    Carrot cake
    Hannah C.

    This was our second year in a row of having our Easter dinner at Cafe Fiore and I think it's a great place to have it! Service was quick (almost too quick we felt like we were being rushed since it was the holiday). But besides that, the experience was good. Food was delicious and portions were HUGE. I was very happy with my decision, the chicken genovese. Two large pieces of chicken and eggplant on a huge bed of pasta. I really loved the pesto sauce, I soaked it up with their delicious garlic bread. For dessert I got the carrot cake, which I thought was okay. I wish I went with something else. We had a big group of people and everyone was happy with their meals.

    Enjoyed our first visit to Cafe Fiore. Early enough (5 pm) to enjoy Happy Hour pricing on several items. The arancini was crispy on the outside and very flavorful. The garlic knots were excellent!! I enjoyed my arugula salad with sliced almonds, cranberries and Parmesan cheese. My daughter said her linguini with broccoli was delicious and my husband enjoyed his lasagna bolognese. The servers were very attentive and food came out quick. Would definitely eat here again!

    First time at Cafe Fiore we stopped by on a Sunday afternoon what a wonderful experience . As soon as we entered the establishment we were greeted by the staff. Super friendly and good parking. Very good Italian food. We ordered the portobello mushroom as an appetizer came out, piping hot with lots of cheese very tasty. I ordered the Veal and Shrimp with eggplant and vodka sauce nice size portion and lots a flavor not to mention you get a salad with your meal, which is always a plus. My husband ordered the Veal Fiore with fresh tomatoes the Veal was tender and cooked to perfection. Very clean atmosphere. Decorated very nice . Nice place to take a date , quiet atmosphere.

    I absolutely love the bread here and the Mushrooms Ravioli is amazing. This place is great. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it's really nice inside. The service was great. My water was filled on point each time the drinks were great too.

    Lovely decor. White tablecloths with red dinner napkins. Atmosphere was casual . Our group was able to hold a conversation easily. Ice water was filled several times during the dinner. They brought out a large bowl with hot garlic knots . Delicious flavor and soft bread. Nice salad was served with every entree. I ordered veal parmigiana which had great flavor as well as a large portion .

    Chicken genovese
    Michele C.

    Cafe Fiore is one of my favorite places to eat. They have a decent sized dining room and a huge bar area. It's been newly renovated. They have ample parking. They start you off with a bowl of garlic knots. These are hands down the BEST garlic knots I've ever had! I always order their Chicken Genovese. It's fried thinly sliced eggplant, a layer of tomatoes then lastly chicken breast. It's served over top of pasta with a creamy pesto sauce. It comes with a side salad and their balsamic dressing is very good. Their prices are reasonable. Our server was very attentive and they were pretty busy the night I went but she still checked in often.

    Came here for a wedding. Appetizer, stuff mushrooms and clams were the best. Main course fish lemon butter sauce, outstanding, ziti good along with the eggplant. All the food was very tasty. Wipe up everything with their knots. Service very good, parking a challenge .

    Garlic parm house bread

    I went to a event dinner at cafe Fiore yesterday and for a Tuesday it was packed the parking was full , thankfully the restaurant is located in a plaza so there's still plenty of parking . Walking in the place is very nice plenty of lightening clean and with a modern chic vibe. The staff was amazing and our waiter was phenomenal! He greeted us with a smile made sure he wrote everything down and did not make a single mistake and was very pleasant ! We started with a red sangria which was great , perfectly balanced for me ( not too sweet and not to bitter ) . Next we were served the house garlic parm bread ... and it was amazing I ate 3 rolls ( no regrets ) and I took some home and reheated it was still so soft and delicious ! Highly recommend the bread ! For appetizers we were served calamari which was a little underwhelming as it was a little dry , but with the marinara sauce it was okay . The mozzarella sticks were good. The clams came with bacon and if you like clams they were really good , however my favourite was the mushrooms ( these mushrooms were huge but cooked to perfection ) . For entres we got the eggplant with ricotta , chicken parm and cafe Fiore pasta . The eggplant ricotta was cooked perfectly , the chicken was a little dry . But the pasta which was like a twist on penne à la vodka ... was my favourite it was absolutely delicious !!! I mostly ate the pasta ( I had seconds even though I was stuffed .. but I just couldn't stop eating it ) highly recommend the cafe fiore pasta ! For dessert we were served tiramisu which was delicious as well ! Can't wait to come back and try some different dishes!

    HH menu selection

    Definitely not my 1st time here. I ordered the full meal as I missed the HH by a few minutes arriving late. Actually you get the pasta and salad with it for $5 more than on the HH special. Definitely worth every penny as it's consistently always good. Never had I had a bad meal here. I usually sit at the bar for the specials. I didn't get any drinks but usually I do the espresso martini. The ambiance is very warm and comforting no matter where you seat.

    Upon recommendation, I visited the Cafe Fiore Restaurant because I was looking for a GOOD Italian restaurant option in Cromwell. Right off Route 9, along Route 372, Cafe Fiore has its own parking lot parking in front of a larger shopping plaza near the Walmart in Cromwell. I went in for a late lunch with my two daughters (pre-teen and a sleeping baby). The restaurant inside has a very classic upscale look, and I felt a little under dressed after coming from an outdoor charity event, but it wasn't an issue. There was plenty of seating (they have both indoor and outdoor), and we chose to eat inside at a booth, and the staff was very welcoming. We both got Chicken Parmigana off the menu. The sauce that Cafe Fiore makes is a sweeter sauce. It caught me off guard, but I quite enjoyed it and thought it was delicious. I'll be back the next time I'm in the area and looking for some yummy Italian food.

    Cheesecake

    I visited Cafe Fiore with my mom on a Friday night. It was very busy and we didn't make a reservation but they were still able to accommodate us. Our waitress was nice and attentive. I ordered the cucumber cooler (gin cocktail) and it was refreshing and tasty. They provided free garlic knots as the bread for the table that were buttery and delicious. We also ordered fried mozzarella and Caesar salad which had the perfect amount of dressing. For entree, I ordered the chicken parm with vodka sauce and my mom got the sole francaise (lemon fish fillet). Both were SO GOOD. I love that both the chicken and the fish melted in my mouth and the portion sizes were big. For dessert we got the crème brûlée and the cheesecake. It wasn't the best dessert I ever had, but it was still good. I would highly recommend eating at Cafe Fiore!!

    The food was good and the service, fine. I'd go back again. The restaurant seemed quite popular as all the tables were filled.

Our waitress was absolutely amazing. She was kind, attentive, and whenever something was forgotten, she immediately went to speak with the kitchen and tried to make it right. That being said, our table definitely seemed to fall into a bit of a communication dead zone. My chicken parm was forgotten, and while waiting for it the rest of my family's food got cold. They ended up sending their pasta back to be reheated, which also took a while. Our drinks were forgotten at one point as well, and our to go dessert sat waiting for a long time before anyone brought it over. The food itself was great and we still enjoyed celebrating together, but overall the experience would have been much smoother with better communication between the kitchen and staff. The perfume machine in the bathroom is a fun touch

Drinks stayed filled, and the waiter came by to make sure we didn't want any refills on any alcoholic beverages as they were being consumed. He recommended a few appetizers for the table. We got to try the chef special, garlic bread with ricotta, and calamari. All very good. As was the bread and oil that I think comes with every meal. After I heard the specials, I went with the short rib gnocchi, but the salmon with spaghetti squash was a close second. I wasn't disappointed in my dish. It was a really good size and I ended up taking half of it back with me, something tells me it's gonna be even better the next day as most Italian food is. My one regret is that I didn't order the lemon cheesecake to go. All of the desserts sounded amazing, especially the hazelnut tart, however, the lemon cheesecake is super cute and I heard from other people that have been to this restaurant before that it is delicious. Maybe next time!
