We enjoyed Fiorella's Italian Kitchen so much during our Washington, DC vacation that we ended up eating there a second time! It was just a short walk from where we were staying at Club Wyndham around the corner, and it quickly became one of our favorite restaurants of the trip. We started with the fried calamari, garlic bread, and fried mozzarella, and every appetizer was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Our family each ordered our own individual pizzas, which was the perfect size and absolutely delicious. The crust was cooked just right, the toppings were fresh, and everyone loved their choice. The service was friendly and efficient both times we visited, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It's easy to see why this place is so popular. If you're visiting National Harbor and craving great Italian food, Fiorella's is a fantastic choice. read more

I had high expectations for this restaurant. I have to say that the ambiance is really nice. But... The waitress didn't take our drink order, we never received bread with our meal, and the pizza we ordered as an appetizer came after we were halfway through our meal. Two of my party had the chicken parm with vodka sauce and found the chicken to be tough and the sauce to be runny. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and found the sauce to be average. My husband had the chicken Alfredo. He found the sauce to be very thin and had pooled on the bottom of the plate. The chicken was tough and the noodles were too al dente. Again, I had high expectations for this restaurant but unfortunately found it lacking. So....it was kind of hit and miss. read more

Visited for lunch. Interior is beautiful and there is a decent view of the harbor. Seats were comfortable and the restaurant was clean. There is a little seating outside. Pizza was OK. Crust was thin. I got their supreme, and it was too many toppings and pretty greasy. Garlic bread was a focochia loaf. Nothing was bad, but it was just kind of lackluster. Service was inattentive. We were there for a late lunch and there were only 3 tables for the one server. The server sat and ate with friends, getting up to get himself things as he needed them. We had to get his attention everything we needed anything. read more

The staff was impeccable. Walked in with a party of 10 and they had a table set up for us in no time. Tried the house favorite lasagna and it was terrific! Must try if in the area. read more

Last night of vacation and tour group stopped at the Harbor for our free time. A decent pizza here, a little pricey in the quantity ratio, and could've used a little more sauce but its still a quality pizza. If I'm vacationing in the area again, I wouldn't rush to come back, but I wouldn't hesitate too either. read more

You walk in and smells like fresh dough, but I found the meal lackluster. We had the bread with burrata which was good but nothing special. The strawberry lemonade for $10 did not even have a real strawberry in the drink, it was essentially a fake syrup. I had the chicken parmasean which was fine but again nothing special. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

I have been holding back on a few spots and Fiorella's Italian Kitchen is one of them. Recently, I met up with a few friends for dinner and drinks. Although Fiorella's has an extensive menu with plenty of food options, I avoid dishes containing cheese and diary. To my surprise, they were able to accommodate my dietary request. What I ordered was not on the menu but none the less pleasing to my eyes and taste buds. I worked with my server to order grilled salmon, tomatoes and broccoli over garlic pasta prepared in olive oil. The exceptional customer service and willingness to make accommodations for special diets is enough for me to recommend and return to Fiorella's. read more

On Sunday, my brother and I visited Fiorella's, to enjoy food and drinks. We chose to sit at the bar, where we were greeted by a gentleman who was later identified as Franklin. He approached us carrying a handheld fan, placed two menus in front of us without saying a word--no greeting, no welcome, no acknowledgment--and immediately walked away. He then went to the other side of the bar, where I observed him engaging with other guests by asking if they wanted another round of drinks. A short time later, Franklin returned to our side of the bar, still holding the handheld fan, and stood there silently with an unusual stare. After several awkward moments, I asked if he was going to acknowledge or greet us. His response was, "I'm not the bartender," before walking away. I was genuinely surprised by his response, especially since I had already watched him preparing drinks and interacting with other guests as the bartender. My brother and I continued to wait, expecting someone else to assist us, but no one came. Eventually, Franklin returned and casually asked if we wanted to order. By that point, I was in complete disbelief. My brother placed our order, but the experience had already left such a negative impression that I completely lost my appetite. I live in National Harbor and dine throughout the Harbor area frequently. In all my years of dining out, I have never experienced such poor customer service. When our food was delivered, I asked to speak with the manager. The manager, Bailly, listened as I explained the situation. My first question was whether Franklin was, in fact, the bartender. She confirmed that he was and stated, "Yes, he is. I don't know why he said that he wasn't." I also mentioned that Franklin seemed more focused on carrying around his handheld fan than providing basic customer service. Her response was, "It sounds like we missed the mark." While I appreciated that she listened, I felt the response minimized what had occurred. This wasn't simply a case of "missing the mark." It was a complete failure to provide even the most basic level of hospitality. When she asked what she could do to make things right, I requested a to-go box and the check because I no longer felt comfortable staying. This experience demonstrated a significant lack of customer service standards. I strongly encourage corporate leadership to invest in comprehensive customer service training for all employees before they are placed in guest-facing roles. The fundamentals of hospitality should never be overlooked. Customer service begins with the basics: * Be friendly and welcoming. * Greet and acknowledge guests immediately. * Give customers the benefit of the doubt. * Focus on resolving problems rather than assigning blame. * Be willing to go the extra mile. * Always follow through. I've shared this experience with many people because I genuinely couldn't believe it happened. Unfortunately, this wasn't simply a missed opportunity--it reflected a complete breakdown in the customer service experience from beginning to end. read more

Went for a late lunch and we're seated quickly. Tried the spinach and crab dip appetizer and the truffle and mushroom pizza. Both were good. The dip was warm, not hot, as expected. It came with a perfect amount of chips. read more

I stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to sit for happy hour. We sat in the bar area and was served by Justin. I would've just given this review 3 stars but the extra star is for him. I loved deals on the HH menu. Items ordered: Peach Sangria - pretty tasty Blueberry Mule - kind of on the sweeter side Calamari & Shrimp - the flavor was good; the shrimp breading was a little soggy on the bottom Pepperoni pizza - came out very hot and I love that; the flavor was good; it's made with pecorino instead of mozzerella read more

The only negative thing I have for this place is the creepy, fat, naked statue they have outside. Otherwise, I love this place and we usually eat here or at Bond 45 whenever we come to the harbour. Christmas is magical here. It is so cozy inside, there was lovely instrumental jazz Christmas music playing, the seating is comfortable and the food is excellent! Service is always great too! I highly recommend! The lasagna is wonderful: traditional with lots of meat and a bechamel sauce. The pizza is very good too! My only disappointment was the cannoli (I am a cannoli fanatic and order this everywhere if it's on the menu). The chocolate chips that were used were blooming and tasted old which ruined the flavor of the whole thing. Otherwise a good experience as usual. read more

Was looking for a cozy spot for an early dinner and stumbled into Fiorella's. I was able to get the perfect mix of seafood and pasta. They also specialize in coal oven pizza. I started with one of their seasonal drinks called the Blueberry Bramble and the spinach and artichoke dip as an app. I then got the seafood scampi for my entree. The scampi was seasoned well and the white wine sauce was flavorful. I was a solo diner and opted for a bar seat. Arriving at 4pm was perfect because the restaurant was slow and all my items came out quickly. I was taken care of by Justin who was such a pleasant young man. I enjoyed my experience and also order some food to go for lunch at work tomorrow. read more

The servers and waitstaff are rude and disrespectful. They lock up the doors 30 minutes before closing hour and wo t even allow a simple take out order. Probably why the overall rating is so low, or it could be that the food just isn't that good either read more

Fiorella's Italian Kitchen has a patio with the most amazing view of the Ferris Wheel. From the view to the food and drinks, everything was a 10/10 experience. Our waitress was super friendly and provided great recommendations, since my husband and I had never been there before. Their cocktails came in different, unique glasses and we appreciated that small attention to detail. We cannot wait to come back! read more

I've gone here twice for happy hour now and I really enjoyed it. The drinks are good and the food is really good too. It's right in the heart of the Harbor so if you sit outside the views are really nice, however it sits street side so there may be a lot of traffic (foot and/or vehicle) depending on the time of day. Would definitely recommend this cute restaurant as I'm confident the other menu items are just as good. read more

Excellent food! Great pizza , delicious Meatballs ! This place is great ! Prime location !

We came here after seeing the ice show at the Gaylord. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Very kid friendly also. Favorite thing on the menu was the mozz balls. Should I had known about this in the past, I would have just ordered these for my meal! The sandwiches are huge. I ordered the caprese salad, which was not very good, but that's not the restaurants fault. Just my taste buds. Also ordered the cheese pizza which is big enough for 2 people. read more

MY wife and I are pescatarians, my children aren't. I ordered the Cajun pasta and my wife had the vegetarian supreme. I have to tell you, the Cajun pasta was really good. It had the right amount of creaminess and I wished I had bread to mop up all the cajun fettuccini sauce. Sorry, forgot to take a pick. My wife pizza was pretty big, easily big enough for two people. I only had her crust because I was using it to mop up the pasta sauce, but my wife said it was good. read more

Fiorella's is conveniently located near the Gaylord National Conference Center & Resort and a number of other hotels. The food is really good. I especially recommend their wood oven pizzas.

We arrived Saturday around 445 and beat a rush that came in sometime later. We were seated quite quickly at a table that was blocking a previously used exit door. There was a little bit of a draft from the outside, but nothing that I couldn't live with. They were obviously maximizing their space as the restaurant isn't too large. I ordered the fish and chips and friends ordered pizza. My fish and chips arrived and they were average. Nothing crazy special, but the fish was cut thin and not thick haddock that had a heavy batter. The tartar sauce was a bit thick in consistency for my liking. The temperature of the food was not piping hot, but not cold either. It must likely sat in the window for some time before it was brought to us. As for the service it was so so. The waiter did bring us refills after we asked, but he appeared stretched thin the entire time and rushed when even taking our drink orders. The view was excellent though. All in all the experience was average. read more

Was craving pasta and my sister told me about this cute little area close to her house that we can visit to check out different restaurants. This place was located right for the harbor. There was a 45 minute wait but I wasn't too bad compared to the other restaurants which was an hour wait so we decided to stick around. We love the kids play in front where there is a play area and projected TV, until we were called. The restaurant side was nice and warm for this chilly night. The server was friendly greeted us with menus. The place is cozy and family-friendly with an upbeat music playing. I ordered the garlic bread with Parmesan and butter, house salad, and chicken Parmesan. I was so hungry. I couldn't eat all of it so I definitely had to get it to go. But chicken Parmesan had a lingering taste to it that didn't allow me to fully enjoy it the way I should. The house salad was huge, and that was really good. My sister had the warm spinach and crab dip, which was more spinach than crab. It was quite greasy to be honest. She also had the chicken Alfredo, which she did not complain about at all. The kids enjoyed a yummy pepperoni pizza. We ordered dessert to go because we were stuffed and we were eyeing the sticky Cinnabon so we can enjoy it at home. We got home and we tried to enjoy the sticky Cinnabon and it looked burnt and It was hard as a rock, I was definitely disappointed in that because it was $14 and I was really expecting to enjoy this at home in the comfort :( read more

We called to order a pizza for pick up but had to call to place our order as the online system was having technical issues.

The other menu items look really good as well. read more

Happened upon this restaurant on a Friday night. TBH, I didn't expect much! However, I was pleasantly surprised in more ways than one! The host who greeted us upon entry was super friendly and asked us what was our seating preference! As we are one to like to have TOO many options, we told her to choose! It was a pretty quiet night within the restaurant, so it allowed plenty of time for the service to offer us suggestions on cocktails and dinner! She was on point with both suggestions! When I say we left there stuffed and very pleased, we can't wait to go back! It's a relaxed atmosphere, which is something welcoming while dining at National Harbor! read more

This place has everything you would expect in a quasi fine dining Italian Restaurant, except the food. The ambient, service and interior design all live up to par at this location - heart of the National harbor. Our waiter Alvin was very friendly and attentive. The check in lady let us choose our seating area and immediately helped the kids seating. All the staff members are very kid friendly and they've got a real pizza oven where kids could watch the pizza being made and baked. The price is unbeatable at such a great location on a week day afternoon. I'm taking one star off because the food is really more American than Italian. We ordered a veggie supreme and a meat supreme pizza. The proportion of veggies and meat on each "pie" comes generous in amount. But tastes could really do a better job considering the oven they've got. The veggie one tasted okay. The meat pizza was so salty, that my all-time pepperoni pizza lovers did not want another bite but want to eat sth else afterwards. Neither one tastes phenomenal that would make us want to order them again. I would come back here again during HH but maybe order sth else other than Pizza. read more

I was in need of a real meal, something hardy that I wasn't able to get any other time that week. From the outside this appears to be nothing more than a pizzeria, but as I got nearer I saw the menu and that drew me in. The really played up the Italian eatery vibe inside with the way it was set up. That commonly associated red and white checkboard pattern, dim lighting, and the smell of garlic is amazing. We were led to a table, given menus and left to be until our server showed up. Our server was less than enthusiastic. Not only did she have a flat affect, but she was hard to find. If felt like if we did one thing out of line our service would be in danger. I know I was thirsty that day, but to get a refill was almost impossible. The food, however, was pleasant. After looking over the menu my friend and I decided on a few sharable items and then our own entrees. We got a Bowl of Meatballs, Fried Mozzarella Balls, and Garlic Bread to share. The meatballs were amazing, perfectly seasoned, appropriate size to share, and did not make us full so that we could enjoy our main courses to come. The mozzarella balls were a nice compliment to the meatballs. Seriously put one of each on a plate and you can have a nice cheesy meaty bite. The one let down of the sharable items was the garlic bread. I felt like they could have done this one a bit better. It was a small loaf of bread that wasn't all that easy to share. You had to rip pieces of the loaf to get it going and there wasn't much of a garlic flavor to it as well. My main course was what they have named on the menu as The Real Nonna's Spaghetti Bolognese. This usually comes with a traditional Italian beef meat sauce and porcini mushrooms. I'm not a fan of mushrooms so I asked for this without the mushrooms. It was a good portion to serve as a meal and I continued to rip off pieces of the garlic loaf to try and mop up the sauce. It was a delightful meal that hit the spot. read more

This Italian restaurant is located in the Harbor and it was pretty good. The atmosphere was chill, not really fancy, I liked it! The servers here were surprisingly young, maybe because it was 2 1/2 hours before closing, they were doing a lot of horseplaying. Which, to me is a bad look. Ok. Now to the food and drinks. I ordered a watermelon fizzle sans alcohol. It was delicious, and I liked that it came in a little fishbowl. For my entrée, I got the seafood scampi. It was good. I'm glad they weren't stingy with the sauce. Enough seafood (shrimp, calamari, and scallops). I assumed it was supposed to have some crab meat, but it was hardly any in there. Overall, this is a cool spot. read more

The restaurant is decorated very nicely, there is music playing in the background, I can barely hear it because it was pretty loud / crowded in here. We ordered the mozzarella balls and they were delicious... I loved the sauce they served it with as well. Yummy . however they are fried in the same oil as the shrimp, so if your allergic you should skip this appetizer. All three of us ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo which we needed to add a lot of parmesan cheese to get it to taste right... without adding it, it would be very bland. Not sure if we would order it again... the flat lasagna looks good. The bread looked good... I did not try it but my friend said it was worth the $7 price tag. We are staying at the Gaylord and the prices for dining in, is pretty expensive for what you get... so it was quite refreshing to dine in here and enjoy some good Italian food. I highly recommend you give this place a try. read more

The happy hour was awesome. It was such a great value. The food was also really good.

I stopped by Fiorella's for lunch today which was Juneteenth Day and my experience was beyond amazing. First of all I was pleasantly greeted by Al as I entered inside the restaurant. He greeted me and asked if I'd preferred sitting outside or inside. I chose the outside and he kindly escorted me to my table which had a perfect view of the activities taken place for Juneteenth. Next, the ambience and decor both inside and outside were amazingly beautiful. I really love having meals at a restaurant with a beautiful ambience and noticeably clean. Fiorella was both beautiful and clean. Thirdly, the food was incredibly delicious, whereas I ordered the Margherita Pan Pizza! My food arrived in a very quick manner and I was well pleased with its appearance and taste. Although the pizza was quite filling I decided to ask for a carryout container so I'd have room for a dessert. I asked Al about the bread pudding and he highly recommended it. I was very impressed with the bread pudding's appearance, but the taste was as impressive. It was beyond words to describe. I thoroughly enjoyed both the pizza and the dessert. Overall, I really enjoyed this experience and am very grateful to Al for his great service. I'm including pictures of both the pizza and dessert. I will be back on a regular basis and also will share my experience with friends and family. read more

Our book club found this little gem randomly. We were actually supposed to go elsewhere for out little meetup, however, the place we had reservations for did not have outdoor seating. To stay inside on such a beautiful Friday off is considered a HUGE no-no. We walked down the "hill" and found Fiorella. Fiorella is known for their pizzas and cocktail menu. By now our book club members have tried all the pizzas--ordering one is now a tradition. In fact, we order a pizza, pasta dish, seafood dish and family-styled salad to share amongst the table. We all share everything and have ourselves A DAY. We typically have two to three drinks per person too and everything we have tasted has been curated beautifully--Lindsey makes incredible drinks. Which brings us to Lindsey. YELPERS, meet Lindsey! If you want an amazing server who will go over and beyond for you, ask to be seated in her section. We may have a girl crush; however, we are willing to share! She has the best recommendations--knows what is freshest for the day, what drinks are trending and also--she is a fellow book nerd which is why we are biased. We adore her and will continue to see her monthly and/or follow her to her next restaurant endeavor. read more
