    Sunday, March 2, 2025 was our first experience at Fiori. We thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. My wife had the Penne alla Norma, and loved it, said she would get it again. I had the Boneless Branzino Puttanesca, delicious, it was served with a like red pasta sauce, I think it took away from the delicious flavor of the branzino just a bit, but was still very good. Our server, Julie was amazing, she knew everything about the menu, and was there when you needed her. And the cocktails were done perfectly and more than fairly priced. We also met Steve the host I believe, very accommodating as well. I would say definitely give it a try, you won't regret !!

    It was my first time at Fiorno and I was celebrating my birthday. I loved the look of the place, very nice upscale. Our server Jennifer was awesome. She was attentive and friendly. We ordered appetizers and entrees and bread was served to the table. The bread wasn’t that great. It didn’t have any sort of accompaniment (butter, oil or Parmesan) and it could have used something. The calamari was delicious but our entrees were just okay. There was nothing bad about them but there was nothing special about them either. Nothing stood out. I ordered a dessert-the apple pie and it was also just ok. I thought I might get candle or happy birthday message in icing but nope. Just the pie. Overall, nice place with nice food.

    Have been here and sat on both sides of restaurant many times and it is always good. The last two times on the Fiori side both the food and the service have been excellent. Great wine too! We will be back!!!

    It's great to see quality food in NW Indiana. We don't have to run to Chicago all the time. The chef's food is excellent! You can tell he/she cares about the food experience.
