    Absolutely AMAZING! As someone who bought their sausage from Fiorella’s I am blown away by how much of the original charm they kept. This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint. First visit was outside, tonight we were indoors. So happy I requested indoors. While enjoying dinner I really got a chance to look around and reminisce about old Fiorella Sausage and my visits as a young girl and a married woman. Oh and those monkfish arancini… delish. The rigatoni with Fiorella sausage and the ricotta gnocchi to die for. Everything was wonderful. Can not wait to go back.

    First off I have only been one time, but I live out of state so I'm not likely to be able to go three times in a six month period to be super fair with this review. That said it was fantastic, fabulous and fierce! The service is incredible, the bartender is top notch & has a wonderful singing voice, even our table support staff got caught humming or singing as they worked, then our servers each belted out amazing ballads. While I didn't have the opportunity to peek into the basement kitchen, I can only surmise they are happily listening to heavy metal and have voracious appetites for culinary knowledge. The overall experience was delicious and delightful. We hope our next visit will be extremely similar and sooner than later.

    Can't remember a better experience, the five stars we gave across the board here are no joke. My date (first date for us) sat for as long as we wanted. Each staff person was very nice. Our waitress, first initial J, took care of us like my beautiful Italian mom would have. Apps, entrees and dessert were in the top 5% ever, and not overpriced.

    The food here is delicious and the portions are large. I have ordered from here many times and will continue to order from here. On the whole, the staff was super friendly. Of note, they do not have Coke products. There was an issue with our order- something forgotten- and one of the staff yelled at another staff member and that was upsetting. The noise level was low except for the same staff that yelled being very loud on the phone.
