    We were running a bit late due to a storm that had passed through in our area. We called and said we were running late. The staff was quick to tell us no problem to drive safely. We were seated promptly even still after arriving 15 mins late . Service and food was top notch. Enjoyed everything. We will definitely be back again. Thank you Fork staff and chefs for allowing me a great Valentines dinner with my wife.

    Wow, I’ve never had a dining experience quite like it!!! Staff and service went above and beyond. It was Valentine’s Day, and the staff signed a card for us! The food was so fresh and flavorful. The flavor of that Caesar salad… I’ll be raving about it forever.

    As always the staff at Fiorella goes above and beyond. We arrived for a Valentine’s Day reservation at 5:30 inside but an earlier seating wasn’t budging and we ended up not being sat until around 6. The staff immediately apologized for the wait and set us at ease by saying, “please take your time and don’t feel rushed — we have rearranged seatings.” We then were given a welcome glass of wine and a complimentary pasta for our patience. Again the staff just went above and beyond. Every dish was perfectly prepared and delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience once again.
