Decent Mediterranean food. We visited Fiorano early on a Sunday evening, and it was mostly empty. We sat in a booth, and the light fixtures were glaring, but we were able to cover the lights with a menu to obscure the light. Other than that, the restaurant is nicely furnished with fresh flowers and bottles of wine and sparkling water on every table. I tried a glass of Pinot Noir, the bruschetta, and the gnocchi. After our wine was served, we were served a simple but tasty salad with a balsamic dressing. The bruschetta was served warm with melted cheese over top and was quite good. The gnocchi was okay. The sauce was not particularly interesting, and the bread was of average quality. Overall, I think Fiorano is a reasonable choice for Mediterranean food along 29. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. As service was great. We had a beautiful salad that was delicious, and then we had some samosas which were so sweet and spicy at the same time. Then I had the lamb curry, which was absolutely delicious. The lamb was absolutely perfect. Not too overdone and not too rare. Just the right for lamb. My fiancé had a blue cheese hamburger and he absolutely loved it. He didn't finish the whole thing cause he was so we got two meals out of it. Absolutely delicious and completely suave place So elegant! read more

One word... EXCEPTIONAL! I've never been so excited to leave a review. Vinny, the owner, sets the bar for service, hospitality, and overall quality. He is attentive, generous, and ensures everyone's needs are met above expectation. He has a sense of humor as well that makes you forget he's the owner and want him to join you for dinner. Now the food... absolutely delicious! The mashed potatoes, butter chicken, curry, limoncello cake, spanish coffee, etc etc etc! Everything was so delicious, I didn't take any pictures, I lived in the experience! The staff were amazing as well. Always on it with refills, clearing the table, ensuring you have the best time. This is now a for sure stop when we visit the area. Add Vinny and the Fiorano team to your dining list! read more

Enjoyable experience. Came on a Wed night (day before Thanksgiving) around 6PM and were easily seated. They clearly spend a lot of effort/resources creating an inviting and upscale environment. "A" for effort there. They had a pretty extensive drink menu and had a local IPA which is good in my book. We started with the Bruschetta ($12) and my bride really like it. She ordered the Salmon Salad ($19) and really enjoyed it. I went with the Shrimp Salad ($18) and I was really pleased with the fresh ingredients. Service was prompt and friendly. Great dining option if you are in the area. read more

My partner and I went to Fiorano's to celebrate our anniversary, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The ambience was warm, romantic, and inviting--just the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the moment. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the gnocchi, which was light, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, while my partner ordered the butter chicken--comforting, rich, and full of flavor. Every bite felt like it was made with care. What truly made the evening special was the owner, Vinny. He greeted us personally, made sure everything was perfect, and treated us like old friends. You can tell he puts his heart into this place, and it really shows in the service and atmosphere. After dinner, we checked out the bar attached to the restaurant, which had an open mic and live music--such a fun and unexpected bonus! It's the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy a drink, and soak in the energy of the night. Vinny, you're awesome--thank you for making our anniversary one to remember! We can't wait to come back again soon. read more

We really loved the whole experience here! The owner Vinny was a pleasure to meet and very proud of his business and wanted to be sure we liked our food- The food! Was wonderful! We literally loved every bite of food! We are looking forward to going back and bringing friends! read more

This was a great spot -- the owner was so friendly, and the menu was fun. I love the balance of Indian and Italian. The sauces in the food were great, and the Valentine's decor was well thought out. read more

Everything we could've asked for. We had prompt and friendly service. The wine was served in a manner befitting the decor, with a tip toward service and quality. Both our buttered chicken and Greek gyro were top notch. The only downside was the portions were so generous, we had no room for dessert. We will be returning for future fancy date night dinners! read more

Wonderful great food and the owner is always so kind and attends to every need. The atmosphere is so nice cozy very romantic .

Stopped here on the way back home. Wow did not expect to get such amazing food. The service was excellent and staff were friendly. Definitely a nice place for lunch of dinner. I loved how the restaurant puts its own little spin on classic dishes. Too bad we don't live in the area otherwise we would be frequent guests. If you happen to be in the area this is a spot to check out. read more

Fiorano - SALMON GORGONZOLA - Mediterranean Near Me - Barboursville, Virginia

I came here on a Sunday around 745pm. I ordered a glass or noir and the ribeye. The service was slow. The manager (or maybe owner) was attending me. I had empty glasses for 30 minutes before being seen. The ribeye came with a salad, broccolini, and mashed potatoes. Nothing was seasoned. Not even salt was used. Bland is an understatement. While the decor and music make for an enjoying ambience, I won't be coming back for the food or service. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place for our dinner date, stopping by from VA Beach to our hotel. My favorite part of the meal was my appetizer! I love their Caprese with fresh mozzarella cheese, balsamic and complement it with smoked apple jam makes it perfect! The steak was marinated and melts in your mouth! The service was so awesome, Winnie makes sure that we got everything we need in timely manner!. Over all we love our experience and definitely want to come back here!. read more

What a surprise! Just passing through a dropped in for something above fast food. Were we ever delighted! The service was five star. The ambiance was so very pleasant. It would be hard to think of a better date night setting. And to top all that the food was spectacular. Yes, by all means we recommend enjoying a peaceful, relaxing fine food experience at Fiorano's! read more

We have been here several times and while I thought it was great week one, it has only gotten better. Tonight we ordered fried zucchini and mozzarella sticks as appetizers and while they are delicious, they are pizza roll hot...melt your face off...huffing air through your teeth hot. For the main course, I ordered the ribeye and my wife ordered the butter chicken. Even the little side salad was delicious. The balsamic glaze was a great touch. The only negative is that I do not see any local wine on the menu. With Barboursville and Horton vineyards just down the road, that would be an easy fix. read more

I feel like I ate at a different restaurant than everyone else leaving reviews, but gosh the food was so bad. This is a mom-and-pop type of place, and the service and ambiance were wonderful as others have mentioned, so we'll keep the review at 3/5 stars. A very inviting restaurant in the middle of a random strip mall on the side of the road, the staff were super friendly and attentive and were the best part of the visit. The food was almost inedible. Pasta dishes overcooked and drowned in salty sauce, would avoid any of the Italian pasta dishes (we had a party of 5 so sampled chicken marsala, pork milanese, shrimp pasta, all were horrible). Maybe the American or Indian fare would be better. In the end, I think if you reset your expectations for a restaurant serving Italian/Indian/American fare in a strip mall anchored by Dunkin Donuts and Holiday Inn Express, you'll come in with appropriate expectations for the food. A big plus is the service and hospitality. read more

10/10 experience! Went on a Sunday, where they had live music that was fun and aligned with the romantic ambiance of the restaurant - even had a song performed for my partner and I! The lamb curry and lobster ravioli were nothing short of perfect. The manager was incredibly kind, walking around, chivalrously checking in on us multiple times throughout the experience. Thanks! read more

My absolute favorite restaurant in Cville. It's very elegant (great for date night) and we've always had excellent service. All the food is good, but my favorites are the butter chicken and the bhindi do pyaza. For dessert I love the mini croissants, which taste like the best carnival donuts you've ever had. Yummm read more

We had a day trip to Charlottesville and stopped by Fiorano on the way home with our pup. We were accommodated with outdoor seating underneath umbrellas for shade nestled by privacy trees for a calm and tranquil setting. The food was delicious and the service was very quick. We ordered the gyro and fries, fried zucchini and salmon salad. Everything was so fresh. Visit this place you will enjoy it! read more

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/DuS5kgrpFwpJhdGN/?mibextid=xfxF2i Wonderful atmosphere... The owner, Vinny, was so gracious and accommodating. He kept coming to our table to talk and check on us. The wait staff was extraordinarily generous. I would post pictures of the food, but we ate it too fast! I will say that the muscles and the calamari and limoncello cake were fabulous. The ribeye in green beans and mashed potatoes was also delicious, as well as the salmon gorgonzola. read more

Great food and the owner has some of the best hospitality ive seen. Try the french onion or lamb curry.

We had a calamari, caprese mussels, LAMB SOUP, Greek salad... OMG!!! Personal conversation with owner with details about the land soup!! read more

This is a real dining experience. The food is wonderful, the atmosphere is very relaxing and the hospitality is over the top!

Great cuisine and service, elegant table setting with linen table cloth and fresh roses, quiet and romantic. Tables are more comfortable than booths. Definitely recommend! read more

This was a nice restaurant. We came here for dinner and was not disappointed. They start your dining experience with chips and a tomato dip. The chips were like a deep fried flour tortilla and were not greasy. They were good! The tomato salsa was a little sweet but still tasty. We ordered zucchini and lentil soup for an appetizer. The zucchini was perfect! Nice big chunks of zucchini breaded in a crispy breading served with ranch. The lentil soup was tasty and served with delicious slices of bread. I ordered the 12 oz ribeye with creamed potatoes and baby broccoli. I ordered my steak medium-rare and it came out perfectly. The potatoes were tasty and broccoli was tender. My husband ordered lobster ravioli said it was flavorful, enjoyed it and wished it had more ravioli. Efficient and friendly service and overall great experience in a clean restaurant. We will be back! Thank you! read more

Fiorano - a dining room with tables and chairs - Mediterranean Near Me - Barboursville, Virginia

Positives: great service, nice people, mellow atmosphere and they were willing to work with us because of my wife's food allergies (wheat and nuts are the main ones) The food: I could eat bowls of the tomato chutney that came with the pita chips that they bring out to each table. I started with the Samosa appetizer, which was tasty and nice with the sauces provided. I ordered the ribeye medium and they cooked it to what I considered medium Negatives: The mashed potatoes that came with the steak were cold, but the steak and broccolini was hot, so I assume they were put on the cold plate first. I didn't say anything about it to them, but keep your side eye to yourself. My wife got the paneer with Dutch cheese and she didn't think it was as flavorful as she expected, we did mention that to them. The biggest negative, some things on the dinner menu are pricey. $21 for a bowl what is essentially stewed veggies and some some cheese, $12 for 6 fried dumplings, and $3 for a iced tea or fountain drink. Summary: We're glad we gave them a try and we plan to go back and try some other menu items. I recommend you give them a try as well. read more

Extremely pleasant dinner experience. Soft but not dark lighting, relaxed atmosphere, and polite, professional, and available staff. We had salad and breaded zucchini for an appetizer. Both were incredible; salad was well presented without being over dressed. The zucchini was hot, fresh, and plenty to share...if you can as the flavor keeps you going back for more. For dinner, the gyro was definitely freshly made, not a microwave reheat. The vegetables were fresh, crisp, and great flavor added to the tzatziki sauce and warm wrap. The fries were meaty enough for a dinner side with crisp outside, warm inside, and just a touch of seasoning flavor added. The other item as a simple pepperoni pizza. This could have been a challenge as too much effort would make it unrecognizable and too little makes it like an over grown bagel bite. However, they succeed here as well. Buttery fresh crust and cooked just long enough to turn the pepperoni up but not so long to burn or crisp it...done right. The center of the crust was firm enough to hold the pizza but not so firm to remind you of a saltine. Great job here and definitely a pizza worth ordering again. Overall, an amazing experience for a Friday night after a long week. A place to unwind and relax without wasting a paycheck on a simple meal. Incredible food, amazing staff, wonderful environment...first time here but definitely will not be a last time. Highly recommended without reservation or doubt! Come, eat, enjoy, relax, unwind, and take in the ambiance and environment, your nerves, blood pressure, and family and friends will appreciate. read more

My wife and I have eaten around the world. Fiona provided an excellent dining experience that we did not expect. I had the Grilled Salmon gorgonzola which was delicious. It came out hot, fresh, and the service was very fast. The taste of it was like homemade. My wife had the Lobster Raviolis which was also really good and extremely flavorful. The ambience was also very welcoming the place was very clean the fresh flowers, candles, and tablecloths made for a very nice high class feel read more

Our experience was simply terrible. Service was a total failure - we were seated, then completely ignored by the staff - even after we asked for water and service. A waiter stood next to us setting glasses and ignored our gestures for assistance. There were perhaps three other guests, so it was a busy evening. Will NOT be going back. read more

Accidentally ended up at this place but it was well worth it. The minute we walked in we were greeted and taken to a table. Honestly walking through the restaurant I felt way underdressed for how nice it was in there. Looking over the menu they had a great selection and the prices were really reasonable. It was lunch so I decided on something light and went with the Turkey Pesto Panini with fries. I have to say that it was one of the best paninis I have ever had and the fries were amazing. The owner was very nice and checked on us regularly. If you are in the area I highly recommend trying this place out. read more

My husband and I just left here and we cannot stop talking about how delicious everything was. He ordered the lamb curry and an Old Fashioned. I had the Gorgonzala salmon pasta, wine, and we both shared the cheesecake. The service was outstanding. I am guessing it was the owner that made sure we had everything we needed but if it was the manager or head waiter then he is a keeper. We just adored him. My husband is a man of few words and could not stop raving. Please visit this little hidden gem if you are close by. ​ read more

We went to Fiorano for restaurant week and were delighted. The proprietor is charming and the atmosphere relaxing. The food was wonderful! I had the samosas (quite nice, with the unusual addition of jalapenos), lamb curry (amazing) and gulab jamun (perfect, just like Mom made when I was young). My companion had the bruschetta (delicious), filet mignon (also delicious) and a decadent limoncello mascarpone cake. We went on Friday, and I'm already trying to figure out when I can go back for more lamb curry! Their regular menu prices look slightly on the pricey side, but the food was definitely worth it. The only slight draw back was slow service - it took a quite a while after we finished our meal to be able to pay and leave. Again, though, it was worth it. read more

Great food, great time and the best thing of all is Vinny the owner he is the life of the party and a wonderful guy! read more

Fiorano was recommended to us by our lovely B&B hosts and we were not disappointed! My husband and I love Mediterranean and Indian cuisine. We enjoyed the bruschetta, lamb curry and butter chicken paired with the Chateau Saint-Sulpice. Our dishes came with basmati rice and naan. The portions were perfect, the flavors exquisite, and the presentation top notch. The staff were absolutely fabulous and the owner was so gracious and inviting. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. The ambiance was super cool, too. What a great spot!! We wish you much success! read more

Cozy, mood lighting, fresh flowers and candles on each table, white table cloth and cloth napkins, deep, private booths, very attentive and kindly service, and very delicious food.

What a lovely find! We started our dinner with Samosa, followed by Greek Gyro and side salad, followed by Tiramisu. All of the food was absolutely delicious. The wait staff were all very friendly and shared the responsibility for our table so we wanted for nothing. Although there was a large wedding party present, we received prompt service and food and the atmosphere was pleasant. We would definitely visit again! read more

We had a strange dining experience here. There was a fixed menu for Mother's Day that the staff didn't seem to know much about. Table was over crowded with decorations. Odd vibe from the staff. Not outright rude but all seemed like they were over it. The sign on the door about guns and knives was off putting for a nice dinner. I guess it was meant for the bar side of the restaurant? The food was decent. Italian Indian fusion was unexpected but not bad. read more
