The Fiorella you see today is still the intimate space you know & love! Chef Marc Vetri and his team bring decades of talent & experience to this special space, creating a truly memorable dining experience. Pasta is the main event at Fiorella, with rotating antipasti and desserts rounding out the menu.

A la carte seating is available both in our indoor dining room and outdoor patio, year round.

Indoor seating is predominantly at our chef's counter, with a few high-top tables outlining the space. Table vs. counter reservations are seated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Patio seating is shaded from sun in summer and insulated with heaters in winter. Due to the nature of outdoor reservations, Fiorella may have to cancel outdoor service for severe weather.

Looking to dine with a larger group or want to try a different taste of Fiorella? Join us upstairs for our Pasta Club chef's selection!

From the whole Fiorella Team, thank you for your continual love and support!

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Fiorella is another Italian hit from acclaimed restauranteur and James Beard Award-winning chef Marc Vetri. Located in a historic butcher shop decked with a striking Venetian glass chandelier, the intimate restaurant serves up stellar seasonal pasta that could include cavatelli with ramps and shrimp. Linger with a glass of wine from the all-Italian list or an innovative cocktail like the dirty pasta water martini.

We did wait 30 minutes past our reservation time, however they made up for it in service and comped a fair amount of our meal. The food was excellent and you can’t beat the atmosphere.

Highly professional staff from the people who seat you, wait staff, wine expert, and all of the kitchen staff - Fiorella's really knows how to run a neighborhood high end restaurant and make it feel very personal.

The service was extremely slow. There were (3) in our party. (1) person ordered an appetizer, and everyone ordered a pasta dish. We ended up being there for 2 hours. It took about 20 minutes for the appetizer and and another 50 minutes for the pasta dishes. Not sure what happened, but the servers never informed us of, or acknowledged, any delays. We ordered (3) desserts and only (2) arrived. When the server came to check on whether a 3rd dessert was supposed to have been provided we just told her we were good with the two. As usual, the food was terrific. This is the only time we've ever had any service issues at Fiorella. We will chalk this up as a one-off event and give them another try.
