    Aba delivered a true 5 star experience. From the friendly wait staff attentively refilling pita bread to the delicious shareables, my 8 friends and I loved our meal. The family-style dining brought us closer as we collaborated ordering, tasted multiple dishes, and shared our favorites. I recommend the elderflower Hugo Spritz tower, which was light and refreshing, and the chicken skewers. We had mixed feelings about the Olive Oil ice cream, and did not like the truffle salmon. All in all, I could see us coming back in the future.

    Fioretta was outstanding. I don’t know how my husband and I did not know about this restaurant. Live music felt like a classy supper club with an upscale modern crowd. The food is delicious the service perfect( well trained staff) and the restaurant is pretty. We can’t wait to go back and bring friends. Peter, the general manager is charming and from the time you walk through the front door until you leave you feel special.

    The atmosphere / vibe / ambiance was definitely a 10 out 10. The service was incredible as well. But let’s talk about the sushi itself. While the quality of every fish we had was excellent, I wasn’t too crazy about the fish to rice ratio. IYKYK. I definitely thought the amount / cut of fish could have been a little more generous for the overall price I paid. I also thought it was interesting that they ended the omakase with a nigiri as opposed to a light dessert. But that’s just me. While my friend and I had an absolutely wonderful time, we probably won’t be coming back for a second time.
