The crab cake was fantastic and definitely worth it (despite being as expensive as some of the entrees). Paccheri with seafood was incredible and had a more diverse range of foods than I was expected. The conchiglie with salmon was also good but more cheesy than expected. Overall great atmosphere and experience, would recommend checking out.

Review for Fiori Italian Restaurant Fiori Italian is a true gem in Munster, IN, delivering a dining experience inspired by the rustic charm of Palermo, Sicily. Each dish is served hot and brimming with flavor, masterfully balancing tradition and modern culinary artistry. The service is exceptional, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who make you feel welcomed and cared for. The ambiance, enhanced by modern Art Nouveau design, is both elegant and inviting—perfect for any occasion. The menu, crafted by the internationally renowned Chef Gaetano Ascione, is executed to perfection by the head chef, his talented protégé. Chef Ascione’s career spans four continents and includes notable achievements, such as serving as Chef de Cuisine at Washington D.C.’s Georgetown Club for Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, and as Executive Chef for Nelson Mandela’s inaugural banquet. While the pricing is on the higher side, the exceptional service more than compensates, making the experience feel truly priceless. I enjoyed a classic Sicilian dish, rich with traditional flavors, while my husband opted for a contemporary creation that was equally impressive. Fiori Italian combines authenticity and innovation with ease, making it a must-visit for those seeking exceptional cuisine paired with world-class service.
