Fioritaly Trattoria

This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the Boston area. Authentic family style Italian. Mario does a wonderful job and is very attentive and informative about the meals. This is a hidden gem. We had the lamb shank special with mushroom risotto outrageously good. also had the Arancini to start would recommend that. The Caesar salad is homemade dressing. It’s so good.

I highly recommend FiorItaly in Medford, MA, as the ultimate Italian dining experience. The cozy and well-designed atmosphere, complete with a wraparound bar, sets the stage for a memorable meal. They also serve wine and alcohol. The extensive menu here offers a delightful array of seafood, meats, and homemade pastas, all expertly prepared by the passionate Owner and Chef, Gabriele. Every dish we sampled was exceptional, showcasing authentic Italian flavors in every bite. Special mention goes to our waiter, Mario, whose genuine hospitality and vibrant energy enhanced our dining experience. This gem of a restaurant deserves more than 5 stars. A culinary destination not to be missed. ❤️

Fioritaly Boston is much more than a restaurant — it’s a true journey into the heart of Italy. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a warm, elegant, and authentic atmosphere, where every detail reflects a deep love for Italian cuisine and its finest traditions. The food is outstanding: top-quality ingredients, genuine flavors, and a perfect balance between tradition and creativity. From fresh pasta to main courses and desserts, every dish is prepared with care and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the respect for Italian recipes and the passion behind each plate. The service is excellent — professional, friendly, and attentive — making every guest feel welcomed and valued. Fioritaly has the rare ability to make you feel at home, even while being thousands of miles away from Italy. A must-visit destination in Boston for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine, warm hospitality, and a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommended.

Amazing service and such a homey welcoming atmosphere! Its rustic yet simple inside, and small, so not a ton of seating. Came for late lunch at 3pm on a Saturday to celebrate a birthday. 5 adults 1 toddler. Appetizers were good (Bruscetta and Frito Misto). I got my son ziti with butter and truffle oil. I opted for the Caprese app as my meal with the prosciutto. It was perfectly amazing! Just what I needed and I left nothing on my plate. My family had been coming here but it was my first time.

Absolutely delicious authentic Italian. Best meal I’ve had in a while. Fresh, hand made…. Attentive, warm service. 10 out of 10.

The perfect vibe for girl luch. The owner was amazing. Very kind, very helpful and very accommodating. The food was delicious and I honestly can't complain. Will definitely be returning.

As an Italian food enthusiast, I have to say Fioritaly is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve tried outside of Boston. Authentic flavors, great atmosphere, and excellent service!

Christina is wonderful. Fritto Misto appetizer, gnocchi with seafood, and cacio Pepe. All fantastic.

FiorItaly Trattoria... has one of the nicest staff I have ever encountered at an Italian restaurant in MA! Not to mention, the food was also quite spectacular! We didn't make a reservation ahead of time but they were still able to seat us after we called to see if a table for 6 would be possible. The staff gave great recommendations on what to order based on what we liked! So, here's what we ordered: -Gnocchi sorrentina -seafood fra diavolo -mussels fra diavolo appetizer -risotto con pesce -chicken parmigiana All of the dishes we ordered were delicious and pretty good portion sizes. The entree that I personally had was the seafood risotto, though I did try a bit of everyone's dish. When we were ordering, I was debating between getting the seafood risotto or the salmon arrosto since I was in the mood for salmon too. To my surprise, I did end up having some salmon bits mixed in my risotto, so win-win haha ! My favorite dish that we ordered would have to be the chicken parmigiana. Exceptional food here, seriously. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their items on their menu. There's even more parking readily available here than you would find on Hanover St in the North End, so that's already a plus. Overall, service & staff was amazing, food was phenomenal, and there's plenty of parking... literally I see no cons! Definitely give FiorItaly Trattoria a try if you haven't already ;)

Had fam in town and they wanted to switch it up and do Italian! We found this spot on yelp that was a halfway point from where we all were and it was a good dining experience! Staff is super nice, super family vibes like ol' Italy! They have 3-4 specials tonight and i can't remember what they all were but we grabbed 2 orders of the seafood spaghetti pasta, gnocchi dish, chicken parm with ziti (was hoping for rigatoni) and seafood risotto. We also ordered the mussels and cestino bread for appetizer. Portions were a perfect size, we all ended up taking a good lunch portion worth home. Definitely on the safer side of seasoning. I opted to add some more salt and cracked pepper to my chicken parm dish. The chicken was moist, not dry like many places turn out to be. The pasta sauce i tried from all the dishes were good, balanced (i just tend to like a little more sodium haha) The risotto was cooked perfectly, not overly mush nor dried out. It had salmon bits in there too along with the mussels clams and scallops. Everyone enjoyed their meals, the mussels sauce was fire! We started dipping our bread in it afterwards! Owners were very nice and even brought little snacks to our little ones! Will definitely be back. This place was vibing when we arrived and had a full house! Service was quick and refills hit fast for water. Would return!

Came here for a special occasion. Made a reservation two weeks in advance to ensure we were seated right away. (Recommend A Reservation) We started with a special appetizer and bread paired with a bottle of Pinot Noir. Everything was delicious! For mains we had the gnocchi and seafood pasta. Both were wildly delicious and would recommend. Overall this place was packed but it's because it's so delicious. I would recommend this for any special occasion or just a date night. The place is nicely decorated as well!

This was a first try at this place with a close friend and we looked for this suggestion from open table. We started our meal with an appetizer of bruschetta and it was mouth watering delicious. We shared a salad and then we each had an entree that was great as well. The service here was friendly and helpful with whatever we needed. The service staff made sure we had everything we needed and one of owners stopped by our table to chat with us too so we felt welcomed and had a pleasant conversation more than once. The place is small so I would suggest you make a reservation like we had and the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. They do a nice job keeping as much of the cold from coming in the front door as possible during the cooler temps. Would definitely return to share with other friends or family as a place to enjoy a good meal.

The best I could describe it is a noisy little place serving average Italian food with a very limited menu at average prices and very difficult on street parking . I won't be going back.. on a good note, the service was excellent .

With so many Italian restaurants in the area, I think this is the best option in the Medford/Somerville area. It's a cozy neighborhood restaurant, where lots of locals go. We haven't waited much longer than 20 minutes for a table ever and we've been there many times. That being said, they don't have a waiting area so be aware of that depending on time of year. They've got a smaller menu but we've enjoyed everything we've ordered. The portion size is quite generous as well. We don't leave hungry. I highly recommend these dishes: - FiorItaly Parmigiana (eggplant parm appetizer). It comes two to an order and it's great to share! - Fusilli Al Ragu Irpino - Cacio E Pepe Romana - Lamb Ragu Gnocchi (Special) - Chicken Cacciatore (Special) The only negatives I can think of are that there is no waiting area and the restaurant can be a bit loud because there are lots of tables packed into the a small restaurant.

This a quaint family owned Italian restaurant that is welcoming and makes you feel like family. Whether you have a reservation or are a walk-in, the staff will welcome and accommodate you the best they can. While the menu isn't large, all the food felt fresh. We ordered the bruschetta and really could taste the freshness of the tomatoes that were used. For our entrees we ordered the eggplant, lasagna, and cacio pepe. Of the three the lasagna had the best flavor and we also enjoyed the eggplant. The cacio pepe is good but has more sauce than other cacio pepe we've had in the past. Overall we love coming to this neighborhood restaurant.

pleasant place enjoyed fusilli pasta with chicken parm at a dinner Just one gripe.. charging for bread? This was Italian with 4 guests ..so to keep adding that on seems too much. I'm saving up $ to eat out in Boston but this is just over the top. I can't keep up with this. Sorry.

Came here on a Saturday evening for an early dinner and the place was super busy already at around 6pm. The space is cozy and has a ton of tables in a smaller space, but still felt rather homey at the same time. The AC was pretty weak though and thus with the hot temperature outside, it felt a bit too warm. We were seated quite quickly and had our orders taken promptly. The menu has a good variety of different pastas, appetizers, and entrees, all decently priced however I found the portion sizes to be a bit on the smaller side. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time as well. We shared a salad and one of the fried seafood platters to start. The taste was average, nothing out of this world, and the bread was mediocre as well. The pasta we got was tasty, however I found my noodles to have a bit of a harder texture than I would've liked. The sausage and meatballs though were tasty and well-made. The tiramisu was a bit disappointing in size and flavor - definitely a bit of a let down to end the meal. Overall, I don't think I would choose to return again in the future, however the food was decent and I don't regret trying the spot out.

Love this little nook Italian Place! Happened upon it while on business travel and even though I had to take leftovers home because I couldn't eat it all..I continued to eat later than night it was so good! Had the chicken pasta dish and the amazing bread and a spritzer drink. Pasta was homemade Hate to eat alone but would do it again to eat there!! Very very authentic.

Food was very good, smallish menu good vibes on down side was we need to put the complete order in at one time, we could not put the app in first then the mains ..... another small gripe was that the charged for a 6" long piece of bread...

Had a great dining experience here. Staff were very friendly and provided excellent and prompt service. The restaurant is fairly small but has a lovely atmosphere with an open kitchen environment and a few bar stools. The food was all delicious, their bread and oil, caprese and ziti were all so tasty, there was not one bite left over!

Very high quality fresh Italian food. The ciabatta bread with olive oil came out supper fresh almost as if it had just been baked. I got the sauce and meatball and sausage with Fusilli and my mother got the stuffed chick chicken parm with ziti. My only complaint was the pastas were both just undercooked the slightest but this place is some of the best Italian food I've ever had and I've been eating Italian food my whole life, service was amazing and the vibe and decor was very nice. 4.8/5

We went for dinner. Reservations highly recommended. Small but quaint. We started with the appetizer. Zucchini blossoms. Excellent flavor. Plenty of fresh pasta dishes with excellent flavor. Portions are plentiful. Had a veal special. Melted in your mouth. Service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive. Very helpful with the menu. Made excellent suggestions. Great personality. I would highly recommend.

Found this on Yelp. Needed a restaurant with easy parking in the area. Super nice local place. Totally neighborhood feel. Prices were more than reasonable and the food was super fresh. Had the sausage pasta special with mushrooms and it was great. Definitely go here for local food. Very fresh

was working late in medford and just a quick Yelp search for restaurants brought me here and what a wonderful surprise . The arancini was excellent and ordered the lobster pasta /linguini dish with some wine and bread and I really enjoyed everything . then I finished it with a delicious canoli. crazy enough a buddy of mine and his wife went to a halloween party and said " lets do dinner in Fioritaly as he has family in the area and I was like absolutely I was just there 2 days ago . he also loves the food and service . highly recommend this spot although only been once

Love coming to Fior Italy. The food is very authentically Italian. Our waitress is always amazing and exudes such charisma. Restaurant is always packed with smiling faces. Restaurant is super homey. Highly recommend the pasta dishes. Bronzino was very very fishy but enjoyable if you are a seafood lover.

I enjoy early dinners and because of this I rarely make reservations. Around 430 we walked in and was greeted and shown an option Of two tables. We were pleasantly surprised that this place had so much space. It was hard to tell from the outside. We had a view of the open kitchen which was a delight to watch the chef and cooks. I was excited to try their food bc I've passed it driving so many times! There was an option of regular water versus sparkling. We were then told that our waiter would be with us. Our waiter shared the specials of the day which all sounded yummy. We decided to go with the arancini balls (3) came as the serving. We ordered two other items on the menu zhuccini tempura flowers stuffed with ricotta and the broccoli pesto pasta with chicken (entree). Our waiter recommended to order everything all at once and he promised he would space everything out so we didn't feel rushed. It was an odd request but we did. Around 5 this place started to fill up and you could see friends, families and couples fill in to enjoy their Saturday night dinner. Overall we enjoyed the food but there is room for improvement. One of the arancini balls was a tad burnt on the outside and the sauce lacked flavor. The zhuccini flower was good but the ratio of ricotta seemed off. I don't know what to expect with the pasta but it tastes just like broccoli and we got exactly what we ordered. Would I return? Would I recommend to friends? ABSOLUTELY! This place is a solid find when you're in the mood for an Italian food and don't want to go to the city! Btw we had the house white wine which was good as well. As a rating I would give them a solid B+ for this experience.

Got there early for a 7:00 reservation but waited another 45 mins. Meal was well worth the wait. Only advice... need some veal!!! Everything else was excellent will be back!

Wow! This place is amazing! Gabriele and Andrea make magic skillfully running front and back of house! Well done to your team, always treating us like family and preparing THE BEST food in the Boston area!

This place is a gem! Adorable corner spot, with barely 20 tables. Better make a rez! Authentic Italian graciously served with a smile by Mario. His charming Italian accent made his on-point service even better. The lemon drop martini was the perfect start! The homemade pastas were cooked perfectly al dente, and the seafood dishes reminded me of a recent trip to Italy. The ragu (sauce) was absolutely delicious, fresh and homemade. Already have my order ready for our next visit! Delizioso!

Most authentic Italian meal in a long while ! Server was helpful & customized my dish to perfection! Hands down will be back when back in the area! A must have most def!

Food mediocre. Long wait (45 min) in spite of reservation. It did have a cozy atmosphere but too loud.

The food is absolutely outstanding. The level of detail to the food, the knowledge of the waitstaff and the quality of the food makes this place every bit worth a try.

Delicious food. Great service. Owners very nice had daughter's baby shower there in March and it was over the top. Highly recommend

Just disgraceful. 80 minutes from order for entrees. One hour after app was finished. Everyone acknowledges and apologizes profusely. When I asked to be comped, crickets. The waitress got a full tip.

Incredible. Great little spot in Medford. The food was great, the wine list was great, the service was top notch. We tried a few items; salads, seafood, pasta with fresh sauces and meatballs. First time and will be back many many more!

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST DO! 4 & 1/2 STARS! They have both Indoor & Outdoor dining here . You can find Free Street Parking on the side streets. Fioritaly Trattoria is a little gem located outside of Boston in Medford on Salem St. We ordered To Go. The Spaghettu & Meatballs were DELICIOUS & had Authentic Red Sauce with San Marzano tomatoes & Homemade Meatballs. The GRIGLIATA MISTA comes with Grilled scallops, shrimp, lobster and the catch of the day, & served with mixed green salad and cherry tomatoes. I didn't want the Calamari & they were out of Scallops so they asked if I wanted to substitute the 2 for salmon & swordfish. Yessssssss! Sometimes when they are out of stuff they end up giving you a WAY BETTER MEAL. WE SCORED!!! YEAH! DELICIOUSSSSS SEAFOOD ENSEMBLE! Lobster, Swordfish, Salmon, & Shrimp. Oh My My!!! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!

-delicious food I can't say anything negative about this place everything made to order Staff is super nice U must try this place

Food & service were both outstanding. Thank you for such a delicious evening. The evening was busy but food came out quickly. Make a reservation!

Had takeout of pasta-tomato sauce with sausage and meatballs. Service was prompt and friendly, portion was perfect for two hungry adults. Will be adding this place into our rotation for sure!

All the food here was phenomenal. Service was excellent. We were flying in from California and meeting friends from Medford. We had made reservations and they accommodated two changes due to flight delays. It is a small restaurant giving vibes of eating in someone's home, wonderful ambiance. Deserts were delicious.

Our favorite Italian restaurant in the North End sadly closed during covid, and we've been looking for a new 'fave' -- and we just found it. We made reservations and were glad we did - they were packed. We ordered the Chicken Parmigiana and the Fusili al Ragu Impino - both were enormous and absolutely perfect, made with fresh tomatoes, and spiced just like we had in Rome. The chicken was moist, tender, and extraordinarily tasty. Their overall style is central Italian, with lots of tomato-based dishes; exactly what we were in the mood for. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. We were too stuffed for dessert, but next time!

Amazing food and service. It's a really small place but they do an awesome job. Everything we had was very yummy and presented beautifully

I'm not Italian, but I think this is as authentic as you can get for casual dining! The staff speak Italian, as if we're in the North End. Packed at 5:30 certainly sums it up. Definitely coming back.

Was pleasantly surprised. This is the BEST ITALIAN restaurant I have found in a long time.... closest to my Mom's sauce I've ever had. I had the chicken Parm and it was delicious. Want to to try the ravioli next.... haven't had a hem since my Mom passed. Mario was great. Definitely r recommend.

Last night was my third visit to FiorItaly. Chef Ascia came from Ischia island near Naples. My servers have all been Italians (from the accent and they did speak in Italian among themselves)--if you're looking for an 'authentic' Italian place, here it is. I was most impressed with the Paccheri al Ragu di Mare Genovese--this is to order if you like seafood. The Paccheri was nicely cooked al dente, the seafood fresh. My latest order was the lamb scottadito. The tenderness and texture of the lamb were on point, and the doneness was exactly as requested. My only complaint was that it coud have used a bit more salt, and it'd be so perfect. One can argue, and many Italians would attest, that the quintessential element of an Italian pasta dish is the quality of the pasta itself. Many places provide great and fresh ingredients, but they don't pay attention to the quality of the pasta, it's an afterthought. But not with FiorItaly, they know their stuff in the pasta department. Bravo. If you live nearby, you should visit this place at least once. I will visit more and try different offerings they have.

Excelente ' food service and atmosphere Our go to place in Medford for authentic Italian food

Review based on takeout. Overall good option for Italian food, menu selection is somewhat limited but still offers the classics. Bruschetta - they serve 3 varying pieces: ricotta, mushroom and eggplant. The eggplant had the most flavor and the bread had been toasted to perfection. The Lobster Fra Diavolo had an entire lobster! The sauce was delicious and the pasta al dente. Service was friendly. Place clearly popular with the locals so anticipate to wait.

Although the food was decent, the service was slow. While we, a party of 5, waited for the appetizer, we went through 1 bottle of wine. There were 4 items on the menu that were unavailable. Then while waiting for the main, we went through another bottle of wine. Our reservation was 8:15 we got served dinner at 9:35. We ordered 2 zucchini flowers ($16 for 3 flowers). There was only 1 portion left but they gave us 1 extra flower but charged $7 for the extra flower, which were very small. We were charged for bread without being informed. We had to ask for parmesan cheese and had to wait every time we asked for something. No appologies given for the long wait. It felt like we were nickeled and dimed. We had been before on a very busy night but gave them a second chance ant it was a mistake. We spent more money than we got in return. Will not return!

Decent authentic Italian food outside of North End. I came here on a Thursday night. It was somewhat busy, but there were tables available that were not too close to other diners. All the staff were wearing masks although there were a few who didn't have their masks covering their noses - that was a bit concerning. Here's what I ordered: Vongole e Crostacei - small portion of clams and shrimp in garlic white wine sauce. Sauce was delicious and paired well with the seafood. They included a lightly grilled piece of bread to soak up all the delicious sauce. Polpette Vesuviane - absolutely delicious meatballs! The meatballs melted in our mouths. The truffle ricotta was light and refreshing and balanced out the heartiness of the meatballs. Gnocchi Sorrentina - gnocchi was soft and fluffy, served in a red sauce with a smear of pesto. I wasn't a fan of the red sauce - tasted plain and one dimensional. The only thing that gave the sauce some dimension was the pesto. Chicken Parmigiana - generous sized piece of chicken stuffed with melted cheese with a side of rigatoni in red sauce. The chicken and pasta were cooked perfectly! I ate some of the chicken with the gnocchi to balance out the plain sauce.

One can tell a real experienced chef is in charge here despite the more homey environs. Really terrific menu in which things can't help but go together. Everything we had had a chef's touch. Nothing is over seasoned or over done. I had branzino steamed in a bag with a few vegetable that had been cut so that they would compliment the fish along with subtle herbs. Just the roasted potatoes that came with the branzino were prepared in a way that made them delicious. The salad was similar. Lots of touches there. Subtle in a way I aspire to but never reach at home. After one takes recent inflation into account, the total price was very reasonable for this level of cooking.

Food was fantastic and great service. Will be going there again. Ambiance was nice and a real Italian Chef and food!

Amazing food, amazing service. Incredibly attentive and accommodating wait staff. Nice ambience. Could not recommend more.

FIOR WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? Dined here for the first time with a friend before seeing a show at the Chevalier theater and I feel like I may have been living under a rock. Hands down one of the best Italian meals I've had. Beats a lot of the spots in the north end by a long shot. My friend is from Italy and she said this place is the real deal. I'm talking QUALITY food, you can feel the love that gets prepared in these dishes. Extremely friendly service and amazingly fresh food. Gnocchi - to die for. Homemade little potato heaven. Caprese app - drool worthy Presentation - AMAZING I can't wait to come back. Support local! Bravo!

I almost don't want to post this review because I want to keep this wonderful restaurant local. However, this is THE BEST Italian restaurant in the area. The food is authentic and tastes delicious! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I can't say enough good things about this place. My only regret is not trying it sooner. Call ahead because it is small and there can be lines!

We called for pickup and the order was ready in 15 mins. Staffs were super nice. We ordered the lasagna and Vongole pasta & appetizer. These were all really fresh and delicious!! Prices were reasonable. Definitely worth coming back for more many times. Great little gem in the burbs so you should definitely try it. Go out and support your local restaurants!! This place brought back a lot of good memories I had spending half a summer studying abroad in Northern Italy.

What a great find for date night with my wife. We had heard about FiorItaly and finally got the chance to try it. What an amazing meal and experience. The staff is incredible and very friendly. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and super helpful. We started with a Caesar salad that was awesome. The dressing was outstanding and the little croutons delightful. I went with the gnocchi in the lamb ragu and my wife went with the broccoli pesto with shrimp. The broccoli pesto was very fresh tasting and a nice twist on pesto. The shrimp were also seasoned very well and cooked perfectly. While that was really good, the gnocchi stole the show. Definitely taste homemade and they were smaller than I typically get, which was really nice. The lamb ragu was absolutely amazing. One of the most flavorful sauces I have had. My only complaint was that we were too full for dessert! Will definitely be back to this gem!

Good vibe, friendly service, excellent food. Will come back again soon. Ordered steak/sausage/lamb - very tasty!
