We did not choose to put the tip, as the service was not good, but for our surprise an amount was debited in addition to the account amount, that is, they included the tip. So bad!

We wanted to get in to Fiore's one last time before they closed. What an unbelievable meal !!! Apps, main course, dessert.....all fantastic. Roxana is the best. She took such good care of us and helped us pick out a really nice bottle of Italian wine to pair with our meal. Her attention to detail was top notch. She made our night. Great food, drink and service.....how can you beat it ? We will miss this home away from home.

I'm sad to see Ristorante Fiore closing. This is a great Italian restaurant in the north end that has consistently served up wonderful food with an amazing staff. Thank you for all the memorable meals I've enjoyed here throughout the years.
So sad to see this awesome North End Restaurant close! It was warm in the winter and the roof top deck was the best place to be in the summer! Good Luck in your Retirement Arrivedacci !!!

We visited Fiore last week and it was FANTASTIC. We were visiting and looking for some nice Italian food. The ambiance in the restaurant is so cute and warm. We had the meatballs, bruschetta, and the bombolotti. The bombolotti the pasta was so fresh and the sausage was great. 10/10 would visit again.

The best part about Ristorante Fiore is their willingness to let 4 friends come in at 9:30 on a Sunday night and let us stay until 11:00. Our waiter was very nice and told us to stay as long as we needed and there was no rush. The food was good but I have had better from the area. The interior is quite dated and the restaurant doesn't have the intimacy of other restaurants. If I had a family this is where I would go for sure. There is enough space between the tables that you are not on top of each other and the whole vibe seems more family oriented.

I have dined at Ristorante Fiore several times and I've only had great experiences. We had a Birthday dinner for my wife and we were not disappointed. The staff was very attentive and polite and the food was excellent! Highly recommend Ristorante Fiore.

Was pleasantly surprised at how good this restaurant was. Went for lunch on Sunday and, while a lot of other restaurants in the area were packed, this one was quiet (though it filled up later). It made me wonder why--but--no need to worry! The lobster ravioli and gnocchi my friends had was delicious, but I was super impressed with the Spaghetti alle Cozze. Really good mussels, a wonderful spicy tomato sauce and homemade spaghetti. Recommended.

We only came here because our Lyft driver recommended it. I guess we trusted a reliable source who lived all his life in Boston. This place did not disappoint. We came a little after the lunch rush so there was no wait and it was on a Monday afternoon, so not a lot of people. There were quite a bit of patrons in the restaurant but more were seated outside. It was great weather so I think that's why people sat outside. In any case, we were seated outside right away. Our waters were also filled immediately. Our waitress gave us some time to decide on our order. But we knew what we wanted right away. While we were waiting for our food, she gave us some bread but she forgot to give us some olive oil. No big deal. We waited a bit longer and our food came. We ordered the spaghetti with shrimp, the Caesar salad and the pizza with prosciutto and burrata. Let's start with the pizza. I thought it was going to be small but it was enough for two or even three people to share. The dough was pillowy. The crust wasn't hard. The toppings were plentiful. Lots of cheese, lots of prosciutto and lots of tomato. It was a good balance of flavors. The pizza was cooked perfectly. The Caesar salad was amazingly dressed and cheesy. Like every nook and cranny of the salad had dressing and the croutons weren't just not buttery but it had a nice flavor to them. Like who talks about croutons on a salad? It was definitely a really really good salad. I mean if you added grilled chicken on it, it would have been a really good meal. We also ordered the spaghetti with shrimp. The menu stated that it was going to be spicy but it wasn't. Oh and before the server left she asked if we wanted some cheese and red pepper flakes sprinkled on top and we gladly said yes. Anyhow, the red pepper flakes gave it a bit of spice and I was okay with that. The pasta didn't seem like your normal pasta, it was a different texture but it was still a good noodle. The sauce was everywhere and it coated every piece of noodle and shrimp in the bowl. There were 6 large shrimps in the serving. It was good well and not rubbery at all. Overall, it was an excellent meal and if I had another stomach, I would have probably ordered more items from them menu. It was really really good. I guess you can say that I would come back. Btw, it was also priced well for the portions that you get. Again, definitely coming back here. Glad we listed to our Lyft driver.

The server seemed new but got through the specials alright but then disappeared after she took our order but got appetizer drinks. She did ask how our main course food was, however. The wine for the main course arrived early but at least I guess we didn't have to wait for it with our meal. She never returned after that except to give us the check and not sure where she was. We were on the second floor. The separate checks were not accurate and had to be changed so perhaps writing the orders down would be better in the future. The best part was the Bombolotti lobster pasta which was delicious. But the lack of service, when we arrived in an empty second floor, was odd and removing the olive oil for the still on the table bread as well.
The service was good but I can't say the same for some of the food. It was well presented but just the taste just wasn't there. For what it's priced at I was expecting much more.

I wish I had never found this place on OpenTable. I could say plenty of negative things if I wanted to. They'd all be accurate. Paint your walls if you care though (Sat night rush). Words are wind.

Food was good, not exceptional. The Swordfish and chicken saltimbocca were very good despite the swordfish being overcooked. The lobster ravioli was not good; it didn't have much lobster flavor and the pasta for the ravioli had the bite of a frozen pasta (thick, heavy). The best aspect of the night was our waiter who made sure we were well cared for and satisfied; a big thank you to him, a real professional.

Went here twice while visiting Boston. If you plan on going during the weekend definitely make a reservation as we had to wait an hour for a table. We sat outside and we loved the lights and appreciated the outdoor heater! The staff was friendly and our food was brought out relatively quickly. We ordered burrata for the table. It wasn't what we were expecting. The cheese was more of a mozzarella texture and not the usual runny type. I ordered the carbonara which was really good. The portion is very large. Can definitely share with someone. The second night I ordered the ricotta ravioli. It came with a red sauce was pretty standard flavor wise. For drinks we ordered espresso martinis and they were well made. Had a good balance of alcohol to coffee/mocha flavor. Would recommend ordering one!

Attended an industry event held at Fiore's in Boston. Food was excellent. Veal was melt in your mouth delicious. Presentation was excellent. Lots of great restaurants in the area, but this is certainly worth a a return visit when I'm back in Boston
