I had an unexpectedly delightful experience at Fiore's Café. It's a typical Italian eatery with a pretty typical Italian menu- but they really impressed me with the attentive service, and well executed dishes. Mussels fra diavolo were in delicious red sauce (not excessively spicy), chicken piccata was pounded thin and tender with plenty of delicious lemony garlicky sauce. And the chocolate mousse cake... wow. That was a really nice surprise... silky semisweet chocolate with delicious raspberry sauce. Generous wine pours certainly add to the experience. One of the better meals I've enjoyed in Ocala. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious we've never had anything we don't absolutely LOVE! We definitely love the atmosphere the restaurant is cozy and the service is always great!! read more

AMAZING place!! I can't say enough great things about this place. The service was superb and even with them being absolutely packed, we didn't feel like we were overlooked or waiting too long. My husband had the lasagna and I had the squid ink pasta - both were phenomenal and I'm now obsessed with their squid ink pasta dish. Any time we go back I 1000% plan to get it every time. We also had tiramisu which was one of the best I've ever had. In addition, their house wine pours are such generous pours We will definitely plan to make this one of our regular date night spots read more

Hidden gem!! Fantastic food and service!!! Homemade New York Cheesecake was outstanding!!! Clean & well kept environment!!! read more

This was my first visit and I had the lobster stuffed ravioli. Normally I don't do ravioli but this had lobster. I had to try it and I wasn't disappointed. It was delicious and the sauce was outstanding. Will I be going back, most definitely! read more

We have been looking for some authentic Italian food and read about Fiore's and decided to try it NYE. The dining room is small but decorated very nicely for the holidays. Our waiter Alan was fantastic. As customers began streaming in it was obvious this restaurant has a lot of repeat business. Lots of hugs and chit chat between customers and staff. We started with mozzarella sticks. They were nice and crunchy not greasy; with a super fresh marinara sauce. We had fiocchi rapera and penne allá vodka. Both entrees were delicious and very fresh tasting. The garlic knots were so good we ordered some to take home. For dessert we had home made cheesecake. Not too sweet with a slight lemon flavor to it. Their prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. We def will be back. read more

Wonderful local restaurant! Food was outstanding (meat sauce was some of the best we have ever had). Veal was very tender and well prepared. Lasagne was absolutely delicious. Portions were very generous. Restaurant staff were VERY friendly and did a wonderful job on follow-up. This restaurant is adorable with numerous paintings on the wall. Tables had excellent spacing so people were not on top of each other. Highly recommend to anyone visiting in Ocala. read more

Awesome pizza friendly staff awesome atmosphere. Can' get very busy and loud but we absolutely love the pizza here.

There were a LOT of servers working banquet-style, so service was quick and there was always someone to flag down when needed. Food was INCREDIBLE. Like, we just went to Italy and this was similarly stellar. We ordered a tortellini and a ravioli, and the sauce, filling, and pasta were all addictive. Garlic rolls were HUGE! Order a half-dozen before you consider ordering a full dozen. (Or go for the dozen. I can't tell you what to do. ) read more

We ordered the Penne a la Vodka (substituted for rigatoni) and Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken, both were delicious and served fresh and hot. It was our first time here and was perfect for date night. Server was very nice and attentive. Only bad thing is the complimentary rolls served were a bit hard, not sure if they were as fresh as the pasta. We will definitely be returning again to try different dishes on the menu. read more

Delicious food and great service. I love the veal cutlet parmigiana. The garlic rolls are so good. I have never been disappointed there. I highly recommend it. read more

Love this restaurant! Great food & nice atmosphere. If you love pizza, try theirs . It is wonderful. I've never had a bad meal at Fiore's!

Pisanos has THE best rolls. Theirs are alright. If you like not super doughy bread with a faint hint of garlic then you'll like fiore. Foods just alright. Chicken parm is the best item to order. Most of the pastas lack that rich flavor, kind of a thinner taste. House salad dressing was just okay as well, nothing close to special about it. Over all this place is okay and just a little pricey but not too bad. Chicken parm is the way to go though everything else just didn't leave me satisfied for a $20 dish( average price) but it's the perfect dish to split they give you a lot of foods worth. Good quantity Okay quality Chicken parm or nothing read more

This pizza is seriously good. The large is huge, and cut in big slices. Pizza is my favorite food, and I've eaten pizza all over the country. Fiore's is worth it. I think you'll love it as much as I did. read more

My wife and I recommend "Fiore's Cafe" located on Pine Avenue. Italian eating at its finest with Italian flair throughout the restaurant. Service and friendly staff to match. Huge portions with many tempting menu choices. This is the best pizza I have had since living here coming from the Chicago area. Pricing was very reasonable. Arrive before 5 pm because this place gets very busy. read more

We went on Saturday with five others. Food came out quickly and hot. Everything was surprisingly delicious! Finally, a decent restaurant in Ocala! Only drawback, no tonic water or diet sprite. read more

Brandon was a great waitperson. The pizza was very good, eggplant parm , spaghetti & garlic knots were very good. Yes, we will come back to try the Antipasto that I'm told is out of this world. read more

What can I say other than the food was excellent and the wait staff was prompt and efficient even though it was very busy. This is a very good restaurant. read more

Fresher than fresh can be. It's amazing what can come out if an old Pizza Hut/Inn these days. I ordered the salmon mezaluna and while they were out of salmon we subbed with Grouper....the freshness of the entire dish was to die for. They also served a Cesar salad with Iceburg. This was the 1st offering of such, but greatly appreciated. Would have given 5 stars but the knots were a bit over cooked. Will definitely return! read more

Have been here several times and usually it is good. Tonight, 4pm, not so much. First it took forever for them to bring water and menus. Then they spent a long time putting tables together for a large group. Took even longer to order. Then the large group came in and all efforts were focused on them. Soup finally came out but they forgot my salad, that I paid extra for. So had to try and get her attention, once again with the big table. Then main food came out and mine had the wrong pasta!! Ate it but pissed. The side of meatballs were cold. She never offered to grate Parmesan on our meals. And never once came back to fill my water glass or ask my mother if she wanted another glass of wine. May not go back. read more

Great service and amazing food at reasonable prices. Decor pleasing with authentic atmosphere

It's good food. Service is excellent. Hard to decide if I like Fiore's or Mesa De Notte better. You really can't go wrong with either one. I think the ambience is better at Fiore's and the food is better at Mesa de Notte. read more

Great food and service, only problem is the seating is very tight and I kept getting bumped by the staff and other customers. But I will be going back because the food. read more

My husband and I went to Fiore's last for a celebration dinner. Upon arriving we were told we would have to wait 15-20 minutes for a table. We understood that and it appeared busy , so we sat at the "bar" and had a glass of wine. We were seated in about 15 min. They brought us a couple of garlic rolls which were delicious! The staff was so unfriendly, we felt as if we weren't welcome! no one ever smiled only acted rushed. The food was fabulous, although we were never asked if we needed more rolls, wine or anything!! It is a very small place and it certainly wasn't romantic as we had hoped. It was very loud. i tried several times to get a waiter or ANYONE to bring our check. FINALLY I WALKED OVER TO A WAITER AND ASKED FOR OUR CHECK! The food was fabulous, the atmosphere very loud, but the service was horrible! That was our first and last time there! read more

Food is delicious and people are pleasant always go for special occasions. Been going to Fiores for 2 yrs now

What a great little find. Homemade pasta's and soups. Pizza is really great too. Come with a healthy appetite or prepare to take something home. Wonderful old style Italian. Can't wait to try that Calzone, but will need to split it 3 ways or take more than half home. read more

Excellent food service and ambiance! Definitely recommend for an outstanding experience!

Absolutely a fabulous restaurant. The food was outstanding. The decor was stunning. We were in a hurry. This restaurant happened to be on our way to our destination. Oh my what a very pleasant surprise. Generous portions. Delicious Italian. The garlic knots are to die for. Service was subperb, prices very fair. Super friendly staff. Ps: Save room for dessert they are very delicious. read more

Incredible. Had some friends recommended after they had my linguine and clams. I usually don't order linguine and clams at a restaurant but I did at Fiores and it was probably the best I've ever had. And the cannoli's - holy cow. 100% will be going back read more

We were trying to avoid traffic on 75 on our way back from Tallahassee and found this awesome little restaurant. The staff is wonderful and the food is delicious. Lovely place read more

The first thing you notice when you walk in is the amazing fragrance of Italian food and fresh flowers on every table. The atmosphere is quiet with a hint of Italian music in the air. The food is by far superior to any I've had in the ocala area. Treat yourself and try Fiore's, you definitely won't regret it. read more

Fiore's Cafe - a kid sitting at a table - Italian Near Me - Ocala, Florida

This is the second time of me and my husband coming there. The food was amazing so we decide to come back for there pizza. The waiter needs to know about customer service. I had to get up and ask him to refill my tea they cater more to the regulars then people coming why? He made his rounds to all the other tables never came to our table. Another lady deliver our pizza again the waiter never came to out table to ask if needed anything. But was fast about out ticket I told my husband do not leave a tip he did nothing for us. I would come again as the food is amazing but I would make sure NOT to be seated in his section( Unless your regular). Customer service is everything. To do that we were the only table no one came over to... read more

We tried Fiore's a few days ago and got takeaway so this review is totally on the food. Garlic knots - best ever, though varied wildly in size. Garlic forward with minced garlic, parsley and parm. Beyond delicious. Pasta Fagioli - good soup, pasta was al dente, white beans, seasoned stock with pancetta or ham in it. Delicious. Antipasto - lovely selection of ham, prosciutto, salami, mozzarella, tomato, artichoke hearts, olives and peppers. Overpriced for the size. Was very fresh. It fell apart with the entrees. Penne and Meatballs - pasta was overcooked. No excuse for that. Meatballs, although tasty, weren't browned but an awful grey color. Not cooked in the sauce either. The sauce was light but very oniony, no real richness to it, just a meh sauce. Not overly garlic though which is better than too much. It was rather insipid though, kind of watered down. Eggplant Parmigiana- very happy to see it was peeled eggplant but sliced very thin and not much flavor. It could have been so good too so that was disappointing. The side of spaghetti was overcooked as well. Tiramisu - tasty but overpriced - $8? It's Ocala, not a city. The price was a bit steep $60 for what I'd call very standard Italian food. Better than Olive Garden but that's not really saying much since all their food is reheated out of cryo-packs. I can't see myself ordering the pasta again but I might try their chicken and veal dishes next time. I'm not giving up quite yet. read more

Just really good food. Service was spot on. You can tell the staff is passionate about the business. Refreshing experience. We are from Indiana and have stopped in both times we have been to Ocala. Added chicken to my pasta and it was tender, moist and cooked perfectly. Will stop in again. read more

Awesome service. Menu selections prompted me to try something new. Luis's favorites are excellent selections. Dessert presentation second only to flavor. read more

So Fiore's moved since the last time we ate there. Now it is located further south on 441 across from the BP. This time the experience was great. I had a generous glass of Zinfandel while I waited for the rest of my guests. The table was charming, with fresh cut flowers. Very nice warm atmosphere. Clean bathrooms. Not what you expect from the outside (which needs a little landscaping!) Food was excellent. I went with plain spaghetti and meatballs. Delicious meatballs and the pasta was perfectly cooked. My daughter had muscles and could not finish them all. Her boyfriend had chicken parmigiana and finished every bite of a very generous portion. Food was well presented and not overly spiced. We would definitely go back. Great for a quiet date night. read more

This was the best Italian food I found in Ocala. The atmosphere is amazing and transformed us back to an Italian restaurant you might find in New York City. The food was fabulous, awesome service. I will definitely recommend this restaurant, and my friends and I will be back to try different dishes. Great little place , great food for the price. Quite a find. read more

A favorite place for dinner. Great pizza, Caesar salads & pasta dishes. Never had a meal we didn't like.

This is our go to Italian restaurant in Ocala. Being Italian and from Boston, the bar is set pretty high. Fiore's is the closest thing in Ocala to quality Italian food! read more
