Small location, under staffed the night we went. Waiter was overly chatty, somewhat entertaining, not at all a professional server. Goofy though. Spilled an entire glass of water on our table. Tons of staff in the kitchen, food is homemade and hot. Presentation was a bit off though, food plopped on a plate. They had this pimento cheese spread we ordered with our bread- truly unique and delicious- highlight of the meal. I ordered a rib meal, with polenta, and a slaw. I was curious of this item, then realized it was a real stretch to be on an Italian menu. Ribs had been boiled, the flash grilled, mushy ribs. The polenta was a bone marrow polenta, sounded unique and tasty - in reality, bland and greasy. The slaw was purple cabbage with some vinegar and sugar? Such a bizarre combo on my plate, tasted all my families plates. Food was pretty good, can only muster 3 stars. They advertised as a james beard nominee- not impressed with this designation as each beard recipient I have eaten at has been a true dud read more

The focaccia, sourdough, and chicken Parmesan were all delicious. John gave us great service on the patio, keeping our waters full and working with the picky eater in our group to make their dish just right. The patio was nice besides the volume of the intersection. Would recommend. read more

We did not have a reservation but that was okay, because we wanted to sit on the patio anyway! Service was great, our waitress was very nice & very knowledgeable of the menu! The food was great, we will definitely be returning. read more

The weather was almost perfect...you only needed a light jacket (insert meme from Miss Congeniality). I'm allergic to seafood and don't eat meat, so chicken Alfredo it was! The chicken was nice and crispy and cooked well. The waiter was kind and helpful and was able to answer any questions we had. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves very much! read more

We were told everything is made in-house, including the pasta--and it shows. Some of the best pasta I've ever had! My lasagna involtini was top-notch: a seared pasta spiral filled with cheese, paired perfectly with the bolognese. My wife ordered the chicken Parmesan, and honestly, I wish I had too--it was amazing. We'll definitely be coming back, and next time I've got my eye on the shrimp scampi. read more

Food was very average, other than bread. Service average, and ambiance - eh. Don't know how they got the stars and recognition.

I am shocked that my friends like it. I have tried it several times and each time the food was C- at best in my opinion.

Myself and a friend met here for dinner when they reopened at 4:30p. Customer service was really good. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food was really good. For an appetizer we had the potato poppers, which is essentially fried pasta served with herb ranch. I give it an 8/10. I had chicken parm. The sauce was delicious, the chicken had a nice crunch and it was a decently sized piece of chicken and a nice amount of sauce and noodles. 8/10. My friend had the vegan mushroom spaghetti. She enjoyed her dish. The Emerald Island drink was really good! When it was time to get our checks and box our food up, I asked for a small cup to put some of the leftover herb ranch I had left in it. The waiter then asked if I wanted two cups of sauce. I initially told him I just need a little cup to put the sauce I already had in. Then I just agreed to the extra sauce that was offered. It wasn't until he brought the checks out that he mentioned it was an extra cost. $1 for the herb ranch and $2 for the red sauce. Our checks were already on the table at this point. He then mentioned that he would need to add the cost of the sauce on. A simple "hey just to let you know it's going to be extra for the sauce, do you still want it?," would have been nice. After he is paid. He then brings out a small EMPTY cup which is what I asked for in the first place! I would have said no to him to giving me a fresh new cup of sauce had I know he was going to bring an empty cup. Smh. Overall rating is a 7/10. However, I'd go back and try another dish. EDIT: Thank you to the owner! I will come back. read more

What a great experience! I ordered the chicken bowl, it is like mashed potato stuffed ravioli with fried chicken chunks in a tangy sauce with corn and dill. It's spicy and so so good!! The staff was working hard and doing amazing. Will definitely come back to try the chicken parm which looks amazing too!! read more

Last week it was time to give this place a try. I've seen a lot of information, so my daughter and I gave it go on a Friday night. Our server was very nice and our meal was very good. So good, we decided to take my mother there for Sunday brunch. All three of us enjoyed the meal and have found a new favorite place. Way to go guys, keep it up read more

I do not care for pasta. So asked for an alternative side. Your waiter had 0 suggestions. I said well you are serving sweet potatoes and squash with other things so I would like chicken parm with sweet potatoes as a side. It came out with a pile of sweet potatoes in the Chicken piled on top of it. Then your waiter dumped hot cheese and sauce all over the top. Making the most disgusting looking plate you can imagine. The hostess separated it and brought me a new bowl with sweet potato. But then I was eating alone as my husband ate his while it was hot and fresh. read more

FioRito Ristorante - Destroyed meal. - Tuscan Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

Food: 5/5 The food was wonderful. The mushroom onion dish and the appetizer with three spreads were both delicious. The spaghetti and meatballs were "the best I've ever had." according to my friend who dined with me. Is it the best Italian food I have ever eaten, no, but it is certainly the best in Wichita. Service: 4/5 The waiter was attentive and knowledgeable but my drink and refills took a markedly long time to make it to our table. We had to ask for our beverages and check in on refills several times before they actually arrived. Ambiance: 3/5 It has a cool location but the decorations don't take full advantage of the layout and they are also trying for cottage core or provincial but not quite meeting either. The best part of the ambiance was the music. It was a great volume but the lack of good acoustics made it hard to hear each other. They should add more sound baffles on the ceiling either that or something eclectic like books, they absorb sound well. read more

The food and service were amazing!! We were visiting from Seattle...went back 3 days in a row. They have the most delicious (and rather healthy) vegan options! We enjoyed the Rigatoni Alla Vodka, the Fettuccine & Pistachio Pesto, and the Eggplant "Parmesan" and the Harvest Hash for brunch. They also brought the most delicious lemon dessert for us. So very tasty. The seasoning and mixture of flavors was first rate! The Brussels sprouts appetizer is delectable. The bartender makes amazing drinks! It is a small and cozy restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. We tried both and were very comfortable. I can think of no recommendations for improvement. Some of the best vegan choices we have had anywhere in the country. read more

Interesting brunch menu. Cinnamon focaccia bread was magical. Hangover fried rice with sunny side egg was great. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the house cured bacon on the basic breakfast. Difficult to chew and very, very salty. My thought was they must have a cardiologist helping cure the bacon. read more

First - Group of 9. Nobody can make a decision these days; so we did! Fio Rito it was. Place was packed, but the reservation helped greatly. First the bread appetizer and different types of toppings. Not bad, but I felt the menu needed more to choose from for 'starters'. Followed by their version of an Old Fashion - my new favorite drink since 2021. Theirs were called "Smoky Bandit" of something like that with hints of black walnut infused something, but it had bullet and the cherry so I thought I'd survive. After two, I was just fine! Bar service was pretty good, with lots to choose from. I had the Chicken Parmesan, something I seldom order, the wife had Lasagna, a friend had Shrimp Scampi. These items are staples at an Italian restaurant, so we thought it would be as good as Carnitas at a Mexican joint, if they know what they're doing. All of them were exceptional, unique in presentation and preparation. The only complaint - it was so loud we were all yelling our communications. Someday buy some sound baffle ceiling mounts. It will help greatly. It honestly kind of took away from the meal and atmosphere. In general, servers and staff were well versed on how to do it and performed very well. We hope to be back again soon! Proud of the local Rickard brothers for putting together an awesome dining spot. Competition is fierce in Wichita, but they seem to have it covered well. Give this place a try Yelpers and try something besides Olive Garden for a real change. read more

The food was overpriced. I ordered the chicken Alfredo thinking you can't possibly mess this up. The pasta was just okay and there was like ten skittle sized pieces of chicken in the pasta, could've made that at home. The only thing I really enjoyed was the sourdough bread with the sweet spicy sauce. Service was okay, but the hostess was a bit snippy about making reservations?? But there was no one in the restaurant at the time, like at all and I was seated in the corner by the door-horrible table placement. Will not be back. read more

Service - impeccable. The bread with ricotta and jam was out of this world. We will absolutely be back.

We reserved a spot for the Valentine's Day tasting menu, and once again, FioRito did not disappoint. It remains one of our favorite spots in all of Wichita. As my wife is pregnant, we truly appreciated the thoughtful effort they put into crafting delicious mocktails. The lamb meatballs and butter lettuce salad were a fantastic way to begin the meal. My strip loin was incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, and paired wonderfully with a mushroom ravioli and a smooth parsnip-potato puree. My wife opted for the prawn angel hair pasta and was absolutely delighted by the sundried tomato butter that enriched every bite. For dessert, we indulged in another treat that exceeded our expectations. We will always return to FioRito--it's a guaranteed winner every time. The service was excellent, too; Jon was a fantastic server--attentive and prompt. read more

Went to their Brunch for the first time on Saturday! I ordered the basic breakfast, but there was NOTHING basic about those eggs! OMG they were sooo fluffy and delicious! The bacon was cooked crispy just like I like it and the apple butter for the toast was a 'chefs kiss'!!!! read more

I love good food. I'm so happy I finally got to try this place on Tuesday night. This is a true gem of Kansas! It's nice on the inside, but casual enough to be comfortable. The menu we had is different than those posted, so I'm sorry I didn't take a shot of it, but we had the lamb rigatoni and the Calabrian fried chicken bowl. (We had two cocktails off the happy hour menu, the lavender ginger drink was really good). My girlfriend enjoyed the chicken dish better while I liked the lamb dish better, but having tasted both let me say they were each EXCELLENT. Everything is made in house, the pasta is perfect, and the flavors were fantastic! After the first two bites I literally said out loud "what am I eating? How is this so good?" Aside from the food being the best I've had in the entire Wichita area EVER, the service from Donna was amazing(she did not steer us wrong!), as were the drinks (especially the milk punch!!!) and service from Aubrey! 10/5 Need to try everything read more

We went for lunch and everything was perfect. The food was excellent. I enjoyed the braised pork sandwich with pepper maple. My mother and grandmother enjoyed the Capri salad and the Parmesan chicken bowl. For dessert we had the spice mango cake. Service all around was phenomenal. Both the hostess and the waiter were top notch! Very friendly and knowledgeable. It's a bit small but feels nice and cozy, the decor is cute. They also have tons of outdoor seating. 20/10 would recommend read more

There were several of us that made a reservation for 4:30 pm. We got there in time and it was a small but very quaint restaurant. It was small, but cozy. Some of the staff greeted us when we went in. However after that, the staff was kind of impersonal/distant. They never asked any of us if we had ever been there before. None of us had and it was an opportunity for them to recommend something to us. We knew they were a Beard James contender, but other than that, the service was just ok. The food is not cheap either. But we were there to celebrate a birthday. We had heard about it from just a few people and wanted to go. The food came and it was delicious. I had the lasagna and it was absolutely delicious...the way it was created was amazing. We had some sides, brussel sprouts and french fried...absolutely delicious! It was a new style of Italian food but done in a very unique way. So usually with Italian food, in my experience, you have bread served. However, at FioRito, you have to purchase it. The bread was good and came with a creamy butter. It was not bread rolls but rather slicd bread. I had wine, but no recommendations, just was handed the wine list. I had the house Red and it was ok. I think getting a James Beard should also require excellent service, recommendations and maybe a sincere greeting and welcoming to the new restaurant. They are a new restaurant and not really located in a swanky area, but once inside, it was pretty nice. think the staff needs to be more friendly and helpful. If you want a big tip, then represent your restaurant in a positive way. Like I said, the food was delicious.... read more

Pricey for the amount of food. Website states that happy hour runs from 4:30-6 but in restaurant menu states 4:30-5:30. We arrive at 5:25 and by the time the server got to us and we explained that the website stated 4:30-6, he said, well it's 4:30-5:30 and our website takes a while to update. Was not willing to honor happy hour prices. Food was good but portions compared to price made it not worth the $. Spent $100 between the two of us with just one drink & one app. Might have felt better about it if bread was provided but you had to pay for that as well, unlike most Italian restaurants in town. read more

For our girls trip we decided to treat ourselves to a beautiful night out, while having to wait a while after our reservation it was extremely made up for by the presence of our server Donna. She was the absolute best part about our evening. The chef had also come out and apologized for any inconveniences. The food was absolutely delicious, drinks were spectacular and Donna, the sweetest soul we've stumbled upon on our trip! We will definitely be back! read more

We finally had the chance to try this place, we live out East so it took us a while lol.... Establishment is quaint and clean. Very slow lunch as there was only 3 tables...so disappointed .. first time I have eaten in a pasta centered restaurant and served overcooked pasta..Both my raditorre and my wife's spaghetti was way over...Salad had promise but dressing was so heavy handed it was overbearing, The chicken parm was awful, overcooked pasta with what tasted like Popeyes chicken nuggets, in a unconstructed sauce that lacked depth and balance, tasted more like soup. Oh Well...... read more

Have been to Fio Rito four times and it is always outstanding. Live in Dallas but have friends in Wichita and we always go to fio when we visit. The pasta is my favorite but everything on the menu is outstanding. We had brunch this past weekend and it was marvelous. The carbonara was divine! Our group split the hangover cure fried rice and it was superb. The prices are very reasonable and the service is excellent . 10/10 and will always visit when we are in town. It's the kind of place that I would be a regular at if I lived here- that is for sure! read more

We decided to try this place because it had tons of Gluten Free and Vegetarian options. The place is on a busy intersection of Douglas and Hillside, so I can imagine the outdoor seating is loud. We were inside of an old remodeled gas station, and it doesn't have that feeling of elevated dining. Tables are small, chairs are uncomfortable. Our server was meh and didn't seem like she wanted to be there. I asked several questions about GF/Vegan/etc and the responses didn't instill that confidence you want if you have food allergies. After those negatives, it is still a place I would go back to, because the food was good, and had lots of GF friendly options, and nobody had any gluten reaction. As we got there before 6pm, we had happy hour drinks and app. The house red wine (blend) was quite good, no idea what it was. The Falafel and Hummus were amazing. For mains we both got a gluten free pasta with GF penne. It says their pasta is made in house, but I'm not sure the GF is. It seemed like a standard Barilla Penne, which is fine. The pastas had nice flavors, but not sure I would get either of them next time as there are other dishes we would like to try. Heck, next time we might just do all the small plates since there were 3 or 4 that had our attention, and the Falafels were a meal in themselves. read more

Unfortunately my second visit will be my last more than likely. I made a reservation asking for a specific table, which I called a few hours before to confirm, but upon arrival that table was taken and we were seated at a different one. Once that table became available we asked to move to it and it was an awkward, long winded yes that made us feel like we weren't welcome. That feeling remained throughout the meal. We ordered the bread and asked for focaccia instead of sourdough. When it arrived it was sourdough and I had to wait for the waitress to return to be told they ran out of focaccia two tables before us and someone else (the guy with the awkward yes to moving tables) was supposed to tell us. He didn't. She said she would remove the bread from the ticket and didn't, at the end of the meal we had to wait for her to return again to have the bread removed. I wanted the holiday tasting meal but my guest did not. We were told the whole table had to order the tasting menu and that was a problem. The only reason was so that the person who didn't order it didn't have to wait for the other to finish? We assured them that did not matter to us. The tasting menu was a disappointment. The cheese soup was super flavorful but did not come with the focaccia as mentioned on the menu. The lamb ragu with gnocchi was inedible, it was SO salty and almost tasted old. The biggest disappointment was the third course, the aged steak and potatoe galettes. I opted to add the optional truffle, $15 extra, where it is shaved on the dish table side by the chef. The dish sat in front of me getting cold for 10 minutes as the waitress kept saying the chef would be out. In the end, the chef never came and the waitress added the truffle. Again remained the feeling of not being wanted there. The desert was okay but there were chunks of something in the cream that were an unpleasant texture and we couldn't get a straight answer as to what the chunks were. Overall, I was so disappointed and kind of hurt after this visit. I was SO excited to try truffle for the first time and to be honest the sauce was so powerful I'm not sure the truffle even added anything to the dish. I don't plan on going back to a place that successfully made me feel unwanted and embarrassed as if I was less than them. read more

Meatballs are salty and the sauce is runny with no taste of tomatoes. I think the chain like old spaghetti factory had sauce more authentic to what you would find in Italy. My other pet peeve is they had a large selection of shared dishes that they do not offer as singles and all the dishes that offered fish was on the shared dishes. I not a fan my wife is but she is not a big eater. I will not be back. read more
