Celebrated our daughter's sweet 16 bday (she picked it) and it didn't blow us away like all the other Fiorella dinners we've experienced. The pizzas & vodka sauce pasta were excellent but the portion sizes have reduced - The salad was skimpy & the fava bean crostini (one pirce of bread) should have been offered as a double portion since there were 4 of us. Our host was spectacular but our waitress was average at best. Wasn't the celebratory experience I was hoping for. The service needs improvement!

We always have a great time at Fiorella. The octopus pasta and almond cake were definitely the highlights of my meal, but everything came out promptly and was so delicious. Excellent service, food, and ambiance. We'll definitely be back!

Fantastic dinner! Front of the house Cheyenne and our server Allen were terrific, warm and professional, felt very comfortable with Allen guiding our meal? loved the plump meatballs, the four of us shared Funghi pie as first course thin crust, lots of mushrooms, deep flavors. We all loved my husband's Octopus Sugo, perfectly al dente ink pasta. The Risi E Bisi was spring on a plate with fresh peas and tendrils.

The owner reached out to me with a very warm and thoughtful message which completely changed my sentiment about Fiorella. Will definitely go back and give it another try.
We had a reservation for 11 for a bachelorette party dinner - we absolutely LOVED Fiorella. Multiple people in our party commented about how nice the staff was to us, they even wrote the bride a card! We were so well taken care of and both the staff and food could not have been better. We ordered a bunch of dishes for the table and it was great to be able to try so many things as it's all served family style. THANK YOU for making our dinner so special!
My boyfriend and I shared the chicken and the octopus pasta. I originally left a bad review because some execution issues for the price of our meal left us feeling unsatisfied. The owner since reached out to me and was warm and sincere. We will give it another try. It really is a great addition to the Inner Sunset.

This was our first time at Fiorella and it was memorable. Our server did a wonderful job; attentive, friendly, unrattled by questions about modifications re food allergies. The food was wonderful. Sharp, different flavors on each dish, and beautifully plated. The environment is energetic, so if you are looking for a quiet night out on the town, this probably isn't it. If you are going out with friends for a fun night out, it definitely is. Parking in the neighborhood is brutal, so take a cab or MUNI. We would gladly go back!

Good food, even for the keto-eater. A nice selection of cocktails, including a dirty martini that hit all the right notes. And service that was friendly and attentive but not overly so. We will be back.

My friends and I visited on a Wednesday night for SF restaurant week! We booked a reservation a few days before through their site. We were seated quickly in their upstairs area, which was half inside half outside with roof cover and heaters. We decided to order 2 of their SF restaurant week set courses, and 1 other entree on the side. Appetizers - Arancini Al Parmigiano, Fava Bean Crostino Entrees - Asparagus Pie, Salsiccia Pie, Rigatoncini Al Bolognese Classico Desserts - Guittard Chocolate Budino, Lemon Almond Cake Everything was delicious and so flavorful - we loved that the pizzas were thin crust and the pasta texture was perfect! Our favorites were the Aracini appetizer and the Salsiccia pizza. The Asparagus Pie was interesting -- we learned that we weren't asparagus on pizza people but really enjoyed the garlic cream sauce base. The desserts were refreshing after all of the pizza and pasta, some much needed sweet treats! Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner here and noticed that it was pretty packed for a Wednesday night. Loved the friendly servers as well!

My boyfriend and I chose this place for date night on Thursday since we were also going to the Nightlife museum! We ordered the uni pasta, the prosciutto, and the neighborhood pie. This pizza was amazing, & it was still so good reheated a couple days later. My boyfriend enjoyed the pasta and mentioned every bite had a satisfying taste of uni. So glad we came here, and their cocktails are also pretty good as well
we came at around 4:40 so found seating quickly despite being the last day of restaurant week. The server was really great--she was welcoming and gave good insights on the menu options. We ordered the salisiccia pie, rigatoncini al bolognese Classico as entrees, fava bean crostino and arancini al parmigiano as appetizers, and the lemon almond cake and guittard chocolate budino for dessert. Everything tastes good- not the best ive ever had nor mind blowing, but left us both satisfied with a good meal. The pasta was cooked a bit too al dente. The desserts were very delicious, didn't taste too sweet but was still rich with flavor. The salsa on the pizza adds a nice touch. Also the appetizers were pretty good as well. I probably wouldn't spend a lot of money to go back here, but it was nice to try during sf restaurant week. :)

Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. My best friend had the diavolo and I had the bolognese with their gf pasta. Pasta was very good and we both loved the flavors of our meals.

The vibes, food, drinks and service are immaculate here! I've been twice and tried different things each time and have loved everything. The service is great when not too busy as they're always checking up on you and make your first experience worth it. They have plenty very tasty vegetarian options. The arancini is amazing and would also recommend the cacio e pepe for a light pasta. I haven't felt bloated after eating here either. The asparagus pie is unique and tastes great as well as the risi el bisi being super creamy and comforting! I would pass on the vodka pasta though as I was okay with that flavor. Overall, will definitely be going back to enjoy the rest of the menu. For drinks would def recommend a spritz, they're huge and sweet, and also the spicy margarita when they have it!

First time at any of the Fiorellas. Solid meal, good drinks and service. Arancini are a great appetizer, as is the little gem salad. We split a sausage pizza and the spatchcocked chicken. Both good. Chicken should come with veggies but only has a couple of small baked onions. Rice pudding was good, but budino (chocolate pudding) was a little too rich. Menu of pastas looked good; sampled the cacio pepe, not bad. Good food at reasonable price in an attractive space close to GG Park on 9th Avenue.

Came to Fiorella for restaurant week - made a reservation a week in advance because I've previously tried to do a walk-in at 4:40pm and it was completely booked! Their restaurant week menu was fantastic! As a vegetarian I'm always so happy to see plenty of non-meat options. Started with a cocktail from their spring menu - a banana and rum combo - and ordered the farro, asparagus pizza and almond lemon cake (the set menu also comes with a glass of Prosecco). Farro was delicious - so fresh and comforting! I was a little nervous about not getting a red-sauce pie, but the asparagus pizza was so tasty! The green garlic potato cream was so buttery and flavorful. Loved it! The chocolate budino was my favorite of the desserts we tried - super rich and the sea salt and hazelnuts sprinkled on top made it perfectly salty and sweet! Service was polite and friendly and it didn't seem too hectic given the fact that it was restaurant week. Highly recommend and will definitely come back for more carbs in the future!
