The Fiorella you see today is still the intimate space you know & love! Chef Marc Vetri and his team bring decades of talent & experience to this special space, creating a truly memorable dining experience. Pasta is the main event at Fiorella, with rotating antipasti and desserts rounding out the menu.

A la carte seating is available both in our indoor dining room and outdoor patio, year round.

Indoor seating is predominantly at our chef's counter, with a few high-top tables outlining the space. Table vs. counter reservations are seated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Patio seating is shaded from sun in summer and insulated with heaters in winter. Due to the nature of outdoor reservations, Fiorella may have to cancel outdoor service for severe weather.

Looking to dine with a larger group or want to try a different taste of Fiorella? Join us upstairs for our Pasta Club chef's selection!

From the whole Fiorella Team, thank you for your continual love and support!

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Fiorella is another Italian hit from acclaimed restauranteur and James Beard Award-winning chef Marc Vetri. Located in a historic butcher shop decked with a striking Venetian glass chandelier, the intimate restaurant serves up stellar seasonal pasta that could include cavatelli with ramps and shrimp. Linger with a glass of wine from the all-Italian list or an innovative cocktail like the dirty pasta water martini.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Fiorella Pasta is the place to go. A solid 10/10, no question. The service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and perfectly timed, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. And the pasta? Simply divine. The ricotta gnocchi is a masterpiece—soft, pillowy, and paired with brown buttered onions. The rigatoni was classic perfection, cooked with rich flavors that left us craving more. And the cacio e pepe? Simply heavenly—creamy, peppery, and the ultimate comfort dish. Fiorella truly honors the art of pasta, and every bite reflects their passion and skill. Every bite was a testament to the care and expertise poured into their dishes—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And don’t even get me started on their focaccia—it was exceptional! It’s clear they take pride in delivering authentic, top-tier cuisine. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in exceptional food and stellar service!

The pasta was great and that’s what matters. But we sat right at the bar and next to where the expediter was preparing everything, which left us feeling a bit crowded and uncomfortable. Also the music left a lot to be desired. It was very loud grunge punk rock which was shocking at an Italian pasta restaurant.

I’ll be succinct. The menu is limited (which is fine) but not well rounded and reads not appetizing. I had a “salad” ish dish that I’m still trying to wrap my head around: 2/10. Awful on all levels Caccio e pepe: 7.5/10 Rigatoni w Sausage Ragu: 6.5/10 (flavor not developed) Gnocchi: 10/10. As good as I’ve had in long time Service: 10/10. Brooklyn was excellent. Overall I was disappointed. This chef can do better. When pasta is all that’s on menu….

Inside seating is quite packed and the air is stuffy. Sat outside with heaters. Tables too small and chairs are rickety. Wines we tasted were overpriced (appear to have a 5x markup) and not very good. Had two entrees: Rabbit, which was meh; Rigatoni was excellent. Focaccia bread was too oily and unremarkable. Wouldn’t go out of my way for this restaurant.

Absolutely AMAZING! As someone who bought their sausage from Fiorella’s I am blown away by how much of the original charm they kept. This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint. First visit was outside, tonight we were indoors. So happy I requested indoors. While enjoying dinner I really got a chance to look around and reminisce about old Fiorella Sausage and my visits as a young girl and a married woman. Oh and those monkfish arancini… delish. The rigatoni with Fiorella sausage and the ricotta gnocchi to die for. Everything was wonderful. Can not wait to go back.
