A hidden (to us) gem! Menu choices were good and the kitchen delivered big. Standouts - fiorzucchini ripieni and mussels fra diavolo. While I wasn't too much of a fan of the gnocchi's texture, the sauce looked and smelled just like my nonna's. The barbecue Abruzzese is an excellent choice as an entrée if you're really hungry. Mario, our server, is a credit to the business--bravo. P.S. 86 the Lavazza. read more

Very authentic Italian Restaurant. I would recommend you talk with the server if you don't know what to order since they are very knowledgeable. The food was tasty, even after reheating at home. The restaurant felt very cozy, like mom and pop shop and the services are great. I felt so welcome as soon as I walk into the door. Perfect for an intimate date night or a cozy getup/celebration. read more

Arrived in Boston a couple hours earlier from California so the late dinner wasn't a problem for us since the restaurant opens till 11pm on Saturday. The food was delicious and service was very attentive. Some dishes can be spicy but they can be removed. I would recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

Good was fabulous and service is on point! Veal, chicken dishes were all terrific. Had the homemade pasta and it was amazing. Highly recommend this establishment read more

Very good standard Italian food. Nothing super out of the box but everything was done well. My only complaint was that I prefer a thin chicken cutlet and this was a thick boy but that's my own fault for ordering it. The inside is nice and feels very cozy. Our waitress was super kind and attentive. read more

First time we've had dinner at this place, my husband, our son and myself. Previous reviews helped us a lot in making our choice. Staff and service members were impeccable on all levels: courtesy, promptness and efficiency. The food was excellent: quality and quantity (portions). It's a cosy and warm like atmosphere restaurant. We really enjoyed our dinner we plan to go back again when opportunity presents read more

Had fam in town and they wanted to switch it up and do Italian! We found this spot on yelp that was a halfway point from where we all were and it was a good dining experience! Staff is super nice, super family vibes like ol' Italy! They have 3-4 specials tonight and i can't remember what they all were but we grabbed 2 orders of the seafood spaghetti pasta, gnocchi dish, chicken parm with ziti (was hoping for rigatoni) and seafood risotto. We also ordered the mussels and cestino bread for appetizer. Portions were a perfect size, we all ended up taking a good lunch portion worth home. Definitely on the safer side of seasoning. I opted to add some more salt and cracked pepper to my chicken parm dish. The chicken was moist, not dry like many places turn out to be. The pasta sauce i tried from all the dishes were good, balanced (i just tend to like a little more sodium haha) The risotto was cooked perfectly, not overly mush nor dried out. It had salmon bits in there too along with the mussels clams and scallops. Everyone enjoyed their meals, the mussels sauce was fire! We started dipping our bread in it afterwards! Owners were very nice and even brought little snacks to our little ones! Will definitely be back. This place was vibing when we arrived and had a full house! Service was quick and refills hit fast for water. Would return! read more

Fantastic. The flavors are great and the service fantastic. I had the seafood risotto and it tasted great. The olive oil with the bread is very good here. The olive oil alone would bring me back. Definitely recommend! read more

This was our second visit - and it was again AWESOME. We shared the Cacio e Pepe Romana and the Chicken Parmigiana. Both were 100% delicious and perfect. The portion sizes with good - especially the Chicken Parmigiana, which was big enough for two. The pasta in the Cacio e Pepe Romana was chewy and flavorful, and the sauce was just like we've had in Italy. The service was good, although it was crazy busy and thus a bit slow. There was only one small problem -- the restaurant was COLD. It was understandable; it was very cold outside and we were sitting right by the window. In any case, it was a perfect choice. read more

Came here for a special occasion. Made a reservation two weeks in advance to ensure we were seated right away. (Recommend A Reservation) We started with a special appetizer and bread paired with a bottle of Pinot Noir. Everything was delicious! For mains we had the gnocchi and seafood pasta. Both were wildly delicious and would recommend. Overall this place was packed but it's because it's so delicious. I would recommend this for any special occasion or just a date night. The place is nicely decorated as well! read more

Authentic Italian food. The owner/chef was from ischia and island of Naples so as you can imagine the food was influenced by island living and the fish dishes were prominent in menu. The pasta dish of cache e Pepe were fresh and perfectly prepared. The wait staff from Italy were proud and professional. They knew their stuff and did a great job. The ambiance was clean simple but made you feel you were in Italy not on a busy street in Malden. I enjoyed it and went back twice in one week. My cons are the bread service was small and there was a charge for it. The pro there is the bread was fresh. It had north end pricing in Malden but the quality was tops. read more

FiorItaly Trattoria... has one of the nicest staff I have ever encountered at an Italian restaurant in MA! Not to mention, the food was also quite spectacular! We didn't make a reservation ahead of time but they were still able to seat us after we called to see if a table for 6 would be possible. The staff gave great recommendations on what to order based on what we liked! So, here's what we ordered: -Gnocchi sorrentina -seafood fra diavolo -mussels fra diavolo appetizer -risotto con pesce -chicken parmigiana All of the dishes we ordered were delicious and pretty good portion sizes. The entree that I personally had was the seafood risotto, though I did try a bit of everyone's dish. When we were ordering, I was debating between getting the seafood risotto or the salmon arrosto since I was in the mood for salmon too. To my surprise, I did end up having some salmon bits mixed in my risotto, so win-win haha ! My favorite dish that we ordered would have to be the chicken parmigiana. Exceptional food here, seriously. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their items on their menu. There's even more parking readily available here than you would find on Hanover St in the North End, so that's already a plus. Overall, service & staff was amazing, food was phenomenal, and there's plenty of parking... literally I see no cons! Definitely give FiorItaly Trattoria a try if you haven't already ;) read more

We live in New York and we know good foods. We came to FiorItaly and were blown away by our meals. I had the home made spaghetti and half lobster. The light and spicy sauce hit the right note and the lobster was fresh and delicious. My dinning companion had the grilled salmon and he said it was the best grilled salmon he ever had and that's high compliment from him. Service was great. The gentleman/server is from Italy and we love his Italian accent. He was accommodating and great storyteller. Highly recommended!!! read more

From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out 5 stars all day long! We were kindly greeted and seated and promptly waited on. I had lasagne and my brother had a special tortellini dish. 10/10 for both! You can tase the love and quality in their food for sure. One of the best meals I've had at a restaurant! The place is very clean and cozy too. Try it out! read more

This is our fourth time going here - it's my son's favorite place to eat when we visit him at Tufts and we don't have time to head all the way into the North End. (Although honestly, in my opinion, the food at FiorItaly is better than the food at most North End restaurants.) If you're looking for a place that's very nice/casual but not too fancy, and food that's classic/traditional and not pretentious, FiorItaly is absolutely PERFECT. And, the service is absolutely flawless. There's only a few servers, who are incredibly friendly (and will recognize you on your second visit!), helpful, perfectly attentive, and all-around terrific. Mario might be my favorite server of all time, from any restaurant in any price range. The ambiance is warm, cozy, just noisy enough to feel vibrant, but still very easy to have a conversation. The decor is nice, authentic, and very casual/comfortable. And, the food, while VERY reasonably priced, is absolutely outstanding. Everything we've had has been great, and the Eggplant appetizer is particularly spectacular It's the perfect kind of place for a great, casual Sunday dinner, and a great place to become a regular, because they'll recognize you and treat you like family. Couldn't possibly recommend more highly. read more

Today, my family of seven and I enjoyed a pre-Christmas celebration lunch that was nothing short of amazing! Mario, Christina, and their wonderful staff treated us like family, especially being so patient with my senior mother-in-law. The food was incredible and truly took us back to Italy. From the stuffed zucchini flowers to the meatballs, lasagna, chicken parmesan, ravioli, and of course, the tiramisu and cannolis, every dish was made with fresh, authentic homemade ingredients and lots of love. We'll definitely be back and can't wait to recommend this gem to others! read more

Here for lunchtime, we had the bread which was freshly baked, hot right out of the oven and so crispy and good. We also had the eggplant Parmesan appetizer, which is big enough for someone's actual meal for lunchtime for sure and it was amazing. I've never had one like this. It's got all the ingredients of your traditional eggplant Parmesan, but it's not layered flat but sort of rolled round and I can't even describe it properly except that it was amazing and a must order item. We also got the cacio e Pepe, which had a delightful creamy sauce and we so enjoyed our meal and we also loved our waitress who was just so nice as if we were in her own home as a guest as personal friends Cristina! We had lunch here on a weekday with some friends that I hadn't seen in a long time and so we had a lot of talking to do and it was a quiet afternoon so we were able to stay there for a long time and enjoy ourselves like we would, if we were sitting leisurely at restaurant in Italy. read more

With so many Italian restaurants in the area, I think this is the best option in the Medford/Somerville area. It's a cozy neighborhood restaurant, where lots of locals go. We haven't waited much longer than 20 minutes for a table ever and we've been there many times. That being said, they don't have a waiting area so be aware of that depending on time of year. They've got a smaller menu but we've enjoyed everything we've ordered. The portion size is quite generous as well. We don't leave hungry. I highly recommend these dishes: - FiorItaly Parmigiana (eggplant parm appetizer). It comes two to an order and it's great to share! - Fusilli Al Ragu Irpino - Cacio E Pepe Romana - Lamb Ragu Gnocchi (Special) - Chicken Cacciatore (Special) The only negatives I can think of are that there is no waiting area and the restaurant can be a bit loud because there are lots of tables packed into the a small restaurant. read more

Favorite Italian restaurant in Greater Boston. We bring every guest that visits us here. We have tried the North End multiple times but nothing compares. The staff goes above and beyond. They remember your face. Ambience is intimate. Food is authentic and always so good. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening for an early dinner and the place was super busy already at around 6pm. The space is cozy and has a ton of tables in a smaller space, but still felt rather homey at the same time. The AC was pretty weak though and thus with the hot temperature outside, it felt a bit too warm. We were seated quite quickly and had our orders taken promptly. The menu has a good variety of different pastas, appetizers, and entrees, all decently priced however I found the portion sizes to be a bit on the smaller side. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time as well. We shared a salad and one of the fried seafood platters to start. The taste was average, nothing out of this world, and the bread was mediocre as well. The pasta we got was tasty, however I found my noodles to have a bit of a harder texture than I would've liked. The sausage and meatballs though were tasty and well-made. The tiramisu was a bit disappointing in size and flavor - definitely a bit of a let down to end the meal. Overall, I don't think I would choose to return again in the future, however the food was decent and I don't regret trying the spot out. read more

This was a first try at this place with a close friend and we looked for this suggestion from open table. We started our meal with an appetizer of bruschetta and it was mouth watering delicious. We shared a salad and then we each had an entree that was great as well. The service here was friendly and helpful with whatever we needed. The service staff made sure we had everything we needed and one of owners stopped by our table to chat with us too so we felt welcomed and had a pleasant conversation more than once. The place is small so I would suggest you make a reservation like we had and the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. They do a nice job keeping as much of the cold from coming in the front door as possible during the cooler temps. Would definitely return to share with other friends or family as a place to enjoy a good meal. read more

EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE! Simple yet robust flavors. The pasta had that same spring and perfect texture as when we were in Italy!!

The best I could describe it is a noisy little place serving average Italian food with a very limited menu at average prices and very difficult on street parking . I won't be going back.. on a good note, the service was excellent . read more

what a great find! just googled restaurants in Medford and picked fioritaly. The food was amazing from the stuffed zucchini blossoms, eggplant app, pasta entree and great drink selections. definitely a serendipitous find-we'll be back! service was wonderful too. read more

This a quaint family owned Italian restaurant that is welcoming and makes you feel like family. Whether you have a reservation or are a walk-in, the staff will welcome and accommodate you the best they can. While the menu isn't large, all the food felt fresh. We ordered the bruschetta and really could taste the freshness of the tomatoes that were used. For our entrees we ordered the eggplant, lasagna, and cacio pepe. Of the three the lasagna had the best flavor and we also enjoyed the eggplant. The cacio pepe is good but has more sauce than other cacio pepe we've had in the past. Overall we love coming to this neighborhood restaurant. read more

We had dinner reservation on a Sunday night at 6:30 and by 7:00 we had to leave because we were going to miss our show Reservation mean nothing to this place Prepare for long wait read more

I enjoy early dinners and because of this I rarely make reservations. Around 430 we walked in and was greeted and shown an option Of two tables. We were pleasantly surprised that this place had so much space. It was hard to tell from the outside. We had a view of the open kitchen which was a delight to watch the chef and cooks. I was excited to try their food bc I've passed it driving so many times! There was an option of regular water versus sparkling. We were then told that our waiter would be with us. Our waiter shared the specials of the day which all sounded yummy. We decided to go with the arancini balls (3) came as the serving. We ordered two other items on the menu zhuccini tempura flowers stuffed with ricotta and the broccoli pesto pasta with chicken (entree). Our waiter recommended to order everything all at once and he promised he would space everything out so we didn't feel rushed. It was an odd request but we did. Around 5 this place started to fill up and you could see friends, families and couples fill in to enjoy their Saturday night dinner. Overall we enjoyed the food but there is room for improvement. One of the arancini balls was a tad burnt on the outside and the sauce lacked flavor. The zhuccini flower was good but the ratio of ricotta seemed off. I don't know what to expect with the pasta but it tastes just like broccoli and we got exactly what we ordered. Would I return? Would I recommend to friends? ABSOLUTELY! This place is a solid find when you're in the mood for an Italian food and don't want to go to the city! Btw we had the house white wine which was good as well. As a rating I would give them a solid B+ for this experience. read more

What a delightful, thoughtful Italian trattoria. From a small open kitchen, the chef and team there put together delicious, elevated-but-still-honest pasta and meat dishes. FiorItaly can check a lot of boxes for you. It's reasonable enough price-wise that can you stop by for a meal a week. It's nice enough for a date night. It's friendly enough to go with a small group. And they have something for everyone food-wise. And they take reservations! I look forward to going back many times. read more

Review based on takeout. Overall good option for Italian food, menu selection is somewhat limited but still offers the classics. Bruschetta - they serve 3 varying pieces: ricotta, mushroom and eggplant. The eggplant had the most flavor and the bread had been toasted to perfection. The Lobster Fra Diavolo had an entire lobster! The sauce was delicious and the pasta al dente. Service was friendly. Place clearly popular with the locals so anticipate to wait. read more

Decent authentic Italian food outside of North End. I came here on a Thursday night. It was somewhat busy, but there were tables available that were not too close to other diners. All the staff were wearing masks although there were a few who didn't have their masks covering their noses - that was a bit concerning. Here's what I ordered: Vongole e Crostacei - small portion of clams and shrimp in garlic white wine sauce. Sauce was delicious and paired well with the seafood. They included a lightly grilled piece of bread to soak up all the delicious sauce. Polpette Vesuviane - absolutely delicious meatballs! The meatballs melted in our mouths. The truffle ricotta was light and refreshing and balanced out the heartiness of the meatballs. Gnocchi Sorrentina - gnocchi was soft and fluffy, served in a red sauce with a smear of pesto. I wasn't a fan of the red sauce - tasted plain and one dimensional. The only thing that gave the sauce some dimension was the pesto. Chicken Parmigiana - generous sized piece of chicken stuffed with melted cheese with a side of rigatoni in red sauce. The chicken and pasta were cooked perfectly! I ate some of the chicken with the gnocchi to balance out the plain sauce. read more

pleasant place enjoyed fusilli pasta with chicken parm at a dinner Just one gripe.. charging for bread? This was Italian with 4 guests ..so to keep adding that on seems too much. I'm saving up $ to eat out in Boston but this is just over the top. I can't keep up with this. Sorry. read more

We called for pickup and the order was ready in 15 mins. Staffs were super nice. We ordered the lasagna and Vongole pasta & appetizer. These were all really fresh and delicious!!

This place brought back a lot of good memories I had spending half a summer studying abroad in Northern Italy. read more
