I would give more stars if possible. Classy, linen tablecloths, napkins, and an extensive menu at reasonable prices. The garlic knots are delicious! The salad is no longer included but for seven dollars you get a large salad to share with your guest, separate plates. The waiters are knowledgable and friendly. The accomodate any changes and do so with a smile.The tiramisu is so great you will want to save room. Portions are enough to bring home for next meal. The eggplant is exceptional! The menu is varied and has something for everyone, the wild mushroom ravioli is unique and so worth it. Try Fiores, you will be coming back as everyone we have introduced. Sadly they are closed Mondays,so enjoy any of the other days! Again the wait staff in fantastic and so are the chefs!!!!! read more

i've been coming to Fiore's on Main Street in Middletown since they first opened. Over the past year or two they have significantly lowered the caliber of their service and food to a point where it's disgusting. They have omitted the tiny little tossed salad that they used to serve with each meal. Now, of course every salad is à la carte. It was 90° out today and they have all the windows open instead of the AC being on. There are house flies everywhere and fruit flies everywhere. It was absolutely disgusting trying to eat. read more

I've been to Fiore II a few times and have always had a great experience. Attended an event at RJ Julia Bookstore this evening and my family and I decided to have dinner afterward and ended up here. A very quaint Italian restaurant with a very attentive staff. It wasn't crowded as it was a rainy Thursday evening. We were greeted and sat right away. They immediately brought us delicious warm garlic knots. OMG!!! Our meals were Chicken Marsala, Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Fiore & Lobster, and Chicken & Shrimp. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and had plenty of leftovers. One family member asked for extra sauce for their leftover Chicken Fiore & Lobster and the kitchen made fresh sauce to add to their take away plate!! Top Notch Service!! read more

Took almost 1 hour for our food to hit our table. Waitress forgotten to get my wine, which she eventually realized and offered to take it off the bill. We sat near the entrance so the lack of attention to your customers who have been waiting for their food needs some improvement. Once we finally got our food they forgot to bring out my wife's food, basically the order never went to the kitchen. So they had to make her food in a rush, it was kinda warm/cold in the middle but she was so hungry that she didn't want to sent back again. The waitress did take that off the bill as well. Overall they needed some help that day not sure what happened why the lack of checking on your patrons. They did fix their errors and we did appreciate all the discounts and offers they made to make things right. For that I am grateful. The food was good, there was plenty of seating for large groups, downstairs there is a large seating area, outdoor seating, and bar side seating is available. read more

Not so great - there are better choices nearby. For $50 for lunch for 2 people I expect really good food. We started with complimentary garlic knots. The specials came with soup: a brothy soup with potato and pasta (ditalini a small, tube-shaped pasta) - it was an odd mixture but definitely homemade and the tastiest part of our meal. The lobster ravioli seemed like something straight out of supermarket but it was ok. The eggplant special was awful - it was a huge portion of these super flat probably frozen eggplant strips covered in marinara sauce. I think special meant that they were cleaning out their freezer. The parmesan cheese was kraft and not the freshly grated kind. The service was attentive and good but it really can't make up for the subpar food. read more

I hadn't been here for a while, I sat at the bar and asked for a menu. Their lunch prices are very high-$17 for chicken fiore. They don't include a salad anymore . They did have garlic knots. The food quality was good/ but the lunch prices are outrageous. I won't go back. There was very few people in the restaurant. Now I know why. I'm read more

Stopped for lunch on way through Middletown. We have eaten in the dining room before so went with a cozy booth in the bar area for more casual style. Food is excellent! Lasagne and Veal Fiore both ample portions. Sauces on each were on point as one a red sauce and the other a vodka pink. Fresh tomato taste and not too acidic or heavy. Service was attentive. Easy street parking during the weekday so enjoyed a walk as well. read more

This restaurant has it all. Great service, amazing food, amazing desserts, the ambiance is nice, like a little classical Italian family restaurant. I cannot express how good the food was. My friend was with me, he's not usually a big food fan, but he ate everything that he ordered, got the pistachio cake to end it off, and said it was so good he could cry. Their pasta was the highlight for me. Perfectly done. It's a little pricey, but honestly, it's worth it. A gem on Main Street. read more

Our family has dined at Fiore ll on numerous occasions, and have always had great Italian food, good service, at reasonable prices. We loved the atmosphere in a nice quiet setting. Their lunch menu has a large selection of entrées. Entrees come with their delicious homemade garlic knots topped with Parmesan cheese.The Chicken Fiore is outstanding topped with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, in a vodka pink sauce. The chicken parmesan, and veal parmesan are also good choices. We also had a side order of meatballs, and they were excellent.The only disappointment is salads no longer come with the meal. read more

We are eating our way through all the many restaurants on Main Street in Middletown. Foote II was our most recent. It's one of several Italian restaurants on Main. It's also the most reasonably priced. We were greeted and seated right away and there was no time before our friendly waiter showed up with water and to take our drink order. As always we skipped drinks and placed our dinner and appetizer order. While waiting for our appetizer we were served Fiore's version of garlic knots. Let's be honest all Italian restaurants have some version of these-oily, garlicky and in this case covered in Parmesan. No good for someone on a low sodium diet but so delicious. Also included with our dinner was a choice of pasta fagioli or house salad. We both opted for the soup. Fair. Our main courses came and did not disappoint. The portions were quite generous and delicious. The lasagna actually reminded me of that at Olive Garden, to me a good thing. There was plenty of meat in the bolognese and the sauce seemed slightly sweet. While we have many more restaurants on Main to explore, we'll definitely be back to Fire II. read more

I forgot what I ate (it has been a couple of years since), but I still remember the taste of red sauce on my plate. I'm far from being an Italian cuisine connoisseur; however, I think the difference between one Italian restaurant and another is fundamentally in the sauce. Fiore has it! The last time I enjoyed eating Italian was in Savannah, GA, a few months ago, and I remembered how delicious my Fiore's dinner was while eating my eggplant parmesan. read more

True Italian masterpiece right here! Very impressive service, great specials-- and they start the meal with garlic knots and olive antipasto free of charge which is always appreciated. The ambiance is romantic and lovely, a great spot for a night out with friends or a date night for sure. Highly recommend!!! read more

Right on Main St in Middletown. When we arrived at 5:45 for dinner, very few patrons. As the night went on, the place was bustling. I ordered my go-to, chicken marsala over pasta. My friend ordered the beef tips special. Both of us opted for salads w house dressing. Garlic knots came quickly, and she loved them. My chicken dish was excellent, very robust sauce. She also loved her entree. Service was impeccable. We split tiramisu and cannolis for dessert. Also, excellent. The only drawback of the evening were the ubiquitous flies dive bombing our food and, at times, us. They do have outdoor seating and doors are open to the outside, but really need to do something about the flies. read more

We came here the other night and had a great time. The food was delicious...we started with the Fried Mozzarella and Shrimp Oregenata. Both very good, the shrimp app was a. Bit small in my opinion for $14, it came with 4 shrimp but not very large shrimp. I got the chicken and shrimp entree with broccoli on the side instead of pasta. It was beautiful, delicious, and a nice portion! . My friend go the Chicken Marsala and she loved it . The food made me want to go back as try another one of their many entrees. The service was pretty good, after getting our drinks we were left waiting to take our order for a while, and after we ate all the staff went outside to take pictures and we were waiting to pay for a while. But other than that, they were friendly, attentive, and helpful. The restaurant is a traditional total, white table cloth kind of place. Very charming and cute. read more

If you are looking for great Italian food at an affordable price, this is the place, plus you can't go wrong with service that is top notch, and waitstaff whom are very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is located in downtown with plenty of on street parking and metered lots nearby. The restaurant is quaint and it it a great place for either a formal or casual event. The food is delectable, probably the best Italian restaurant I've been to in this area. When we were seated, they brought us a warm bowl of garlic knots, they were moist and topped with a sweet garlic and a lite drizzle of oil and then topped with a sprinkling of Gorgonzola cheese. We shared an appetizer of calamari which was cooked to perfection, lightly seasoned and not at all greasy, there was a good mix of little squid tentacles and rings served with a chunky well seasoned marinara sauce. The house salads were served with an Italian house dressing dusted with Gorgonzola cheese. My daughter had the chicken fiore which was a fork tender chicken filet topped with spinach, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese in a vodka pink sauce. I had the chicken and shrimp which also was an extremely tender chicken filet which doesn't require a knife to cut, that is how tender the chicken is, the chicken is topped with slices of eggplant, then a couple spears asparagus, and a couple butterflied shrimp, then topped with cheese served over fresh noodles with a vodka pink sauce. After how tasty the entrees were, how could we pass on dessert, but we took the dessert to go, we ordered the tiramisu which like everything else was fabulous with a nice blend mascarpone, lady fingers drizzled with the right amount of coffee liquor and topped with shaved chocolate. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I was staying in visiting Middletown at the Middletown Inn and decided to visit Fiore for dinner. I came in on a Monday night, so the restaurant was not too crowded, but there was still a nice amount of patrons. I started off with a sparkling water to drink and soon after placed my order: calamari (for my appetizer) and chicken and shrimp (for my entree). The dinner rolls that they bring out here before your meal are really good. Nice doughy bread and some garlic and oil on top. With every entree, you get a choice of a soup or salad, so I got the garden salad with Italian dressing, which I munched on while the rest of my order was being made. I started off with the calamari, which was delicious. It was fried in a nice crunchy batter and the calamari itself had a great bite to it and the meat went well the marinara sauce that it came with. My chicken and shrimp entree was scrumptious. It was chicken sitting on a bed of noodles topped with eggplant, cheese and some pieces of shrimp. A great sauce on top too that brought out a lot of flavor. I wish there were a few more pieces of shrimp, but that is not much to complain about! The portions here are especially large, so be prepared for leftovers. I wanted some dessert, but the others in my party wanted to leave, so I skipped on that. The servers here are very attentive and nice. Really good at their jobs and make everything a welcoming atmosphere. Altogether, Fiore is a really nice restaurant in Middletown that serves delicious Italian food in a cozy environment. read more

Delicious food keeps us coming back! I get the portobello mushroom app every time we come here because it is so flavorful. It's tart with a slight sweetness and the salt from the Gorgonzola makes for a perfectly balanced appetizer. Good size portions we had enough for lunch the next day. We got the lava cake for dessert and it was nice and warm and gooey. The staff are friendly and we've never had to wait for a booth but there always seems to be a good amount of customers when we come. Highly recommend! read more

Food here is exceptional and consistently good with a waitstaff to match. The menu is small but lends itself to a fast turn over; not only freshness of produce but other typical Italian ingredients and their preparations. What is most interesting is the owners and chef's in the kitchen are not Italian, they are from Montenegro but at first bite I'm sure you'll agree, no matter as these folks nail it and after all Montenegro is close enough to Italy to make any sketic a believer. Stop by and see if you don't agree. Oh, those garlic knots, jeepers kreepers! read more

It's only fair I add this review back from my 2 visits within the same month of December 2019. Yes I came here twice with a couple weeks of each other in December 2019. That's how good it was. I should have done this review before my must recent one. Again, it's only fair. The food was incredible back then. The penne putanesca was delicious and the eggplant fiore was also very good. Service was very good those two times in December 2019. Service was spot on. The pasta fagioli was also amazing. The garlic knots were also incredible with lots of garlic and so fresh. Salads are nice and fresh with your choice between 3 different dressings that they carry. Salads come with most meals unless marked on the menu with an asterisk * that they do not. Prices are reasonable. The restaurant is kept very clean. Soup is nice and hot like it's supposed to be. Some places send you out warm soup. This place does it right sending out nice hot soup. Well decorated. Parking isn't too bad. Street parking on the main street that the restaurant is located on with meters and street parking on the side street with meters which is also fairly close. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner on a Monday. One of the few restaurants in Middletown open on Mondays. We were seated in the bar area. My husband was interested in lobster. He ordered the house salad and added lobster. The lobster was hot in a butter sauce. He thought it was delicious. The house salad comes with their house balsamic vinaigrette. He definitely would eat this again. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan. There was no description about coming with anything however, there was. homemade Pappardelle pasta underneath the eggplant. It was very good. Their sauce is on a slight sweet side but I was very happy with the meal. Entrées come with soup or salad . I had the side salad which it comes with their balsamic vinaigrette. The garlic rolls seem to be unlimited. They kept bringing them out. They were warm and tasted. We were both very happy with our meals. We would like to come again to try some other things. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. I did question why there was $.12 added to the bill that said "rounded ". It seems like the bills get rounded up to the nearest dollar after tax is added.. The server explained it was an old system and that's how it does it. read more

We loved this restaurant we stumbled into, since we didn't want to wait on another restaurant nearby. Positives: - Great bread - Great food, my kids mentioned it's one of the best Italian places they've been to. - Decent prices - Great customer service. The only negative: we have a party of 5 people. Gratuity of 20% was automatically added to the bill. Fine. The problem: tip % should be on the amount BEFORE tax, not after tax. read more

I'd like to second the reviewer who said they have the best bread at this place. It's basically garlic knots bathed in butter, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. This is fast becoming one of my favorite Italian restaurants. I've gone for dinner the past two Friday nights and had Sal as our waiter (great service). My first visit, I ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavlo and ordered it extra spicy. I was very satisfied. My second visit, I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli which comes in a red pesto sauce with Gorgonzola cheese - also delicious. Honorable mention to the pasta fagiola which tastes just like how my grandmother used to make it. It's a clean restaurant with great service, and very affordable prices. They only take reservations for parties of 6+, but I showed up at 5:30 and was seated immediately both visits. Highly recommended. read more

I ordered take out. OMG the garlic knots are super delicious. Soft and buttery. My husband and I really enjoyed them. The shrimp scampi was good, I added more garlic to it. The shrimp were huge. The lady who took my order was really nice and she told me when I went to pick up my food that she informed the kitchen of my allergy. I didn't have to ask which was really nice. The parking was horrible on a Friday around 5:15pm. It was raining so I didn't want to walk far and ruin my curly hairdo, I created a spot and prayed I didn't get a ticket. Thank God my meal was ready when I arrived so I was in and out. The restaurant is small, however I want to make plans to dine in one day, to get those garlic knots fresh out the oven. The lobster ravioli was also good, I love garlic so I added more garlic to it. I'll visit during a weekday when it's nice out. read more

I've been a customer at Fiore's for years. They serve up all of the classic Italian dishes. It's one of my favorite places for eggplant parmesan and rollatini, veal cutlet dishes, and linguine with white clam sauce. Fiore's makes fabulous complimentary garlic knots, and that's another reason I choose to visit. The value is great. Most entrees are served over pappardelle pasta, and each entree comes with a salad. I've never been disappointed with their food, and I highly recommended their veal Fiore. The service is also fast, and they always offer specials. Check them out for some Italian comfort food! read more

What can I say? We just love Fiore ll! My husband changes up his selections, I do not. I come for the veal Genovese and it's always superb. We dined outside this week and service as always was attentive and efficient My only critique would be at times it seems rushed. But when I remember I ask that they slow the pace, it's perfect! Otherwise your entree arrives when you're less than half way through your salad! Always delicious! read more
