The appetizers, mains, and desserts were phenomenal. I had a special of fettuccine with mussels and it was great. The burrata, the tiramisu, it was all first class. This is the best meal I have had all week. read more

Headed over for dinner with a friend at around their opening time of 5 pm on a Tuesday and we were one of the first tables there. The interior is so cozy and classy with the wooden fixtures and some deeper red brown hues. The menu is pretty specialized with their appetizers and mains. Focaccia - Some of the best starter focaccia I have ever gotten. It was so soft with a light crunchy outside and perfectly salty dipped in the olive oil mixture. I loved the addition of cheese and tomatoes in it as well making it similar to a pizza. Vongole al Vino Bianco - It was spicy and garlicky in this clear simple wine sauce. The clams themselves were big and juicy, sauteed very nicely and tomatoes always pair so well. It was so flavorful I would have dipped more bread into it. Tortelloni Allo Zafferano - It came out piping out, a good portion size and the saffron sauce was decadent and creamy. The ricotta prosciutto mixture inside was light and savory that balanced out the rich sauce. The flavors of the pasta were unique to other ones that I've had before. My friend says it is one of her favorite Italian places in the city and it is such a cute, intimate place for a nicer meal or date night! read more

My son and DIL took us to this wonderful restaurant last Saturday night to celebrate our anniversary. What a fantastic place! It's small, cozy and you can actually hear yourself think. Service was perfect and the place was very comfortable. We started with sharing the beet salad, the carpaccio and the prosciutto dishes. Each one was delicious. I would love to have the beet salad again all to myself! For the main, everyone's had a pasta dish. I had the tagliatelle dishes with salmon. The pasta is some of the best I have ever tasted. For dessert, we shared the panna cotta and the cannoli- both were perfect. Nice wine list too! Highly recommend Fiore Cafe and we will definitely be back. read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday dinner with a group of people. We made kind of a last minute reservation but they were able to accommodate us. We were seated right when we arrived, and began to order a bunch of items from the menu. I would say everything was quite tasty! One of our favorites was the ravioli and burrata. This is a nice choice if you are looking for an Italian spot for dinner. read more

The food is fantastic!! There's a decent bit of space in there. They give focaccia as an appetizer and it's delicious. I had their homemade tortellini - AMAZING. I've also had their 5 hour slow cooked bolognese and it was fantastic. You can't go wrong read more

My friend Carlos and I decided to meet for dinner, and I thought this would be an ideal place to catch up after a long absence since we actually were looking forward to hearing each other. Not a problem since there weren't any other customers for the entirety of our dining experience here. At the same time, it was concerning actually because we were wondering whether this was part of a longer term downward trend. Was there anything wrong about this place? Nope, the food was actually pretty well executed, and the space was certainly pleasant enough. Our dinner started nicely with a plate of housemade focaccia bread accompanied by an herb-infused olive oil (photo: https://yelp.to/SMl09J3-S5). Carlos and I decided to share an appetizer, the $14 Mozzarella in Carrozza where two pieces of panko-encrusted smoked mozzarella were served with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a side of romaine salad (photo: https://yelp.to/r75mlzFqwZ). It worked. For his main, Carlos had the $25 Ravioli alla Burrata where handmade ravioli was stuffed with burrata cheese, browned in olive oil along with roasted tomato, olives, and zucchini (photo: https://yelp.to/W2DrJo5pGE). It was a refreshing dish dominated by the fresh burrata. I was more predictable and ordered the $25 Fettuccine alla Bolognese, my pasta sauce of choice with the handmade pasta ladled with a rich, meaty sauce and topped with ricotta and fresh basil (photo: https://yelp.to/X75dTTjbFG). It was just what I wanted, so it didn't disappoint. We also decided to share a side dish, the $10 Tris di Funghi, three kinds of mushrooms sautéed with garlic, peperoncini, and parsley (photo: https://yelp.to/qkidN5ZjWv). We chatted away almost our whole meal, and of course, total disregard of our caloric intake meant we needed to share the $10 Cannoli for dessert. It was quite a big housemade one piped with lots of whipped cream accented by chopped pistachios and orange rind (photo: https://yelp.to/vkaAZO64Pj). A fine ending. FOOD - 4 stars...no complaints about the execution here, maybe a little more oomph AMBIANCE - 4 stars...nice airy dining room, plenty of windows SERVICE - 4.5 stars...certainly had the attention of the owner TOTAL - 4 stars...authentic Italian, definitely deserves more business RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

One of the best bangs for the buck in SF. Like that they don't add an additional service fee!

Stayed overnight at a bed and breakfast nearby. It was my boyfriend, myself and my 90-year-old mom having dinner there. We ordered the Ravioli, spaghetti and salmon plates they were all so delicious. The ambiance was lovely & service was exceptional. His kindness even made it the best because my mom wanted a glass of warm milk. And he sent someone to go get milk, warmed it and foamed it and she was so delighted. read more

Delicious Sicilian omelette! I asked for a salad instead of the potatoes - so good! The servers/waitstaff are awesome - love coming here for breakfast, brunch or lunch - wish they were open for dinner too! :) read more

I had the opportunity to visit Fiore Caffe with my wife last night and we were extremely pleased with the quality, service and flavor of the food. Definitely an authentic ristorante Napoletano. We started with a delicious Mozzarella I Carrozza antipasti, which was delicious and finished with the Paccheri Al Ragú Napoletano, to die for and a light and flavorful Burrata Ravioli with olive oil, zucchini and roasted tomatoes. The affogato and the chocolate mousse was a great way to finish the evening! We are definitely coming back! read more

I shared a delicious meal here last night with my Sweetheart celebrating our 2 year anniversary! The ambiance was serene and unhurried, the food delicious and very fresh, the owner/server attentive and inquiring and the music eclectic, interesting and surprising! We wondered why more patrons were not there enjoying this sweet spot?!? Their loss... We will happily return and encourage folks to do the same! read more

Little reunion with my friends from my first year of working and this was the perfect spot to go. The food menu was clean and simple - few selection of starters, antipasti, entrees, and secondi. The drinks menu was a little more comprehensive with by the glass or bottle options of wine. I went in with high hopes and tried the spaghetti with olives and capers - genuinely my favorite way to eat spaghetti. Fortunately, this dish exceeded my expectations - the sauce was just the right balance of sweet and acidic, the pasta was near al dente, and the capers and olives brought such a magical addition to the dish. I'll definitely be coming back here. read more

One of the best Italian restaurants in San Francisco! Great service, delicious and delicately cooked foods. I came here a few years ago and didn't have a chance to come back since the pandemic. So glad that the restaurant is still there with the same owner. We had salad, fried mozzarella, risotto, salmon pasta (homemade) with cream sauce, panna cottage and tiramisu. So yummy. Parking can be challenging, but we have been able to find it within one to two blocks from the restaurant. read more

A fantastic neighbourhood restaurant. All the dishes were excellent and reasonably priced for San Francisco. The service is friendly personal and old school and all the right ways. Everything was charming without being over the top. We look forward to returning. read more

Very cute and cozy dinner spot! Had the lasagna special. It was the perfect size, delicate, not too heavy. The salad with pear was also great. Wish they had an oil/balsamic spread for the complimentary bread, but otherwise loved the visit here! read more

Unassuming, authentic, and tasty Italian dishes. Good for groups. Good for my kids (aged 7-17) and their friends. Friendly Italian owner and staff. A neighborhood gem on the border of Noe/l Valley/Mission. read more

A neighborhood gem. Quality simple Italian food. Reasonably priced. Quiet. Great for a first date or for an elderly couple.

This place has the most comforting peaceful ambience. Great for a date night and the service was also nice. We ordered a whole bunch of pastas to share. Most pastas were alright but the standout was the Tortelloni. The stuffing was creamy yet light and the saffron sauce is by far one of the best I've ever had. I could probably eat another plate of the sauce alone. Highly recommend and would come back here just for the Tortelloni. read more

Food and service were outstanding in this place. I have only ever reviewed a handful of restaurants but to comment on this place is easy. Will be adding this to our favorites rotation.

I was craving some yummy ravioli on a Friday night and tried this cute corner restaurant in SF. I took the recommendation of the sweet owner and tried their ravioli. I was happily surprised how light and delicious it was. I also tried my husband's dish and I enjoyed it as well. My favorite part of the experience was how accommodating and friendly the owner was. Go check them out! read more

Service was very slow. My friend and I waited an hour for our main courses to arrive - on a mid week night. Only 3 other tables had diners. The owner was the only one serving the guests so maybe another waiter called out. He was nice but made no apology for the long wait for our food. I had the risotto special and it was not special. The place was quite noisy, even though there were only four tables with diners. We did not order any alcohol. Just a salad to share and two entrées. By the time we left, we had been there almost 2 hours. There are too many good Italian restaurants in the city and I do not plan on returning to this one. read more

This place is such a cute neighborhood spot with solidly good food and wine. It's not busy or loud, so great for a conversation over a meal. We got the fried squash blossoms to start, I got the eggplant pasta and my partner got the bolognese, both were great. We also got dessert, which was equally good (I loved the fresh orange zest on the cannoli!). read more

Rock solid food. I had the house made burrito ravioli which were lavishly accompanied by vegetables. Very nice portion. Also a mixed salad which featured robust slices of pear. Also good! Limited but interesting wine list. I had a glass of Greco Di Tufo -- white I had not tried before. Super nice meal! read more

Finally tried Fiore Caffe after passing it a few times through the Mission. Firstly, the atmosphere is great and we learned that the tables and a lot of woodwork was made by the owner! Secondly, the food felt very authentic. The homemade focaccia gets the meal started well. My husband and I had the smoked mozzarella and the prosciutto wrapped radicchio for antipasti, which are simple, balanced, and not too heavy before the main. The pastas dishes were super balanced, I loved the texture of the spaghetti. The husband had the Ragu, and of course we switched halfway. And the tomato sauce base for each dish is super fresh. Finally, we had the tiramisu for dessert which cannot be faulted in anyway. And I eat and make a lot of tiramisu! Service was fantastic, the food was a bit slow paced (which I honestly didn't mind), yet the server always gave us updates and acknowledged us. Great date spot, romantic or friend! read more

Burrata for apps, gnocchi for mains and pannacotta for desserts - perfect meal! Service was great and host was very accommodative. We were a group of 7 and I enjoyed my Italian dinner here. Making a reservation would definitely help as this is a small cozy place. Parking can be an issue, we found street parking quickly though! read more

I had their special the other night which was beef lasagna and it was so delicious I forgot to take a picture until I was half way done. I also tried their hand made pasta with bolognese sauce on another visit and that was equally delicious. The service was friendly but can be more prompt. The place has the ambiance of a cute neighborhood restaurant. read more

Good service, very consistent and thoughtful food -- We love the steak, which is funny to say about an Italian restaurant, but it is so tender and juicy, and the vegetables it is served with are always really fresh and freshly made. Focaccia is served with every meal, and we love to use it to sop up the sauce when we order the tortelloni filled with prosciutto that comes in a saffron cream sauce.!! Fiore does great take out or eat-in. It's our neighborhood hangout; we are there about twice a month! read more

I would have given it 3 stars based on our last visit but I know it was an off night. We usually have dinner there once in a while. The staff is friendly and the food is very fresh and tasty. However, they do not organize the check-ins and reservations well. If they are busy, they do not check people in and people start waiting by the door. They then ask who is next. You can imagine how that goes from there. It ends up being a mess, where some people get seated 5 min after getting there and others have waited 45 min - and everyone has reservations. I think they need to work out their reservation system and have a sign up sheet when you get there or have the iPad/computer device they use work for checking people in on busy nights. Otherwise, they have a good selection of food and wine. The bread they give you when you sit down is great, and their flavors are all on point. read more

My boyfriend and I don't normally go out for Valentine's Day, but this place had a lot of openings and good reviews so I made us a reservation. The minute we walked in the vibe was completely chaotic. They were clearly understaffed which we were sympathetic about but we didn't expect our experience to be as bizarre as it was. There was one man running around playing waiter/manager/host while the other two women working seemed confused and spoke in whispers. Everything we ordered was just simply not good. It was as if all of the ingredients were the cheapest options found at Trader Joes. It also took a little over 2 hours to get our entrees which was just pasta and their lasagna special (which my boyfriend did not finish). I was optimistic about desert, but after we took one disappointing bite A RAT scurried across the restaurant floor. Check please... read more

Where do I even begin? Service? Excellent! Food quality? Superb! We had their special beef lasagna, risotto al frutti di mare and tiramisu and my partner and I are extremely grateful we went to visit this gem! We will definitely come back! Please support their business during this extenuating circumstances. A lot of restaurants are closing but this one is one of a kind! read more

This was unfortunately an extremely bland dinner. Every dish we had needed salt, but we were never looked after or asked how our dishes were and therefore couldn't ask for the salt the dishes so desperately needed. Way too much money to spend on mediocre food. Seems like the passion is gone. read more

Terrible TERRIBLE service. Had a party of 7 and waited over 2 hours for food. Saw multiple tables got seated after us and get served and leave before we even were considered. Waiter was snarky and sassy with us after asking where our food was multiple times. Never coming back here again. Food was very middling as well. Overall terrible experience, waiter started bad mouthing our table after forgetting our order. Do not go here. read more

I brought my in laws to eat here. The food was wonderful for this local spot that is kid friendly.

We went there 2 days ago for our date night and as an Italian I was a bit worried about the authenticity of this place. We ended up having an appetizer, 2 pastas and 2 spritzs as drinks. I have to say that while the appetizer (mozzarella in carrozza) wasn't anything crazy, both pastas were delicious. The ravioli were great, pasta was cooked well and the server brought us some great focaccia as well. Great to know this place in the neighborhood read more

First time coming here with my girlfriend and for my bday. The food tasted amazing! Customer service was great! Definitely love the chef's cooking. I love the Gnocchi Al Gorgonzola ($19.50) the most. I would definitely come back here to eat again. I forgot the name of the drink I have drank with my girlfriend. I not into alcohol drinks but this one is my favorite! I highly suggest people to stop by. read more
