loved it!! the pasta was delicious, and the portion sizes were just right. The sauce for the bread was just okay, but everything else was great.

Had shrimp and calamari appetizer with wine and IPA later. Servers were attentive and service was fast. They didn’t have the wine I wanted but yeh substitute was good enough. Food was just ok for us. Great place for a date or a small gathering.

Service to deliver my food takes along time for a spare ribs.Food is ok expensive.place is ok. Restrooms need cleaning. I don’t recommend this restaurant. Half rack of spareribs $35.

The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere, and the service was exceptionally friendly, which I really appreciated. However, the food itself was just okay. Good spot for a casual lunch, but I wouldn’t go back.

I regret to say that my last two visits to IL FIORA have been extremely disappointing. On my most recent visit, which was for my son’s birthday, I ordered the smoked salmon salad with extra salmon. Unfortunately, I was served a plate stacked with arugula and only three small pieces of salmon—even after requesting and paying for more. When I raised this issue, the server did not handle it directly. Instead, a supervisor came to inform me the dish had been comped, but the situation was handled in a way that felt dismissive rather than corrective.
What made the experience even worse was the unprofessional behavior of the kitchen staff, who left the kitchen and stared at me as if I were at fault for pointing out the problem. This type of conduct is unacceptable in any restaurant setting.
The service overall has consistently been inattentive, with staff often disengaged and more focused on conversations with each other than on their guests. I have also been told on multiple occasions that the staff are “new,” but the repeated issues point more to poor training and management.
While some of my family members enjoy the food here, I find the menu uninspired and lacking in creativity. Given the ongoing issues with service and professionalism, I can no longer recommend IL FIORA as a dining option in Buena Park.

Ambience n service was nice. But food is quite mediocre. I think its more korean-italian fusion. If you want to go for fully Italian restaurant I dont think this is the right place. It was just ok.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but felt compelled to share our disappointing experience at Il Fiora during my sister's graduation dinner a few weeks ago.
I called ahead to reserve a table for 8 and made it clear this was a special occasion. Though our original reservation was for 7pm, I later called to move it to 8pm due to the ceremony running longer. After multiple attempts to a phone number with no answer, I finally reached someone who reassured me they could accommodate us at 8pm despite their usual cut-off time of 7:30. They acknowledged they would be understanding since it is graduation season.
On the day of, we were about 15 minutes late--again, due to the ceremony-- and even tried calling to inform them, but no one answered, and the voicemail was full. When our group arrived at 8:15, we were told our table had been given away without even calling or messaging our group. Despite knowing it was a celebration, they made no effort to reach us.
We waited 20 minutes outside the restaurant while staff largely ignored us. When we finally asked if they can give us an honest answer on whether we can still be seated, the response was vague and unhelpful. We were even accused of not calling or texting them, despite our attempts....
What should have been a joyful evening was marred by poor communication and a lack of basic courtesy. Thankfully, another restaurant welcomed us and salvaged the night. Sadly, I can't say the same for Il Fiora.

Good food. Not hurried service but reasonably attentive. A good place for food and extended conversation as there was no pressure to leave after the meal was done. Can be a bit noisy at times though.
