    Nice Italian restaurant. On the smaller side; therefore, not loud and obnoxious when trying to have dinner conversation. Good selection of entrees and some fun cocktails. Try the pasta cheese wheel!

    My waiter was very attentive and made some great suggestions that were very good. I used a promotion that was sent to me for my birthday and will definitely be back in the future to try more options on the menu.

    First time dining at Fiori. You may dine on either the Fiori side or True side with both menus. Ordered a pre-dinner cocktail on True side called That’s Amore. Refreshing and not too sweet. Would order again. Moved to Fiori side for dinner. Went specifically to order the cheese wheel for my fettuccine Alfredo. You must request the cheese wheel, as it is not automatic. Delicious! I did add chicken to the dish, which may have been prepared sous vide. I will order chicken fried next time, only as a preference. Husband had chicken Parmesan which arrived with two large pieces and angel hair pasta. We used a Birthday coupon, which allowed a nice evening to try their food. No interrogation about the card. Simply asked to leave on table to remind server to subtract the discount.

    Food quality was mixed, calamari and apple strudle dessert were good but salmon was undercooked and swordfish was surprisingly hard to bite into. Great server and prompt service.

    As always, the service was amazing and the food as well. Tried the Amish chicken picatta - so tender. The pistachio gelato was the perfect end to the meal - loved the presentation and the little spoons.

    First time here , food was pretty good , service was great . I had the cheese wheel pasta with shrimp and chicken . Proteins were tasty , pasta kinda bland , basing this off of my experience of this dish I had in Lil Italy , Arthur Ave. “ The Bronx “ NYC. Outside of Chicago , hard to find really good Italian food and even that doesn’t compare to NYC . Beggars can’t be choosy I guess 🤣
