Had an amazing experience. The food and staff were amazing. Such a gem of restaurant. My family and I will definitely be returning.

First time at Fiore Rosso in Bryn Mawr. This is a Marc Vetri restaurant so expectations were high. The place looks great and the tables are not set up on top of one another (a frequent complaint of mine). Overall, the experience was very good and we will definitely come back, but we made some poor menu choices. We started off with a "seafood pizza" that was a type of puffed bread with almond butter and seafood in olive oil sides. It was interesting more so than particularly tasty and hard to find the perfect bite. My beef tartare was excellent with maybe the slightest bit too much ground coarse pepper. For the pasta dish, I had a ravioli brudo that was light and tasty. Evan had a pasta dish with red sauce that I liked way more than he did. I had the wagyu filet and Evan had the filet mignon. Mine was perfectly cooked and very tasty but some of it was over salted. I actually liked Evan's steak better even though it was $30 cheaper. Neither of us liked our sides. My cauliflower cacio e pepe sounded way better than it tasted (too heavy, too bitter) and Evan's mushrooms were similarly heavy with unnecessary cream. Dessert was a little boring frankly. My chocolate cake was fine. Evan had an ice cream sundae they made table side. It was a nice production, but the sundae was nothing special. Service by Ben and Vincent was excellent. So with some better menu selections we likely would have had a better experience.

Food was ok, but that was it. The atmosphere is loud, the high ceilings just makes it difficult to have a conversation.

Food and ambience were spectacular. Service was also top notch. Really interesting menu with lots of great options from pasta, steaks and apps.

Well, here is a place that provides. Atmosphere, ambiance, quality both in service and selection.I stopped in for the New Years celebration at dinner. First, started with a nice smoked old fashioned house blend. Exceptional. CJ is a very friendly and knowledgeable bartender with outstanding skills. Stop by and ask for him. You won't regret it.The meal was one of a kind. I had the 40oz porterhouse, med-rare with a side of leeks done by the house. If I had to use one word, it would be " Exceptional." Cooked perfectly. Seasoned perfectly. And Yes, I ate it all.If you miss an opportunity to enjoy a dining experience at Fiore Rosso, you will regret it. Stop in and ask for the outstanding and always helpful manager, Iva, she can get you taken care of for a reservation or just info about the restaurant.Great experience, will definitely be going back to try out the rest of the menu!

We had dinner at Fiore Rosso the other night. Food is very expensive and the pasta dishes were all overly salted and very greasy. Portions are tiny for the price. I got the Vongole and there were no actual clamshells- just a few small clams dumped on the side. Worst linguine with clams dish I've ever had. All our dishes took forever to be served, and were cold when they finally came. Waiter was not attentive and we couldn't wait to leave. Food was terrible and service was subpar for $250. We will not be back. This places fools you with the Vetri affiliation- it's awful.

Born and raised on the Main Line can honestly say this is the best food I’ve ever had. I am a picky eater; vegetarian, no garlic, no onions please and they have something for everyone. To start..the cauliflower, brussels sprouts, the bean dip.. amazing. It is priced reasonably, the staff is incredibly attentive. My glass was never empty. The decor is stunning. Gosh I love this restaurant. Also great bar to hang out. Great date place, great place for friends.. Main line needed a fantastic place like this!Parking: There’s a large parking lot. Plenty of free parking.

I was charged regular prices $14/ glass of wine vs the Happy Hour price on menu of $8. I asked for it to be corrected and was still charged $10/glass. It was not worth asking for a third bill. Focaccia bread was not warm but other app was good. Would not recommend, service was poor.
Good food (although my goodness please allow some a la carte sauces on the menu for the steak and maybe some mashed potatoes) but after the second time there I may not be able to return. The music played is WAY too loud, each time I’ve been there, and it’s impossible to have a conversation. I asked for it to be turned down 3 times and while they did they kept jacking it up again and then would deny turning up the volume despite it audibly going way up mid- verse. The manager said something about ‘the atmosphere ‘ needing loud music, but the restaurant was nearly empty. My family wanted to leave before the food came because it was honestly hurting their ears. I know from when Tredici was there that this is an echo chamber of a space and clearly I appreciate that. But seriously, no one wants an ‘atmosphere’ where dinner for five is $500 but you cannot talk to each other. Turn down the noise, Fiore.

The ambiance was decent, a nice space. But the food was overpriced for what it was, it didn't taste great and the steaks came with no sides nor do they have sauce. Nice staff and good service, only three tables in the restaurant and it took over an hour for our entrees. They were blasting heavy metal music and we couldn't hear each-other without raising our voices. We asked for them to quiet it down, they did but then made it even louder a few minutes later.

It wasn't the best. Bitter salad very rustic. Disappointed service was excellent ambiance was okay music was too loud

There are those chefs/restauranteurs who are so synonymous with a location that you never expect them to move beyond it. For the longest time that Philly chef was Marc Vetriso when I first saw that he was opening the next restaurant in Bryn Mawr I had to check to story lead a few times to ensure that it wasn't a typo!But seeing was believing that led to a fantastic Italian steakhouse with meals and mangia of epic proportions. But this is a steakhouse that puts as much effort into its fantastic pasta, antipasti, and side while encouraging a family-style meal of sharing.For our first experience here we had the Sunday Dinner special with an amazing prime rib and the chance to indulge in a plentiful assortment of sides, breads, and antipasti beforehand. Its a special that they only have on special occasions these days, but the prime rib was so popular that it does make.Between regular events like a good happy hour and Wine Wednesdays, to plenty of special dinners and a selection of in-house art from various artists hanging on its walls, there are plenty of reasons to check out Fiore Rosso on the regular! But the best reasons will always be the epic drinks and quality meals!

This was 15+/10 no questions asked! We had amazing food, drinks & quality time with our friends. Becca, our cocktail girl knocked it our of the park & Steph, our waitress was so accommodating and lovely! This was easily the best filet I’ve ever had. I’m gluten & dairy free and had the easiest experience. Don’t sleep on this place if you’re in the Greater Philly area (& love a good splurge night). You won’t be disappointed! Thank you again!
Fantastic!
