One thing that strikes you immediately is the red carpet to enter the restaurant. It was definitely a nice touch, as were the linen table cloths. The place was spacious and we were immediately greeted by the owner with a welcoming smile. Four of us arrived on a Tuesday afternoon and the restaurant only had a few other guests. We ordered calamari and bruschetta for appetizers. They were both delicious. For main meals we had shrimp salads, a portobello mushroom panini, and Italian hero. All were delicious. For dessert we ordered tiramisu, croissants with cannoli, and lemon marscapone with shaved white chocolate on the top. Again nicely done. All in all a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend this place as they try their best to make you feel like you're extra special. read more

Not only was the food absolutely fantastic, the owner is a really friendly, helpful and wonderful person to talk to. I really enjoyed the Lamb Curry, which he recommended. Definitely worth stopping in here! read more

My husband and I had an early dinner/ late lunch and it was a great experience! First the food was delicious. I had the butter chicken panini and my husband had the filet special. The filet was hands down the BEST steak we've ever eaten - it literally melted in your mouth. The only (minor) hiccup was the server did not write our order down when taken, so the side with my panini was incorrect and my husband had to remind her to bring his drink. Overall the staff was friendly and the food amazing. We'll definitely be back! read more

The ambiance was a bit odd for the surrounding area but it seemed pretty fancy. The service was fantastic. Very friendly and welcoming. The food however wasn't up to my standard. I tried their muscles and they tasted old and chewy. I also had their Alfredo which tasted like alcohol. I know you are supposed to cook with it but it was more like they marinated it in it. Overall the food wasn't great but they were helpful and kind about it. read more

We were staying near Charlottesville and found this new place. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. I was pleasantly surprised that they had Indian and American food! It's great to have a variety to please everyone in my family! read more

We tried out this newish place in the Ruckersville area tonight. The inside is very nice and the owner greets you with a big smile. Caprese with a bacon jam was delicious. I had the Lamb Curry which was seasoned well and had a good spice to it. The addition of fried onions on top of the rice was surprisingly good. My friends got the Butter Chicken & the Filet Mignon. They were both impressed by their meals. The owner checked on us often and was very friendly. You could feel that he appreciated us being there. We will definitely return and try other menu items. read more

Recommended by a coworker in Charlottesville, we drove down from Culpeper for a family birthday dinner, and we were so happy we did! The menu is an eclectic mix of Mediterranean and Indian dishes and there is something for everyone. The zucchini and mozzarella sticks were ordered for appetizers arrived quickly, hot and were delicious. We had Butter Chicken, Pork Milanese, Salmon Gorgonzola Linguine and personal pizza and we finished every bite. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere is classy without being pretentious. Vinod was a wonderful host and sang Happy Birthday in the Dutch tradition. Highly recommend! read more

It's nice to have a new restaurant in the Ruckersville area. Fiorano's has just opened, in fact it seems to be a soft opening as there is not an online listing or social media presence yet. Our host tonight was fantastic. He was extremely personable and very attentive. The food we had was good, but pricey. However, I really want to try the lunch menu which is served from 11:00 to 5:00 and has a variety of soups, salads, and sandwiches. Hope the establishment does well. read more

The service was OK. The food took a long time to come out and was cold. My teenage daughter didn't eat her sandwich as it was way too greasy as well. The ambiance is nice. read more

I cannot stress what a wonderful ambiance this place has. My sisters and I stopped here based on other reviews. We ordered the lamb, butter chicken and paneer. All were delicious and nicely portioned. Each was preceded with a small salad and (wonderful) house dressing. The presentation was lovely, service was great. If you are in the area - don't miss it. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. The butter chicken and cheese cake were both very good.

Red carpet treatment from start to finish! We were treated like royalty, and ate like kings! Now that I think about it, even the heating ducts were painted gold! The waiter knew every detail about their fare, and generously offered a taste of their samosa appetizer. Lunch was absolutely devine. And a special shout out for their amazing french fries -- I don't think I've ever had better! read more

We got 3 different dishes and all 3 dishes were bland. Flavorless. I will not return and do not recommend.

Wonderfully delightful experience! We were not expecting such a lovely dining space and almost left when we saw it was in a strip mall next to a hotel. Don't let that deter you from enjoying this delicious restaurant. The service was exceptional, the ambiance lovely and the food was delicious. Would certainly visit again and again. read more

I have eaten here on several occations at varying times and the food is outstanding! It is a beautiful restaurat and a very nice ambiance. Great service as well. Very nice bar area to have a drink and some dancing with your husband or for a girls night out. I highly recommend Fiorano's and will continue to visit. read more

It's a friendly place to eat with great service They also do karaoke on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday They have great singers and if u have time go visit for yourself The owner is totally alsome read more

0 STARS do not go here. This place will give u food poisoning. Went there yesterday got food poisoning. Horrible service and horrible food. Tried calling to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else owner just apologized and said I was the only one. read more

We love this wonderful restaurant. The service and food are amazing. Very special place to enjoy a fine meal and warm, caring experience.

Service to treat you like royalty. The food is truly fantastic. I'm not sure where they source their vegetables, for example, but it's like they were picked from an organic farm an hour before your food is served. In terms of ambiance, it's plenty nice particularly for this area. They're open all the time so this is the perfect spot to grab a nice meal on the way to or from the Charlottesville airport. read more

Excellent tasty food good service. The owner is a pleasure. A nice place for a quiet good meal.

The best lobster ravioli I ever had! It came with salad and a crustini. It was homemade and stuffed full of lobster! The service was very good. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful! A man that I believe was the owner Was extremely pleasant and kind! The ambiance was on the intimate side. I highly recommend! read more

Food is good quality, and the service is awesome. Comfortable restaurant setting and reasonable prices.

Great food and service, the wedding soup & French onion soup were very tasty and the burgers & pizza were excellent! It's refreshing to receive such great hospitality, something missing from most restaurants these days. Will be back again! read more

We are thrilled that we chose this amazing hidden gem restaurant for my 60th birthday dinner. From the moment we walked from the red carpet to enter Fiorano, we were welcomed with a smile and were treated as if we were celebrities (to be sure, we are NOT, just locals). The ambiance is beautiful, and every person receives royal treatment from the owner Vinod and his staff. Fiorano's menu ranges the spectrum from wraps and pizzas to a variety of authentic Mediterranean, Indian, Greek, Danish, and American dishes with generous portions. It was nice to see that the outstanding service that customers received was administered the same for the lineman after a hard day's work, the family sharing a meal together, and a party celebrating a special occasion. Since that special birthday dinner, we have visited Fiorano again and again. Each time the service is impeccable, and the meals are exceptionally tasty. The bar side of the restaurant provides social comradery with Wednesday Karaoke Nights and Saturday Evenings featuring music from the 70's, 80's and 90's. It is fun to spend an evening socially interacting with people who will soon become friends. We ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMEND Fiorano for your next family meal, enchanting special occasion evening, fun-time social night, or to host an event. We promise you will have a truly amazing dinner experience and look forward to coming back for your next extraordinary evening out. read more

Extremely racist establishment! Don't walk run away!!!! My book club and I booked a reservation there two weeks ago and the host look mortified when 10 black women walked into the restaurant. Before we could even confirm our reservation she said they did not have anywhere to seat us. We had an email confirmation after speaking with the manager to confirm the reservation and the host refused to acknowledge or look at it. The restaurant had plenty of seating available and we were told a manager was not available for us to speak with. Please avoid this establishment -- I am mortified by our experience and hope no one else has to go through this. read more

This place is a gem! Good food, good service, nice ambiance, reasonable prices. This is a Charlottesville quality restaurant but conveniently situated (for us) in nearby Ruckersville. Hubby and I shared calamari which was nicely prepared. He had the gyro and I the shrimp salad with pesto and Caesar dressing. Both of us cleaned out plates! The tasteful and low volume background music was a plus for us as well vs. the thumping unpalatable music we often encounter in restaurants that makes it impossible to hear. There is an inviting patio that will be lovely in warmer weather. We definitely will be back! read more

Great food. . .no matter what you are in the mood for! Wonderful ambiance. But BEST of all is the most charming host. We can't wait to return. read more

I had the opportunity to try a new restaurant in the area. Fiorano's location is near the Holiday Inn and Dunkin' that has housed a couple establishments previously. It has a mediterranean/italian inspired menu. It had only been open for less than a week when we stopped in. The service was very attentive. The hosts made sure we were comfortable at our table. The owner was our server and did a good job explaining the menu and offering suggestions. I settled on the Butter Chicken. The sauce was flavorful but the chicken was a tad over-cooked for my taste. It didn't ruin the dish, just feedback. I was interested to have a beer, but their glycol system had to be restarted so the beer wasn't cold yet. They looked to have about 10 taps with mostly macros but a couple locals thrown in. I'm interested to see if they will offer any happy hour specials. Overall, nice to have another spot in town that isn't Mexican or BBQ. It should get some run. read more

The food and service were so amazing at this restaurant. It is within walking distance of the Holiday Inn hotel, so the location was perfect and convenient! I met the manager, Vinny, and he was so knowledgeable and kind. I had the lamb gyro and was so impressed with how fresh and delicious the ingredients were! read more

Great to have a new restaurant in the area. The food is excellent and the owner is very friendly and accommodating. The ambience is classy, but casual. Please be patient as they are still getting ramped up. GREAT separate bar area! read more

Enjoyed the delicious food, the very kind service and the lovely ambience. I will definitely be back!

Found by mistake. Loved the food and service. Great place for a delicious quiet meal.

The food was absolutely delicious, the service was fantastic and the setting is very nice. Very highly recommended!

Was there during UVA graduation weekend. The salads were meager- greens, with exactly 2 cucumber slices and 2 tomatoes on each plate. The appetizer samosas were still cool in the center from being heated up. The marsala sauce on the pasta was so bad I could not eat it. My fellow diners thought their meals were only ok... read more

I visited today ( Sunday) with a friend. The atmosphere is lovely, the salads were good, but the main dishes we could not eat. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, it was like soup- disgusting. There were noodles, chicken in this massive soupy broth. My friend ordered a shrimp dish, the same situation. We did not eat the main meals. We paid and left. We had to find another restaurant to eat dinner since we were still hungry. Went to Vianna's in Hollymead and the food was amazing , huge portions and much less expensive! read more

Early morning I and my wife were walking outside the Holiday Inn next to Fiorano when the owner came out to greet us. Very friendly and sophisticated man. The restaurant was not open yet so we couldn't try the food and had to return to our city. But based on the owner's personality, the food must either be good or if not, he'd be open to suggestions to improve. We'll drive back 2 hours someday just to eat there. I'll post a real review then. read more

We are excited to welcome Fiorano to the neighborhood. We wandered in on our way to Fabio's and were glad we did. We both got Indian dishes which were great. So we can't yet vouch for the Italian fare. The owner, Vinnie, was over the top friendly and our waitress was a familiar smiling face from Jack's Shop. The lamb curry was great. So we're the samosas and the paneer. The wine list hasn't ramped up much yet so we stuck with cocktails. read more
