- AAkashNashville •1 review5.0Dined todayWe came here for Valentine’s Day and they were so kind. My wife’s flight was delayed and we ran super later but they still accommodated us. Additionally, our server, Jordan, was amazing. He was a pleasure to interact with us. He really cared about each of the table he attended to.More infoLa Fontana Della CittaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Rittenhouse Square•4.3
- ZZacharyPhiladelphia County •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAs 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.More infoFiorella PhiladelphiaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Bella Vista•4.9
