   Food was soooo good, delicious! Atmosphere was gorgeous, great crowd, lively but not too loud, warm and comfy, staff very attentive, great date night, friend get together, work dinner, celebratory meal, etc. A GEM!

   Such a disappointment for a Vetri restaurant. The food was a total disappointment. Salad was a bizarre concoction and pasta was inexcusably awful for an upscale Italian restaurant. How can such a high end restaurant with bad food exist and how can Vetri attach his name to it. This place will not continue to exist if it depends solely on the bar scene. I have never written a review of a restaurant on Opentable but this was so bad I took the time to share with others. Don't eat here until Vetri makes changes and improves the food and the service. Service was poor and staff appear to be poorly trained.

   It was a nightmare , I’m sorry to say that but I never come back. Food, ambience and staff were horrible. It’s a pity because the local is fantastic and it could be one of the best restaurants in the area but it’s the opposite.

   ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! Upon being sat and ordering, it took an hour before our food arrived. Not once in that time frame did our server come to check on us or offer to refresh our drinks. Once they realized their error, they rushed the food out, and the quality was AWFUL!!! Food was over salted or under seasoned, not well portioned, or of high quality for a $34 entree price. ABSOLUTELY NOT GOING BACK!!!

   Service poor and slow. Food skimpy in portion size. No bread or butter or Parmesan cheese. Served a person in recovery who asked for non alcoholic beer - an alcoholic beer. Extremely overpriced

   Great atmosphere, excellent food, and friendly and competent staff. Had to wait to be seated over 20 mins past scheduled Open Table time when hostess said it would be just a minute. Had I known the actual wait time, I would have taken a seat at the bar with my guest rather than wait standing. Was surprised staff did not offer complimentary drink for inconvenience given premium nature of restaurant. Also suggest restaurant add Cabernet Sauvignon by the glass as it wasn’t an option. Super Tuscan was excellent though!

   Thanks for the feedback, Chris! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and friendly staff at il Fiore. We apologize for the wait time, we understand how frustrating that can be. We appreciate your suggestion about adding Cabernet Sauvignon by the glass to our menu. We are actually in the process of revamping our wine menu! We're always looking to improve and your feedback is valuable to us. We hope to welcome you back soon for another excellent experience.

   Service is great. Would not recommend the short rib cappelletti. It is listed as an entree and is definitely a small plate/appetizer portion.

   Hi Meg, Thanks for the review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our service and found it to be great. We're sorry to hear that our Short Rib Cappelletti didn't meet your expectations. For any of our pasta dishes, we hand make each item and they are designed as a tasting or starter portion. I do apologize if this was not better explained to you. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and exceed your expectations. Gina Alfano General Manager

    I have already written bad reviews of this restaurant but those were for previous chefs. The new chef is more competent but that doesn't make this restaurant more palatable. Our server was obnoxious, condescending, and just plain stupid. Neither I, nor my husband, plan to go back.
