Reviews
I spent my birthday at Fioretta and everything about this place is absolutely gorgeous. The moody pink interior made for the dreamiest photo backdrop, and the floral wall by the bathrooms is a whole vibe! The service was top-tier. Our server was so warm and treated us with the absolute best care. We brought our own cake, and while they do charge a cake cutting fee, they really make it worth it. They brought it out with a sparkler to celebrate, and when they plated it, they made sure every single slice included a piece of the floral design from the top. It was such a thoughtful detail. You also have to get the tableside Caesar salad. Watching them make it right in front of us was so fun, and it honestly might be one of the best Caesar salads I have ever had. For my main, I got the squid ink pasta and it was amazing. They de-shell the lobster meat for you but still present the shell on the plate, which looked incredible. Everyone in our group loved their food. On top of all that, their payment system is a game changer for big groups. Everyone can just scan and pay for their own items directly on their phones, which made splitting the bill completely stress-free. I loved everything about Fioretta and I already can't wait to go back!
Fioretta is definitely an upper tier class restaurant. This place feels expensive. We were a party of 8 and our service was phenomenal. To start, the warm bread with garlic and oil was absolutely phenomenal couldn’t get enough of it. As to food, I would say their sides and appetizers are 5 stars. The table side Caesar salad absolutely hit, and was easily the best Caesar salad I’ve had ever. Their pastas are strong, made in house. The steak is great, not excellent. You can tell they rush the cooking process as the exteriors are burnt. Some people do enjoy this, I do, but not when it isn’t the temperature I asked for. I asked for medium are and they gave me rare almost damn near blue. The lobster was an absolute let down. Tiny, and beyond salty. If you are getting Oscar style go with the crab. For desserts, the tiramisu and olive oil cake are spectacular. Overall for our bill being as high as it was, I will not be back, but for a one time experience Fioretta was decently cool.
We showed up a bit before our reservation, we sat at the bar to have a drink. The bartenders were very bland and didn't say much of anything except ask for our order. The drinks were decent and tasty. When we were seated at our table it took 30 minutes or more for anyone to even take out drink order. I had to approach the host and assure they remembered we were seated. The Caesar salad was delicious and made in front of our table, this was the best part. We ordered filet mignon and the scallops for entrees, both were good but they weren't anything that I'd say that is a "must have" or anything even similar. The atmosphere is awesome, and the Caesar salad cart is amazing. Being that it felt like we were only treated as another table to serve while they charge prices that portray a very different impression. It was well over $200 for service and food that I can get from any generic steakhouse. I was more impressed by the meals at Al's Beef, cheesecake factory, and even the field museum.
Had the best time at Fioretta! My boyfriend and I spent 36hrs in Chicago and this was the perfect ending to our trip! I booked a table 1-2 weeks in advance and were seated at a high top bar table. The food and drinks were 10/10! We started with a spicy margarita and an old fashioned. The old fashioned had a personalized ice cube with a flower to fit the theme. It was such a curated experience! We had the oysters to start which were delicious! We shared the king crab linguine and the 10oz filet. The linguine was fresh and the steak was cooked to a perfect med-rare. We finished with an espresso martini and were too stuffed for dessert but they brought out a tiramisu with a sparkler to celebrate my bfs birthday. Such a beautiful restaurant! Every moment was so well curated and if we find ourselves in Chicago again this restaurant is a must!
Food was great! We tried the macaroni alla vodka with added meatballs, Kansas City 18oz steak, parm truffle fries & it was really enjoyable. We had tiramisu for dessert and it was deliciously exceptional! Their pear of aces cocktail was also good, but wish it was more presentably cuter. Ambiance is another great thing about this place, it’s pretty lively and loud but you’re still able to have conversations with each other.
