We have dined at Fiorelllo several times and have consistently enjoyed both the food and service. This time is was a Christmas dinner at the restaurant, which meant there was a festive atmosphere in addition to the usual excellent fare. Special recommendations for the Dover sole (my wife's favorite) and the veal cutlet marsala. Pricing is on the high side, but portions are large and we brought home enough of what we couldn't finish that we will have an excellent second dinner at our own dining table in the next day or so.
