After hearing about Il Fiore years ago, we finally were in area and yes! So excited to try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]5 minutes after sitting... WTH!!! Could not hear myself think, it was a literal screaming match around us!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bread is on the table we felt bad and rude to leave. Difficult to hear the specials that server was offering.. not to mention rushed! Server was very specific on, apps and dinner need to be ordered at same time!... ok then! Ordered the short rib over pasta, unfortunately short rib was tough not tender but pasta was enjoyable. What could have been a wonderful and enjoyable dinner was NOT. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Needless to say we could hear the extremely loud tables fighting each other to get heard all the way out the door as we left.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sooo if you'd like to visit make sure to bring ear plugs and someone you really don't want to carry a convo with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Il Fiore Ristorante - Italian Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

We reserved a table at Il Fiore for a graduation celebration for a party of 7. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was nice but they stuck us at a table that was literally right next to the entrance where people were streaming in and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was also 100F outside, so the hot air kept wafting in every time someone came to the door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was decent, but nothing to write home about. That's alright because it was not overpriced, so it doesn't need to be Michelin star. As usual these days, the spotlight was on the service. The place is BYOB and they have a corking service. We brought a red wine and a white wine. The white wine was not chilled and they served it warm. I asked for an ice bucket and they brought it. Why did I have to ask? The server was short and inattentive, very transactional. I ordered a dish called Chicken Limon. It came with mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes. I asked if I could substitute the potatoes with pasta because I'm allergic to potatoes. The server said they couldn't do that without an additional charge, but could do double mixed vegetables. I agreed. My dish came out and low and behold there's potatoes on the plate. I got the servers attention and explained to him again that I am allergic to potatoes. He was unphased, unapologetic, and uninterested. What was supposed to otherwise be a festive occasion turned into an annoying experience that was more about the service than the celebration. It's amazing how much influence - positive or negative - a server can have over your dining experience. I am unphased, unapologetic, and uninterested in going back. read more

Apps of calamari and mushroom gratin were excellent. Entrees were just ok. Mushroom risotto with shrimp is described as "Arborio rice, shrimp, asparagus, in a wild porcini mushroom sauce" What came out was a molded risotto with 4 - 21/25 count shrimp that were over grilled/over cooked. The rice while cooked properly was bland lacking correct seasoning. The stuffed pork chop special was to be stuffed with prosciutto and a provolone or mozz cheese. No prosciutto inside and the pork chop which was a rib about an inch thick sliced horizontally for stuffing was over cooked and tough. Sauce was excellent however. Also at 39.00, the price way over priced for an 8 oz rib pork chop, that wasnt prepared properly to boot. Should have been 25/30 dollars for this type of dish - did not deserve a "special price". No one came by after entrees were placed to ask how the entrees were. TBH honest I should have sent my dish back as it was barely edible due toughness - should have been cooked medium with pink inside. Desserts were excellent cappuccino great as well. Disappointed in the entrees. Have been coming here for years for dinner and special occasions. read more

We made a reservation online (keep in mind you get no confirmation and no one will remind you that you have a reservation, so take a note of that) and arrived a few minutes early. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated within five minutes of arrival at a very tight corner table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you want privacy, this is not the restaurant for you lol. People are on top of people and it's a bit uncomfortable in my humble opinion[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We started out with the broccolini, sausage with white beans and it was delicious. We also shared a Caesar salad, which was quite small for the price. We ordered the veal and sadly it wasn't what we expected as we wanted veal Parmesan and they did not have that on the menu. The veal we got was not breaded, but it was our fault for not reading the menu properly. Sadly, it didn't agree with us and we ate about half of it. I had a cannoli for dessert and that was outstanding. My husband ordered two double espressos and sadly, they charged him four times for two double espressos. In other words, most places charge you a smaller fee if you get a double, well they don't here. He was charged for four singles, so we won't make that mistake again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was fine, but for all the fuss I have heard about it, we were not as impressed as others have been.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We went to Il Fiore a few days ago and had a wonderful experience. Every server and host were extremely friendly and made sure we enjoyed each dish. The food came out extremely quickly and was all delicious! We started with their special Burrata salad which had pineapple and strawberries. The Burrata melted in your mouth and the fruit was very fresh. I had the linguine pescatore for my entree and all of the seafood was very tasty and enjoyable. The white wine sauce was perfect as well! For dessert, I had the tiramisu. The tiramisu was amazing and had just enough coffee flavor. We really enjoyed Il Fiore and can't wait to be back again soon! read more

We booked a table for four at 6:30 PM. When we arrived, we saw many people waiting outside. The hostess told us to "wait for 2 minutes." We checked on the status several times, and each time we were told it would be ready very soon. After waiting for an hour, we were still outside with no updates or clear expectations. It would have been more professional to say, "Sorry, we're overbooked, and the current wait time is about an hour." That way, we could have decided whether to wait or go elsewhere. I'm very disappointed with this kind of service--especially since it was a graduation celebration for my son. In the end, we went to another restaurant. read more

After my original visit 8 years ago and 3rd overall. I must say things have improved quite a bit. Somewhat of a small quaint 2-dining room restaurant with excellent professional and friendly service. Love the loud but cozy ambiance that allowed you to sit next to other tables and not even hear their conversation or they ours. Extensive menu with just enough of a vary to make you say "oh that look delicious and so does that and...." Food is plentiful and nicely appealing to the eye. Tasty and served quickly which allows you to enjoy at your own pace. No rush attitude from the servers and you can even BYO. Parking is a bit of a challenge so just remember to look for the Wawa, there is a public lot next to it that always has available spaces. Enjoy! read more

Despite having made a reservation well in advance of Collingswood's restaurant week, we were seated 45 minutes past our reserved time, which immediately set a negative tone for the evening. We also dined here about a year ago and experienced a similar wait time. There was almost no communication from the staff while we waited -- no explanation, no realistic updates, and no acknowledgment that the delay was a problem. A reservation should mean something, and here it clearly does not. Once we were finally seated, the dishes were genuinely good -- well-cooked, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Unfortunately, good food does not compensate for such poor organization and utter lack of respect for customers' time. Until reservation management and communication improve, it's hard to recommend this place. read more

Everything to love about this lunchtime dining experience! Sweet ambience with murals of Venice, I think, and silk draperies under crystal chandeliers. Very attentive waitstaff! And the food was the best! Started with fresh, unbreaded calamari in a chopped tomato, olive, onion and capers sauce that was perfection! Next the freshest, most succulent grouper I've had since leaving the Gulf Coast, it was exquisite! I could take points off for the soggy francese coating or the watery lemon caper sauce but only for texture because the taste was 100% 'chef's kiss' Dessert was the darkest chocolate cake I've ever seen and the best I've ever had! Accompanied by a perfect cappuccino, it was an amazing finish to a very satisfying meal! I highly recommend! read more

Il Fiore Ristorante - Italian Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

TLDR: solid dinner, but there's better options in Collingswood. My group was 15 minutes late to our reservation on a Friday night but we were still seated promptly which was very appreciated. FYI- the address on their OpenTable profile is incorrect. Go to the address on Google Maps. The service the entire evening was prompt and friendly. We order the pasta special (shrimp and lobster w a garlic white wine sauce), the orecchiette, and the lobster ravioli. The portions were perfectly sized (no leftovers) and we all enjoyed our meals. With that being said, there are so many good Italian restaurants in Collingswood and this simply didn't stand out IMO. I'd go back if someone really wanted to, but it's not my first choice for an Italian meal in the area. read more

Had a delicious impromptu dinner here Tuesday night with some very good friends. I was able to make reservation 30 min prior to arrival. My friends got there first and early. I had trouble finding parking and fighting with parkmobile app, but I digress. Even being 15-20 min early they were seated right away. Usually one might wonder why a restaurant had an open table even on a Tuesday. It could indicate issues. Im glad to say it was the total opposite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is quaint reminds me of tv mafia italian places complete with murals on the walls and white table cloths.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was 10/10 our waiter patiently explained the specials in a way that made me want to try them all, even the ones I was allergic to. The black pasta with shrimp would have killed me but it sounded and looked delicious. My friend ordered it and she loved it. I had the Involltini de Pollo. Fantastic! We ordered the fried squash flowers which was a popular appetizer because we got the last one. It was battered fried and stuffed with mozzarella cheese. Very tasty, the batter was light and crispy. The best part was dessert Dark side of the moon chocolate cake. It was rich and decadent the three of us shared a slice. My greedy lil heart had the chocolate gelato as well. I left full and happy. Side note I accidentally left my keys on the chair next to me and our waiter caught up with us with them. I could have hugged him because it would have been a long walk to my car and back. I definitely will be back. read more

Food was good here but the service was bizarre. The waiters run around in such a frenzy it creates an uncomfortable environment. I barely had my coat off about to sit down when the waitress was inches away from me trying to grab my bottle of wine to pour a glass. It started with that and continued with crazy rushed behavior on her part throughout the meal. It's clear they want you in and out as quickly as possible to move onto the next customers. I won't be returning unless I want to have heartburn from shoveling my food and drink down at light speed to accommodate the chaos of this restaurant. read more

This place never disappoints! Absolutely superior food & service! I'm so glad my family decided to celebrate Easter here. I was nervous about the preset 4 course menu but it was beyond amazing. It was $55 per person. They had several options despite the preset menu. Each course was delicious. Service was friendly & they seemed fully staffed & everyone was working hard. That place was a well oiled machine despite how crowded it was. My mom & brother ordered different options off the menu so we got to try & sample each others different courses. I had the grilled calamari, Cesar salad, lamb chops, & tiramisu & cappuccino. I was beyond satisfied. The portions were huge & cooked perfectly. We can't wait to come back! read more

We had a great experience here! Very impressed with the food and the service was great as well. We started with the mussels in red sauce, portion was big! We also had the Fettuccini al Salmone, HIGHLY recommend! It was our favorite dish of the night. The vodka sauce was flavorful and there were large chunks of salmon. (Wish we took a pic but we devoured it too quickly) For dinner I had the salmon entree and my fiance had the chicken Marsala. Again both very good. We finished off with tiramisu! Can't wait to go back! read more

I adore it here! It is easily my husbands and my favorite Italian in town This place is quaint and small. You sit close to people. They now bring little lights to each table to brighten it up a bit which is a cute touch. I get the penne con piselli every time I go: similar to a vodka sauce with pancetta and peas. My husband typically gets the farfalle aurora: a lighter tomato based pink sauce with shrimp. The food has always been perfection. You get bread and olive oil and I have sometimes gotten one of the special salads. The waitstaff is humongous: you'll probably interact with at least four people, so you're never really waiting. We were in and out in 30 minutes. read more

Perfection! My husband and I are foodies. From the freshly topped calamari starter, to the robust main pork chop center of thick mozzarella with Al dente vegetables and surrounded by delectable marsala and ending with lemon cake with perfect amounts of cake and cream. Staff was attentive and perfectly timed, swift and warm. My family had other favorites at the table including the lobster bisque soup and the large portion of shrimp scampi ending with the pistachio gelato which was heaven. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chairs had cushions that were supportive, decor was elegantly decorated with an old world feel, space was roomy for a romantic feel and the energy comforting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will be returning if we can get in. read more

Have been going to this place for years and amazing how consistent they stay. Reservations are good to have, although you'll still probably wait a half hour or so on a weekend night. They do give you wine glasses while you wait if you ask. Byob. We started with the lobster ravioli as an app size. I got my go to- veal il fiore. The chunks of crab are still just as big. My wife got the lobster bucatini special. Everything was delicious as usual. Definitely worth a visit if you haven't been! read more

We arrived a bit early while the staff was still setting up, and they couldn't have been more welcoming -- even offering us hot coffee on a cold, rainy day. The food was absolutely excellent; every single guest left satisfied. Service was truly second to none. The owner worked closely with my sister-in-law to plan the event and was as accommodating as anyone could hope for. Having worked in the industry booking parties myself, I can honestly say he went above and beyond. A standout experience from start to finish. read more

Il Fiore Ristorante - Steaks - Italian Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

I feel like I am very confused to all the amazing reviews of this establishment. When I recently visited here, it was so incredibly packed you had to yell to hear the diners at your table. The tables were so close that you felt like you were communally dining and could hear every other table's conversation. The bread came out warm but so hard that it did not taste like it was freshly out of the oven. Next we moved on to the special salad that just looked like random items thrown together and didn't make any sense (pineapples in a salad?). We then moved on to the fettuccini al salmon, which was covered in a very strange, displeasing sauce. We also tried a chicken dish which did not take fresh. I just feel like there's much better restaurants in the neighborhood and will not be returning. read more

We had a delightful meal at this lovely Italian restaurant. The service was impeccable, attentive and helpful. And, the food was delicious!

We went to Il Fiore on a Wednesday night around 7:30pm without a reservation. We had no problem getting seated. The ambience is classic with white tablecloths but not too fancy. They brought us over bread with an oil dipping sauce which was very good and wine glasses since it is byob. We had 2 appetizers- grilled calamari and burrata caprese. The grilled calamari was really interesting because I had never had it not fried before. It was very tender and flavorful. I can't quite remember the burrata but think it may have been a small portion size. For dinner, I had the penne with pancetta in a pink vodka sauce and it was to die for! It was full of tons of pancetta in a creamy rich sauce and large enough to have leftovers to take home. My boyfriend got the spinach gnocchi which he loved. The gnocchi was light and airy and very flavorful, but perhaps a bit smaller than the penne vodka. We also had desserts-- a vanilla ice cream with a hard chocolate shell, a cannoli, and the espresso gelato. These were all good! We've had better cannoli before, but it was still really good. We will return! read more

Met up with a friend here for dinner. Loved this restaurant so much! The service was phenomenal. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive. Someone always came by to refill our water. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh. I got a Caesar salad which was yummy and had the right coating of dressing. For my entree I ordered the spaghetti tartufo which I adored so much. The truffle oil really made the meal come together and it was very flavorful. I also got their homemade tiramisu. It was so moist and just fantastic and a great way to end the meal. The ambiance was very cute and quaint. It had beautiful paintings of Italian landscape all over the walls. I loved the small cozy feel; indeed a charming Italian restaurant that fits perfectly in Collingswood. This is definitely what I expect in an Italian restaurant and Il Fiore exceeded my expectations! read more
