Fiorellino is a quintessential Montréal spot! It’s gorgeous, perfectly located downtown, and always buzzing with energy. I’ve been coming here since 2016, and it remains a staple for a great pizza in Montréal! The Vibe & Service: I almost always visited on Friday or Saturday evenings, and you should know: it is packed and very loud. They did have a DJ playing music (vibes 10/10), which creates a great atmosphere, but the tables are very close to each other, so expect an intimate (and noisy) experience! Logistics can be a bit of a shuffle. This time we had a 7:00 PM reservation for six people, but still spent 10 minutes huddled in the cold, cramped entryway before being moved to the bar. We weren't seated at our actual table until 20-30 minutes past our reservation time. Service over the years has been consistently "average" but functional, but definitely felt the pressure of the weekend rush. The Food & Drinks: The food is the saving grace. The cocktails are fantastic and well-crafted. The pizza is the absolute star as the dough is incredibly light and airy with that perfect wood-fired char. I’ve tried the gnocchi and the polpete (meatballs) in the past; they are delicious, though definitely on the pricier side for the portions. Verdict: Go for the incredible pizza and the energy. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a lively weekend scene, but just don't expect a quiet conversation or a perfectly timed table!
