We loved our experience at Fiorino. I took my partner for her birthday and dinner was amazing. We loved how the meal was presented to us in stages and the food was absolutely delicious. The servers were fantastic and we had a great time. We will definitely be back and recommend everyone to give Fiorino a try. :)

We loved the ambience and finding a restaurant that was calm and easy to have conversation. That food was fantastic and loved the creative expression of the chefs. Wonderful flavour and presentation. It was also so cool that chef or sous chef came a brought a dish. The server was lovely and helpful. Would highly recommend this place!
