    We had a wonderful dining experience during our post valentine celebration with some friends. We have been wanting to try FiorItaly for some time and we were not disappointed. Wait staff was excellent, even though it was a busy Saturday evening she did not rush us. Food was excellent and you could tell everything was made to order. If you like a fresh Italian meal and don’t wish to head into the city I would suggest giving FiorItaly a try.

    My waitress Fran (Frannie) was the best. I even asked her what day she works so that I can come back just to have her as my waitress. The food and service was awesome. Definitely a 10 out of 10 and would definitely recommend.

    We had a great dinner at Earls for Valentine’s Day/my husband’s birthday. The California roll was so fresh, as was the corn and avocado dip. Highly recommend both! The mojito was so good.
