Reviews
Our table was in a nice, secluded area as requested, and we were greeted with a sweet message and flower petals on the table. Milka was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. We both went with the tasting experience after she recommended it to us, and we were not disappointed! The quality of the food was superb and authentic, and the portions were very appropriate for each dish. My favorite part of the meal was the risotto, and my fiancée really enjoyed the octopus. We were also lucky enough to meet Fiori’s wine importer who gave us excellent wine recommendations to accompany our meal.
I finished the evening with a pistachio gelato which was fantastic, and I also was able to taste the chocolate cake which was phenomenal.
The staff were all very attentive and friendly, and the chef/ owner also greeted us and thanked us for visiting his restaurant.
We will definitely be back, and have already recommended Fiori to several of our friends. If you want authentic Italian food in Houston – this is the place to go.
My party and I started off with the Cozze Alla Marinara(the only photo I took because I was with great company). They were amazing! They were from Maine and so the flavor was very neutral, with a slight sweetness, and cooked with a garlic, chili flakes and white wine sauce…ask for bread to finish off the delicious sauce!
Dinner was the Cotoletta Alla Milanese Con Rucola. This is a fried coated veal chop served with a spring mix salad. The chop was a sizeable portion and very tender. One thing to note- the flavors are subtle because the chef wants his guests to experience the quality in the food and presents a more natural approach to his flavors and cooking. Thank you, to our amazing server, Milka for explaining this and always checking in with us, as well as her wine suggestions-we chose Chianti and were not disappointed.
We also ordered the Carbonara guanciale (pasta with cured pork cheek). This was flavor forward with the cured meat and deliciously creamy, paired with the slightly pungent flavor of the Pecorino Romano cheese. Yummm!
Dessert was the tried and true Tiramisu! This is normally not my go-to, but it was very good! The coffee was very rich and the creamy marscapone blended perfectly in this dessert.
We had an amazing meal and I will definitely be returning to enjoy more of this small, but inviting place! Reservations are highly recommended if you have a larger table-quite a few regulars there, so that was a great sign
For dessert, we had Affogato Al Caffè and some raspberry gelato. Perfect end to the meal.
We will definitely be back, especially as the restaurant is walking distance from our place.
Additionally, the restaurant was uncomfortably hot, and we had to wait 35 minutes for our drinks. Though the champagne and wine were at least cold and enjoyable, the long wait was frustrating.
The food was the biggest disappointment. We are big fans of Italian cuisine, but the pasta tasted like something you’d get at the supermarket, and it was vastly overpriced.
Our waitress, who was working her first day, did a nice job, but the restaurant as a whole needs significant improvement, particularly in the quality of the food and the overall service.
I was really excited to try Fiori, but sadly, I won’t be coming back.
