control. I've lived in East Falls over three years now and I cannot believe I haven't tried this place before now. I would not recommend this for large groups just because their dining room is small. They did have a few outdoor tables but in my opinion it was way too hot to eat outdoors today. I hope you are willing to give this place a shot and have a great experience like I did.

TLDR: Delicious, authentic Italian without being overpriced The reviews don't lie, this is a wonderful little gem of East Falls. From the free bruschetta appetizer, to the mouthwatering saltimbocca, to the beautiful tiramisu, nothing we ordered disappointed. This is real and delicious Italian food cooked by a great Italian chef. To top it off, the pricing is very reasonable. I felt like I got more than I paid for. One recommendation if you go: The indoor seating is nothing special, it's better to sit outside if the weather is nice. This place is worth every penny. My order: Veal Saltimbocca, Tiramisu, Conchiglie alla Rimini Service: Friendly, but a bit slow

This is a really special place. We had the chance to eat here before COVID, but it is truly an experience we won't forget. First off, the location and design of this restaurant is just perfect. You could drive right by it if you weren't looking hard enough. Sits right on the corner, tucked in the middle of a neighborhood (I envy the neighbors who get to enjoy this within walking distance.) The one downside is that it is a busy street, and it can be hard to find parking (when eating in person,) so keep that in mind. But when a restaurant feels inviting, or if the chef says they want to bring you into their home - this is eat. Small dining area, limited seating, but its like walking into someone's home for dinner. The ingredients are all so fresh and the plates are super elegant. True Italian cuisine! You can see it in the ingredients, but you can also see it in their offerings. Their pastas are all delicious, and all courses are appropriately priced to me. You get decent serving sizes. If you wanted to have an intimate meal, and just experience a cozy outing and leave wanting to come back for me...you can't go wrong here!

I have been to this restaurant a few times and the food has been delicious, the waiter welcoming and the ambiance is good, a little noisy inside but overall nice. Tonight I had the tuna carpaccio which was excellent, I really enjoyed it. However, I had the Branzino topped with crabmeat,a special and sorry to say it was an emaciated fish, extremely dry and no sauce. Maybe there was 4 tablespoons of fish with one tablespoon of crabmeat. I only wish mine looked like the photos in the popular dishes shown. I seriously thought about sending it back but we were in a group. When I came home, I wondered why did they even serve it to me! It was obviously overcooked. The desserts were excellent, the bombe, pistachio cake very tasty. I just won't order the branzino again!

I originally tried Fiorino in early 2020 for my wedding anniversary. Every since then I have raved about this place. The pasta, gnocchi, starters etc have all Ben amazing. Every time I want a nice meal with the wife close to home I always suggest this spot. I from the service to the setting it's a great place to sit, relax and have an amazing Italian style meal. I love the fact it's a BYOB so I suggest checking the menu before you go and bringing a red or white based on what you want for dinner. Never hurts to have both. The portion sizes are amazing and the prices are shockingly low for the quality of the meal. Always call ahead because before the pandemic it was hard to get a table over a week out. So, unless your doing take out I recommended a reservation.
