Went there for the first time last night. Amazing place with great atmosphere, delicious food and great service. It’s a BYOB and as bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. We will frequent this gem. Right now they ar on winter menu. I had a the Tortellini soup appetizer and Beef Cheek. Both were phenomenal. My wife had the Raddichio salad and truffle risotto and Parmesan for her main.

New Years Eve, We picked Fiorentini 98 Park Ave, Rutherford, NJ due to their fundraising efforts for Table to Table, We hit gold, everyone and everything was fabulous. I had Eggplant small plate and two small plates for dinner mussels and clams done just perfectly with Crab cake Dijon best ever! The five of all had different offerings and no one was even just ok they loved it. Definitely going back for more exploration

Food was Ok.. fiist we order the appetizer( Octopus & crab cake- the Octopus was so so its not really impressive the Crab cake is good. For the main dish -I or der pasta & my wife order the duck. The pasta carbonara was really a small portion for the price (I feel I order kids menu meal thats how small portion is) the duck was Ok as per wifey..Ambiance is good.. Overall. 3*

Have to give them a credit card number when the rez is made, MAJOR turn off. That was my first clue to stay away. Second clue was the 3 1/2% credit card charge, which the owner benefits from. Street Parking.The place is nice looking. Tables are too close. Music choice is obnoxius for dining. Chef constantly coughing in his sleeve didn't help. Appetizers were okay, main courses left much to be desired. Winter menu offered seafood stew that was nothing close to a stew. It was the mussels appetizer we already had with two chuncks of cod fish, and shrimp, $44. It was hugely disappointing. The pappardelle dish was tiny and puzzling. It looked like some type of appetizer. A grown man would have been unhappy. Don't screw around when people are hungry. This dish should be taken off the menu ASAP as it was the worst I ever had at any restaurant....EVER. It was a single piece of wide pasta wrapped and filled with an enormous amount of butter/oil?, and some type of melted cheese. When I put my fork into it, the contents flooded the dish with the liquid mixture. I was not sure what I was looking at because it was so gross and unappealing. I ate what I could, which wasn't much and left the rest.I would have been sick if I consumed that food. The owner comes off as very profit driven, which makes a person wonder where he cuts corners and hopes you don't notice. We did notice. For what we spent, which was a lot, this was severely disappointing. I was so pissed for what we spent as we walked to the car.The negative reviews are all consistent and correct. Do not go here!

Dined at Fiorentini about a week back. Food, service, and atmosphere was great. We ordered a bit too much, and the server was able to split our dinner into 3 courses. Each came out promptly and were great. Orecchiette with crema di rape, stuffed calamari, and Octopus appetizer were all amazing. Gnochetti with gorgonzola and walnuts, and the venison were both enjoyed as well. High quality/fresh ingredients plus attentive staff made our evening enjoyable. Pear gelato at the end was a treat!

Fiorentini in a farm to table Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is really nice, and the food for the most part has been excellent. Tonight we started with the potato stuffed calamari and the poached pear salad. The potato stuffed calamari was good, but I was expecting it to be better. The poached pear salad was mediocre. The dressing didn’t work well with that salad. It wasn’t that great. The dinners were FANTASTIC! We had the cacio e Pepe risotto and the honey nut squash agnolotti both were AMAZING! For dessert we had the ginger pecan pumpkin and the non bake cheesecake. The ginger pecan pumpkin was delicious! The non bake cheesecake was horrible! It was too bland and definitely not worth getting. The chocolate sorbet that accompanied it was very good! We weee also disappointed the desserts were entirely too small for the price. The last time I went here they had cannolis on the menu that were amazing! Our waitress was great, and we are looking forward to dining here again to try more dishes. I recommend dining at Fiorentini in Rutherford!

This place was such a big disappointment… I love the idea of farm to table but the price point does not match the quality or taste of the food. The only decent dishes were the apps- the mushroom pizza and the bone marrow. The steak was overpriced and nothing to write home about, and while the sea bass I got was very well cooked, the bitter collard greens overpowered the dish. I’m not even going to leave a comment on the dessert…
The ambience was really strange too. While the restaurant looks like a rustic, cozy restaurant, there was night club music blasting in the background.
As my husband best described it, this restaurant is like lipstick on a pig.
Unfortunately we didn’t make it to dinner. We came in 15 minutes after they opened. Zero people inside. The hostess was on the phone and didn’t look up at us once or even motion to welcome us or say wait a minute. We stood there for about 5 minutes and could see about 6 employees staring at us from the back who didn’t say hello or come up to greet us whatsoever. This was the most awkward experience entering a restaurant I’ve ever had. It’s a shame bc I was scouting it for a large upcoming event.

Went for our anniversary and throughly enjoyed. Started with the honeynut squash agnolotti and cozze. Both were very fresh and excellent. We then had the sea bass and venison for entree and the were great as well. Dessert was the unbaked cheesecake, beautiful presentation and good but not as great as the dinner. Service was exceptional. Would highly recommend!

We went for a birthday celebration and really enjoyed the food. The bite sizes are larger than expected but thoroughly enjoyed. The Fall menu featuring the pizza with mushrooms was amazing. The ambiance is great as the music is background, not unnecessarily loud. The staff were really great. Highly recommend for a visit.
