Interior felt kind of quiet but there's a slight buzz. I've seen many families dine here with their children. Family friendly restaurant. There are booster seats available. Margarita pizza: So good, the marina sauce was rich, flavorful and light on the pizza. Cheese was light and gooey to the touch. The crust didn't fall down. Calamari: Breading was crispy and light in batter. Calamari was more bouncy than soft. Tip: If you want to dine indoors around 5-6 PM there is option to sign yourself up on the yelp waitlist on your phone before arriving here. However wait time to get seated took about 10 mins tops. I think if you want to sit in the outdoor patio you might need to call in for a reservation.
A while back, my family & I came here to celebrate my mom's birthday. We really enjoyed the food. The complimentary bread w/ the vinegar dipping sauce is delicious! Everything we ordered was well-made & flavorful. My main criticism is the service on busier days. The food can take quite a while to come out. The staff is kind, but could be slightly more attentive on busier days, as it can be harder to flag them down for help. I've also ordered takeout a few times & they're more timely, usually having it ready within 30 minutes. The dining area has a nice atmosphere, clean modern look but the bathrooms don't match quite match. Being a lady, I personally prefer a cleaner bathroom however it is accessible & that's all you really need for a restaurant. Overall, I'd recommend the food, especially the bread & dipping sauce.
Korean-Italian fusion food is bomb! Located inside the source on the top floor with a nice balcony for a nice view of the blue sky. The interior design is a vibe and very modern. I like how they implemented marble to some of their furniture like the bar table and the pillars. We got two pasta, wine, and free complimentary bread. Yeah, I know it's very carby, but the flavor profile is all there. The Rose pasta was my favorite because it had a nice touch of creaminess and savoriness. The bread that kinda looks like a Naan is fluffy and soft on to chew on. Doesn't hurt your jaw like most crispy bread. The wine was okay, I forgot the brand, but it was too dry and not bold enough for our palate. Still a good cleanse for each bite of the noodles. If you got a date night, or wanna take your family here, It's totally worth it! My girl and I had a good time vibing and munching, lol.
You be caught off guard seeing an Italian Restaurant in the Source, but don't be mistaken as their food is delicious. I will say to some their portions may be on the smaller side, but to me their portions are just the right size. They have both inside and outdoor seating which both are comfortable. Their employees are helpful and are always present if you are in need of assistance.
Came here for lunch for the first time and loved this place! Great spot for Italian! We got their calamari, cheese pizza, shrimp rose pasta, funghi pizza, and chicken Alfredo! Their shrimp rose pasta and funghi pizza was our favorite! Place is nice and clean and workers are very professional! It is a little pricey though! Great place to eat here in the source!
Beautifully decorated Italian place in the center for the Source Mall! We were sad that they didn't have their Seafood Salad when we went, but all of the other dishes were very rich and delicious. My favorite was the funghi pizza! Portions are moderately sized, and the bread is a nice flatbread style.
I'm a big pan of a pizza dough that has a nice, chewy texture. And I love pink sauces for my pastas. This place does them both for me! Il Fiora is on the top floor at the Source Mall. They have a beautiful outside seating and pretty indoor seating. I usually see people reserving the outside area for a special event (bridal shower, graduation party, etc.). My all-time favorite items to get here are the Gamberetto Rosa/Shrimp Pasta, Carbonara, and Funghi Pizza. When you order an entree, you get their complimentary fluffy, airy bread which is the same dough used for their pizzas. I've also tried the Il Fiora Cioppino, Gorgonzola Pizza (which comes with honey), Spicy & Honey Pizza (has pepperoni, jalapeño, and honey) and the Bistecca Di Controfiolletto (USDA Prime Rib-eye). Service here is great! You order through their tablet, or if assistance is needed, a server helps take the order. When you're craving a rose (pink sauce) pasta in the OC area, and want to walk around and sightsee/shop, this place is the spot!
WOW. I AM SPEECHLESS. THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE! Although I'm not from around here, some of my colleagues are locals and were looking to have a little work gathering with pasta. Food: 5/5 I just want to say I am NOT a pasta girl, so keep that in mind. I tried the carbonara with shrimp, and oh my goodness. It was truly fantastic! The sauce was rich, the noodles were cooked to perfection, and that homemade bread! Oh my goodness! It was a 10. Service: 5/5 The staff is incredibly friendly, the ambiance is lovely, and I definitely intend to return. All around: I give this place a solid 10. The only con would be finding the place, LOL. It's on the third floor and it can be a bit confusing. However-After the small workout, the pasta ends up being guilt free!!!!
Second time at Il Fiora in Buena Park, and we came back for one reason--the carbonara. It's surprisingly hard to find a spot that serves it with the egg yolk on top, so having a place nearby that does it right keeps us coming back. Still just as good as we remembered. We also shared a margherita pizza, which was delicious, and ended up with plenty of leftovers (always a win). Paired everything with a nice Pinot Noir, and it made for a great meal overall. We did come pretty close to closing time, so service wasn't quite as strong as the first visit--but it also wasn't very busy, so it seemed like they were just wrapping up for the night. Nothing that would stop us from coming back though. The food definitely holds up, and we'll be back again.
Came here for a girls' night and it ended up being such a sweet, cozy experience. We were seated by a window which gave the whole evening a whimsical, slightly romantic vibe -- perfect for catching up with friends. We ordered the Gorgonzola pizza, Pomodoro pasta, and garlic mushroom risotto to share. The pizza was beautifully balanced with the richness of the cheese and a light drizzle of warm honey that tied everything together. The Pomodoro pasta was generously mixed with seafood and the noodles were perfectly al dente. The garlic risotto was creamy and comforting, loaded with mushrooms and plenty of garlic flavor. Service was warm and attentive without hovering -- they checked in just enough while still letting us enjoy our conversation. Great food, thoughtful service, and a cozy ambiance made it a really lovely night. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for another dinner with friends.
Restaurant is located on the 4th floor. Parking garage is free but was busy at 6:30pm on a Friday night No wait for 4 people Server was super sweet but she wasn't super attentive but she also had many tables to serve so I felt bad for her and wasn't her fault. We had to wave her doe multiple times for refills of our drinks, she forgot our Parmesan cheese too Food came out relatively fast Food was 4/5 stars. Pizzas were medium sized. Nothing special. Crusts were thin. Pastas were flavorful. They didn't have ravioli bolognese or the other red sauce available. Ambiance inside and outside was really nice and new and modern and clean I probably wouldn't come back here
Overall, the food here curbs your appetite if you're craving Italian food. The interior is bright and modern, but it's ironic how the food is served on plastic plates for a "nicer" restaurant. After getting seated, the hostess forgot to provide the menus, so we had to grab the menu ourselves. The menu offers standard dishes from pastas to ravioli. The crust from our margherita pizza was a bit dry but overall still decent tasting. The pasta was slightly overcooked but the mushrooms were tasty. If you're looking for a dining experience with a beautiful interior, this is a decent place to visit. Food quality and service could improve though.
What a beautifully esthetic spot for lunch or a romantic spot for dinner! Italian/Korean pastas and pizzas that had us satisfied to hearts content. Hot bread with olive oil and vinegar to start the meal. Service was quick and helpful when we went for lunch on a Saturday. read more

This a cute Italian-Korean restaurant located in The Source! We came at around 7pm on a Friday and got seated right away. They have a lot of seating both inside and on the outside patio. Service was very attentive and friendly. The meal starts with complimentary bread that is similar to pita bread served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We ordered a caesar salad, shrimp rose pasta, and bolognese. The shrimp rose pasta was our favorite with such a creamy and flavorful sauce and perfectly cooked shrimp, and we could see why it's popular here! We thought the bolognese sauce was really sweet, which was unexpected, and that dish ended up being our least favorite. read more
This is a cute little restaurant. We got seated quickly on a Saturday brunch/lunch time. They were incredibly kind to our toddler as well though he made a huge mess! The food was good and easily shareable. I thought the portions sizes were fair as well. The arugula smoked salmon salad was lovely and a great shareable dish. The funghi pizza was also yummy but I wish the crust was a tad more crunchy. The lemon butter shrimp was probably my favorite thing since it was the most favorable. The calamari was standard~ The free bread the beginning was piping hot and great! Just fyi... The bathroom doesn't have a changing table or any surface to change babies. read more

This place has always been on my list of places I want to try. My boyfriend and I decided to celebrate Valentine's Day early last weekend and he picked this place to take me and I couldn't have been more satisfied. Upon arrival, we were adding our names to the waitlist on their tablet and right as we finished entering in our info, a staff approached us and was able to seat us right away. It was definitely busy for a Saturday night so they asked if we were okay sitting outside on their patio. I didn't mind and thank goodness they had their heaters out because I always get cold lol. Once we were seated it didn't take too long for a server to approach us. They brought us water and let us know bread would be out soon. Who doesn't love complimentary bread?! Of course we had to order their fried calamari as our starter. All their pastas sounded delicious but we went with their Shrimp rose pasta and their il flora cioppino. Fried calamari: I've been to places where their fried calamari is mostly batter. The fried calamari was good and you can definitely taste the squid and it had the perfect crunch. I wish it was a bigger portion. Il Fiora Cioppino: Spaghetti, Mussels, Shrimp, Clams, Scallops, Calamari in a Spicy Tomato Sauce. THIS WAS SOOOOOO GOOD. First time having a pasta dish like this. The sauce was delicious. I was very tempted to ask if I could take the rest of the sauce home so I could make more pasta with it haha. Shrimp rose pasta: Also delicious and creamy. I feel like you can't go wrong with ordering this dish. Staff: sad I don't get our servers name but he was nice and friendly and checked up on us multiple times to make sure we were doing okay. Whoever was our server around 7:30-8:30pm, thank you!! It's definitely a nice, cute place to go on a little date on. Will definitely be coming back for their pastas! read more
Been seeing this place for a while and finally tried it. We got the funghi pizza, shrimp rose pasta, and truffle gnocchi. Both pastas were delicious, the sauces were rich, creamy, buttery, and full of flavor. If you like mushrooms, I definitely recommend the truffle gnocchi. The pizza was also good, a solid, classic choice. Our waiter was amazing, we ordered a dessert slightly after last call for a birthday and he hustled to make it happen, and then joined our little gossip session for a bit. Definitely a fun night with great food. I would love to come again on a nice day to sit on the porch and enjoy! read more
We were seated pretty quickly and ordered right away since they gave our table a tablet to order with. The space was clean and bright. The wait staff were all friendly and nice, with frequent service. Their food is best described as Italian food with Korean influence. The insalata di funghi was good, but we had a random shrimp tail in our dish. We are not allergic, thank goodness. The staff made sure we were okay and apologized, offering us on the house. They asked if we would like a new salad but we were fine eating the same dish. The truffle gnocchi is a new dish and it was delicious. Light crisp outside and gooey gnocchi insides. A bit pricey but probably the best gnocchi I've had. Overall a happy lunch experience. I'd go back! read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now. It was advertised as Korean-Italian fare. TBH I didn't really feel the Korean influence. I was served "bread" which resembled more like a pita than a sourdough bread. I then ordered the popular shrimp rose pasta. Shrimp was fresh, the sauce creamy and very garlicky. Portion is just right that I didn't need a doggy bag. The price is reasonable at $23. This is a nice place for families, friends and sharing. Their menu also included pizza, cioppino , and a few entree meal. They have also a good selection of cocktails and beverages. I only wish they were more diligent at refilling my water. read more
Located on the top floor of The Source plaza, with free parking in the structure. Pretty ambience and great attentive service. It's a great clean Italian /Korean fusion spot with yummy pasta and pizza. First thing they give is the compliment fresh pita(?) bread for the table, with vinegar and oil. It's good! It's also similar or same as the crusts of their pizzas. Shrimp Rose pasta and Fungi mushroom truffle mozarella pizza were both delicious- order them! read more

I came here about 2 weeks ago during the storm while it was pouring out. We were beginning to get hungry but the food ended up getting served fairly quickly. We ordered a salad, the rose pasta, funghi pizza, risotto, and some ravioli. While I was eating it, I thought it was decent. I enjoyed the vibe while sitting by the window watching the rain fall. Mushroom pizza ended up being good, but the rest of the stuff was alright. It's one of those places I probably won't try again. On the plus side, the staff was really nice and the food comes out quick! read more
Food: shrimp rose pasta was delicious. Both kids enjoyed it. Spaghetti with meatball, sauce was good but the meatball was bland. We also ordered the margarita pizza. I thought it was okay. The pizza is thin crust which I like but it could have been crispy. Service: the staff was friendly and came back occasionally to see if we needed anything. Atmosphere: the restaurant is nice, clean and chic. read more
Beautiful venue. Their dishes are always delicious (you can't go wrong with any selection, really). Affordable Italian dining. One star off this visit because the service was a bit off. They had one dessert selection, and said there were no candles for celebrations. Bummer, because last time they had a menu full of desserts. Other than that, their food always delivers. The bread they serve you is so simple, yet so good. Our favorite pasta always is the Rose pasta. We also tried their chicken fettuccine, and it was so good as well. I am convinced that every single one of their dishes are great, and flavorful. Service is usually much better, so I will guess it was just an off evening. I sure hope they bring back their dessert menu. But I will always return just for their pasta and pizza. read more
Interesting spot for an Italian restaurant. Located on the top (4th) floor of The Source, it stands out among the many Korean restaurants nearby. Our group of 4 came for lunch around 1:30pm on a Friday, and the place was nearly empty. The space feels modern and upscale, and service was attentive. Our waiter checked in often and refilled waters, and the food came out quickly. We ordered family style: calamari, di mare pomodoro, garlic pancetta risotto, and the fungi pizza. Prices were high, with most dishes over $20. After reading other reviews before coming in, I found that the food did not have the Korean flavors or influence some had suggested. - Bread (complementary): Made from pizza dough, which was a unique. It came out warm, fluffy, and slightly chewy, and we appreciated the free refills with oil and vinegar. - Calamari: The thick-cut rings were tender rather than chewy, with a light, crisp breading. It was well fried but fairly plain in flavor and didn't come with tentacles, just rings. - Di mare pomodoro: It's a spaghetti with mussels, shrimp, scallops, and calamari in a tomato sauce. The sauce was acidic and tangy, which complemented the seafood, but it tasted fairly basic. The seafood itself was cooked well, though portions were small. There were only three shrimps in the entire plate. - Garlic Panceta risotto: The fan favorite of the table! It was rich and creamy with a deep, savory flavor. But everything was finely blended, giving it a uniform texture that I didn't care for. It also felt heavy after a few bites. - Funghi pizza: The crust was as fluffy and chewy as the bread. Tasted very earthy and mushroom-forward. Some of the mushrooms were burnt too. While the menu listed that it had truffle oil, the flavor didn't come through. Overall, it lacked balance and depth. Overall, the food didn't quite match the upscale setting or price point. It was decent, but not memorable. If you are already at The Source and want a convenient Italian option, it works, but there are better and more reasonably priced spots elsewhere. read more
their margarita pizza is BOMB. SO GOOD. Their pasta is good, it's decent. the service is a little slow (maybe they were short staffed, maybe we just sit in a corner so it's harder for us to get someone's attention). their cocktails are pretty good as well. the atmosphere is quite casually romantic. it's not something you have to dress up for, but it's nice enough to bring someone here for a date or just a nice friend date read more

Good Korean staple with great options. You know if fusion spot is good if you see folks from the native culture filling it this place has that the pastas are flavorful, and a good representation of Italian in Korean flavors. The portion size is also good for the price that you're paying the service is pretty standard in the area and better than most of the restaurants that you would find in the mall. There is some outdoor seating available that overlooks the third story of them all or you can sit in the vast indoor space. It can also accommodate larger parties if that's what you're looking for in terms of hosting. read more

Yelp reviews were spot on. A little tricky to find as it's in an outdoor shopping mall, top floor. Went early(5:30ish) since I've been traveling all day. Bread w/ oil & vinegar... light and very tasty Had the Shrimp Rose which was absolutely delicious. Had a strawberry lemonade to drink. Probably the best I've had anywhere... refilled for free. Really didn't have room for dessert, but the strawberry sorbet was just too good to pass up. Service was excellent as well. Attentive, but not intrusive... Korean Italian is an interesting take, but it absolutely works. read more
My friends and I had a reservation here but they still took a while to seat us. After seating us, they brought water for half the table then didn't bring the rest until maybe 15 minutes later when we asked again. Not sure if they were understaffed but we only saw two other tables eating at the same time as us so I'm not sure what the hold up was. Food wasn't bad but I wouldn't say it was worth the wait. The pasta servings were also smaller than expected read more

Got the shrimp rose pasta - sauce is yummy Mushroom pasta with chicken - overall was okay! Tbh if I'm craving pasta, this wouldn't be my first spot to go to. The service and everything was great. Clean and easy ordering system. No wait. But I wasn't wowed by anything. Kind of pricey for this caliber of food. Would rather go to other spots in the plaza! read more

Upscale Italian restaurant in the Source mall. Nightclub atmosphere with mood lighting and dance music There is a kids menu if you ask for it, including kids spaghetti and pizza. High quality pasta offerings including ravioli, gnocchi, and spaghetti with clams, mushroom, and salami. Large selection of wines and ice cream to complement the meal. read more
I got their Di Mare Pomodoro (pasta) and Funghi (pizza). Their Pomodoro portion used to be pretty great in terms of being able to share it with 2 people. But now it seems, every time I come visit, the portions become smaller and the price either stays the same or goes up. Regardless, the taste is consistent and I'd say the Pomodoro pasta is the best choice. I tried their Funghi pizza and it was disappointing; there was barely any mushrooms and too much cheese. I've tried a couple of their items in the past and the ones that gave me a solid impression were the Di Mare Pomodoro pasta, Margherita Pizza, and one of their salads. I love the service here. They're always helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Most of them are also fluent in Korean if you prefer to speak Korean. The ambiance inside is pretty and clean. I've never been out on their outdoor patio because of the weather but it looks quite nice as well. read more
Il Fiora, you beautiful, confused soul. I've dined here a couple times now, and honestly? It's giving culinary identity crisis with a side of "where's my server?" My first visit - gave me enough hope to return for: The shrimp rosé pasta? Chef's kiss. The funghi salad? Earthy, delicious, and made me feel like I was one with the forest. Sure, there was a minor snafu with the waitlist -- somehow a party of 4 leapfrogged over my party of 2 (math is hard, I guess?). But they handed us free bread with olive oil and balsamic like a peace offering, so I let it slide. Carbs heal all wounds. My second visit - gave this place too much credit: We returned with high hopes and empty stomachs... and left with mild irritation and several unresolved cravings. The iPad ordering system might be efficient in theory, but in practice? It's like playing restaurant roulette. Our funghi pizza arrived sad, bland, and mushroom-less in spirit. I requested chili oil and crushed red pepper multiple times -- apparently they had entered witness protection. The bolognese was a crime against Bologna -- sweet, confused, and possibly mistaking itself for a dessert sauce. Worst of all, the funghi salad never even made it to our table. After three attempts to summon a server (two were ghost sightings, one may have been a mirage), we just gave up and canceled it. The Verdict Il Fiora is like that really pretty person on a dating app who just can't commit. Gorgeous ambiance, Insta-worthy vibes, and a menu with potential... but the service? Missing in action. If they can get their act together, it could be a total gem. Until then, come for the views and vibes -- just don't come too hungry, or you might leave with more sass than satisfaction. read more

Food is ok at best, nothing to rave about. Prices are pretty decent for what's offered and the drinks are pretty good. Not the worst Italian restaurant I've been to but far from the best. Ambiance is good for date nights. read more
