    Our experience was a fixed menu, with multiple choices, and everything was fabulous. We went for Valentine’s Day, and it was a very nice experience with excellent food at a reasonable price. The only issue was that the restaurant sent us a message about an hour before saying that there would be no alcohol service, but we were welcome to BYOB. Something to be aware of if you book this place. Not sure why they did not have alcohol that night or whether they don’t have a liquor license. The nice thing was, however, they did allow us to bring our own wine.

    As always the staff at Fiorella goes above and beyond. We arrived for a Valentine’s Day reservation at 5:30 inside but an earlier seating wasn’t budging and we ended up not being sat until around 6. The staff immediately apologized for the wait and set us at ease by saying, “please take your time and don’t feel rushed — we have rearranged seatings.” We then were given a welcome glass of wine and a complimentary pasta for our patience. Again the staff just went above and beyond. Every dish was perfectly prepared and delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience once again.

    What an incredible restaurant. They have parking/valet options. Shoot out to Nick and Greg for taking care of the car. We got there early but they were able to seat us. They have high chairs for the little ones. Food is outstanding. Service is even better. Make sure you go, and go often.

    One of the best meals I’ve had in Philly the past year (and some of the best lamb I’ve ever had in any city ever) and they’ve only been open a few weeks. Really well executed with interesting flavors and spices I haven’t tasted elsewhere (uni tabbouleh!). Some dishes are on the saltier side if you’re very sensitive to it is only slight caveat. Service was friendly and professional. Tasting menu was an excellent value and a ton of food. (Don’t sleep on the desserts) . Planning a return visit soon.
