Fiore's Cafe in Ocala - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A very pleasant experience. The staff were super helpful and the food was exquisite!!

This is the first time we went to Fiore's cafe. We all thought the food was great, love the atmosphere and the service was perfect. We will be back.

Great service and food. The bread was awesome. We had a great time while we were there. Go early or be prepared to wait in line. 5-5:30 is best.

It's some of the best Italian food I've ever had! The chicken Parmigiana was petro ⛽️, I definitely eat here a million times if I could!

Best Italian food in Ocala, bar none!!!

Great place. Great food. Service was amazing. Wasn't expanding the atmosphere. But was great

We drive 2 hours to enjoy dinner here.

Love this place. Great people and amazing food. Nothing more needs to be said, now go eat.

We love this place! The food is delicious and such a cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Fate gave me the opportunity to stop in and she didn't disappoint. Huge choice of house wines by the glass. Attention from every staff member. Traditional faire, plus some house specialties. I hope to try the pizza one day. May the fates be forever in our favor!

I have tried so many dishes here and never dissatisfied!... great place...I recommend to everyone

My husband recently discovered this place. I took me there for dinner after work. What a pleasant surprise! The food was amazing 👏 😋

One of the best Italian restaurants in the area

The atmosphere is very nice. The noise level is way too high, you have to yell to the person next to you. food was just ok. prices are good

Great little place with friendly staff. The meal was terrible.

This is our to-go place in Ocala when we're looking for Italian cuisine. The facility is clean and beautifully set up. I often feel like I'm underdressed when I come in to the facility. The staff are always friendly, eager to help and truly make the dining experience an event. The food is plenty servings are large and if you go I recommend the chicken parmesan!

We absolutely loved Paty!!! She’s super sweet and paid attention to all of our needs. The food was amazing. Her service was 10/10! Highly recommend

I would best describe this restaurant as an "oyster" the outside leaves nothing to desire. But, once inside, you are transported to a beautiful dining room with exceptional Italian food. Yum!!! We would have liked for the staff to check on us a bit more, but in reality, we will keep going back for their delicious food. In addition, we are tremendously grateful for taking our party of 9, 45 minutes before closing because we wanted our family to try their food before leaving Ocala, as we didn't plan our time well.

This place you must try, it was phenomenal. You will definitely enjoy 😉

Great food at a reasonable price, we will be back!

Food came out looking plentiful and piping hot .. delicious

Great traditional Italian food.

My favorites...Mesaluna and Pizza😋

The chicken piccata was outstanding!

Great food, service and atmosphere.

I had eggplant parmasean. Sauce was sweet eggplant was ok.Really didn't like at all. Mussels were just bad. First time and last.

Was enjoying the salad and wine when staff member noticed I had a gift to open. I was there the day after my birthday. A free tiramisu with spoons was sent over. I loved the experience. Attention to detail, down to fresh flowers, makes this a memorable experience.

The best I've ever had in home town! Hospitality was off the charts!

BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN OCALA

We are new to the area and stopped in for dinner after hearing from a neighbor that this is their favorite Ocala restaurant. We were very impressed with the service and the food! The atmosphere was wonderful! We have traveled to Italy and we love authentic Italian cuisine! Fiore's did not disappoint!

Absolutely terrific Italian food. Great to find classic Italian here in Florida. Comfortable seats and well appointed table. Started with garlic rolls which were delicious, perini beer, and friendly service.

Wonderful ambiance! Excellent service, delish food! Highly recommend.

Wow wow wow! This place was amazing! From the elegance of the room to the music and dim lights! And what can I say about ur the food delicious! My family and I enjoyed evening there! We didn’t get to dessert but seen a few Cheescake and Tiramisu they looked delicious but we were full! Will definitely get next time and will be returning!

Update 2: Back again. This time the Osso Buco was pork. Still excellent but not traditional veal. DW had the eggplant parm which she liked very much. Update: Returned a 3rd time to experience their Osso Buco special. Hands down the best I have had in the Ocala area. The veal was fork tender, wine sauce flavorful and the risotto was cream. All served steaming hot. Our 2nd time here and once again not disappointed. Had the Flounder/risotto special, fagioli and split a “terrible sue”.

Why haven't I been eating here? It was a Wonder experience. Dinner wad delicious. The staff were all amazing, friendly, and professional. We had the Supreme pizza and it was humongous and delicious. We will Definitely be back to try an entree. I was thrilled with my evening. Thank you Fiores for a wonderful dining experience

This is a hidden gem. Spanish helps and chief cooking Italian tremendously. I love their Pollo Frances, but I heard that their sauce is to die for, especially Chicken Parmesan. They have dessert but I haven't tasted it. If it's anything like their food, it should be good. I would definitely go back.

A friend recommended Fiore's so my wife and I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is very loud. The tables are close together and it's difficult to talk to people across the table, unless you just yell like everyone else seemed to do. The service was far from attentive. After being seated, our server walked by our table about fifteen times, never acknowledging us until finally stopping to take our drink order. We ordered an appetizer and said we would order our entree when the appetizer arrived. The appetizer arrived, we ate it, and waited about fifteen minutes before our server returned to take our order. The food was hit and miss. Firstly, if the owners are reading this, please install a water filter system, or change the filter if you have one. The water and the tea both tasted exactly like Ocala tap water, chlorine and all. Completely undrinkable. We had the calamari as an appetizer. It had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. The breading wasn't seasoned at all. The tomato sauce also had zero flavor. Very, very disappointing. The Caesar salads were about average, but didn't have very much parmesan. They were, in no way, shape, or form, worth the $4.95 up-charge--each. My wife had shrimp alfredo and I had chicken rollatini with risotto. Both were excellent. In fact, my entree was one of the best Italian dishes I've ever eaten. Both entrees were well-seasoned and arrived to the table piping hot. We each ordered a slice of cheesecake to go. We should have eaten them at the restaurant so that we could have returned them after the first bite and gotten our money back. They were absolute mush and among the worst pieces of cheesecake I've ever had. After one bite, they went into the garbage. Overall, we felt that the bad outweighed the good and we would not return. The restaurant charges premium prices ($105 before tip with no alcoholic drinks) but does not deliver food or service commensurate with those prices.

My most favorite Italian restaurant in Ocala. I have gone many times and have never been disappointed

Great food, good service the restaurant is a little small

I moved to Florida 8 months ago. I was really missing my NY pizza and Italian restaurants. I tried a few places and was not happy. We took our family here for Easter dinner and everything was outstanding… the food & service was excellent. Wish we found this place months ago. The We ordered a pizza as an appetizer and it tasted just like it does in NY 😋 and all the main dishes were delicious… chicken parm, chicken Marsala, Osso Buco, fettuccine Alfredo, ravioli & veal. Oh and the artichoke franchise was like nothing I’ve ever had before. I highly recommend this place and will be back multiple times.

This is my favorite restaurant. I eat here twice a week, so worth it

I had Veal Saltimbocca that was delicious along with perfectly cooked pasta. The service was pleasant and prompt. Definitely better than most restaurants in Ocala.

Very neat place to go. Great food, great service and wonderful ambicien. Too bad they are not open for lunch as the sign states.

I’ve been here a handful of times now and I’m obsessed!! I started recommending it after the first visit. My favorite dish is the Capellini Dilore, though everything I’ve tasted there has been great. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, you can throw on a nice outfit or just dress casual and bring the kids. Staple spot!

Love the ambience, staff, food! You will love it too!

I had a very delicious breakfast very fair prices for Miami fun environment with great friendly service . Why would you not want to go there ?

Very good pizza The first one I got but the second one was much thicker indifferent also pepperoni was underneath the cheese on the second one not so good

Whatever you do, don’t sleep on Fiores. From the service to the food to the ambiance, it checked all the boxes. Top tier tiramisu to boot.

One of the best Italian food we’ve had, we are from Miami, have been to lots of Italian restaurants, and this one is superb. Excellent service as well. Come try this place!!!

The bolognase sauce is not bolognase, just red sauce with some ground beef in it. You can make it at home with prego. It tastes the same and will save you about $16.00.

I would put it in the top three Italian restaurants in the Ocala area. Food was fantastic. Chicken piccata, veal francaise and mussels diavolo. All of it was terrific! Also the best garlic knots I’ve ever eaten. Atmosphere was okay. A bit noisy and it would be great to have more space. I could definitely see them expanding or moving to a bigger location.

Great customer service. And the food was delicious 😋🤤. 100% recommended. Yummy yummy, Going back again. 🤠👍

Pizza and lasagna was great also the staff. Good prices

I’m pregnant and have been craving a nice not dried out chicken parmigiana. I was recommended here by a lot of people, THIS PLACE DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Definitely going back, I loved how small it was, you hear nothing but family and friends chattering. Beautiful place

Delicious food and cozy atmosphere. There is passion and live fueling this restaurant's dishes, the quality of ingredients is superb. The taste of the food is amazing and I whole-heartedly recommend visiting this restaurant if in Ocala. I happened to be visiting and swing by to dine in and was surprised of the all-around quality of the restaurant. Congrats to the owners/establishment and I hope ya'll continue to do well!

Great place to eat the service was very good and the food was very tasty

Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, excellent food, a restaurant that is not part of some huge corporate conglomerate and seems to make their food fresh daily. I love this place. The lasagna is so good, the bread is fresh. What else could you want?

First time here. Food and service were excellent. Had spaghetti and meatballs (5 total!), baked ziti, and pasta puttanesca. Large portions. Yummy red sauce.

Best Italian restaurant in the area. Love it. Service is Too notch.

Loved this restraunt! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Generous pprs on the wine and the food was fantastic. Large portions, complimentary garlic bread, and the atmosphere was nice and clean. Our waiter was on top of it! One if the best Italian restraunts I have experienced.

Lasagna & mussels delicious. Fried calamari was to big, rubbery and had zero flavor.

Fabulous find! Had a great dinner with friends while in town recently. Excellent atmosphere, service, and food. Did not try the pizza, but hear that it's also fabulous! Plan to try it next time as I will be back!

Prices are worth the service, quality and quantity

The whole atmosphere was very good. Our waitress Idela was amazing. Will definitely be back

Cielo was amazing food was great!

For years this has been this Italians favorite go to Italian restaurant. This is not a chain...this is like going to Nonna's for dinner. Superb is an understatement. Everything is amazing. My favorite is Luis favorite chicken but tonight I tired the Fiocchi repare. Little purses of tender pasta filled with cheese and roasted pears in a truffle butter sauce and covered in crispy fried prosciutto. This was heaven on a plate. The juxtaposition of sweet and savory, creamy and crispy was unreal. Delicioso y fabulous. I would put this restaurant up against any in my home state of NY and my Nonna would approve

The pizza and rolls are the best in town. I don't like being forced to tip, and it is very loud in there.

Their pizza is excellent!!! We’ve eaten dinner here and the food was really good. I will definitely be back again. Prices are a bit high but worth the money spent.

It was wonderful. Very noisy but the food was great. Suggest you make a reservation as the wait at the door was long. Lots of Italian restaurants in Ocala but this is one of the best by far.

The mussels were great & the pizza maybe the best I have eaten in a long time. We will hurry back!

The food, atmosphere and service were excellent..best Fettuccini I have had in a long time. Bravo to the chef..great family from el Salvador own it. Gracias

Great restaurant to dress up a little. Food was served hot and delicious. Waitstaff was attentive. On the smaller side, so it gets noisy.

Uninspiring... Our 18" pizza had no cheese within a couple inches from the edge and no sauce at all, resulting in a very dry and bland experience. When inquiring with the waiter about this, he explained that the cheese collects in the middle. I pointed to another pizza that others in our party had and it had cheese --- lots of it at that --- overflowing at the edge. At this point he just walked away. Lackluster food and piss-poor service, I doubt I'll return after this sour first impression.

The food was fabulous! I had the penne with vodka sauce, and my husband had the salmon marsala. 😍. The service was perfect… The atmosphere is boisterous (not a quiet place 🤪)

Great Italian cuisine! I'm sharing a personal review on Bridgette C. Pace on fb.

I love this place. It’s such a cute place in town to go eat. Their food was pretty nice there, but just a bit crowded for New Year’s. I would go back.

Unassuming from the outside, this little Italian restaurant has great pizza and delicious entrees. The atmosphere is classy and perfect for a romantic night out or whenever you want superb pizza. Seems like it’s only open for dinner which is unfortunate because I will be craving this.

There is an old adage that hot things should be served hot. The linguine puttanesca was just that and not overly spicy. Garlic knots as good as I have ever had. The Cannoli was scrumptious. Service was attentive but not overly so. Definitely will return next time I am in the Ocala area The place. Would recommend reservations during the prime evening dinner hours since it does get crowded. They also appear to do a good take out pizza business.

4.5 stars. This was honestly quite a great restaurant. My wife and I went here for my birthday and we were both well pleased. Everyone is nice and attentive. There is a pretty dining area with soft lighting. First thing we tried was garlic knots - which garlic knots and salad come with every entree. The garlic rolls were possibly the best I have tried, cooked to perfection with the yeast having risen correctly. Great blend of basil and garlic flavors. They gave us another batch for free with our meal. Their house salad came up next. That was quite pleasing and reminded me quite a lot of another restaurant's salad that I love. I got Luis's Favorite Chicken and would recommend it. I was impressed with the attention to detail I saw throughout the dishes. The chicken was again, like everything else, cooked to perfection. It was a lot of food but it did not stay on the plate long. Good stuff. Would go again when in the area. Highly recommended 👍

Amazing food and superior service! Highly recommend!

Perfect pasta and much more! Linguini with clam sauce is outstanding (authentically prepared)! Worthy of return visits!

Beautiful space, customer service & food! They are professional & kind. You have to try the pear pasta!

Great food, great service, just a little loud.

My go to restauraunt. I go 2x per month. The flounder special is out of this world.

We have been here on three seperate occasions so far & have been thrilled with the different dishes we have tried on each trip! What a hidden gem! Service is always top notch!

Outstanding everything!!! Good brought out hot and delicious..very caring place..delicious

Delicious food and festive atmosphere. We’ll be back soon. That’s Amore

Poor customer service. Tables are very close to each other. Even when they are not busy at all, they will seat you right by an occupied table! And they are very stingy with the bread and sauces. Bye bye.

Wow. I’ve been visiting Ocala since 2018 and just now discovered Fiore’s. I’ve been seriously missing out. Our meal was stellar in every way!!

First time there it's smaller than I expected.

Been coming down to Ocala for well over 30 years. Recently became locals. 9 attempts around town trying to find back home New Haven/North Haven Connecticut Italian, If you know, you know. Coming from the best Italian Imports, best Italian dinners, and pizza capital of the world. FINALLY found the real deal with Fiore's. Not even just Florida good, back home damn good. Complimented them so much, everything and everyone on staff was outstanding. Out came a true homemade Tiramisu to die for. Fiore's has a new customer for life. We will see you again!

The food is very good but the portions are way too large for a normal person. Service is good. Overpriced wines.

Not a big wine selection but the food has been extremely good each time we've been. They don't take reservations so we always plan on getting there early, 5 seems to be a good time.

It was my first time and as Italian/ American I usually don’t go to Italian restaurants. I had veal Marsala and the veal was tender and the sauce was smooth and seasoned to my liking. It was a great experience and enjoyed the flowers on the table. I’ll be back. Thank you for a delicious meal.

Loud inside, but food was quality italian.

Everything about my meal was wrong. The garlic knot was burnt. I ordered a salad with no onions. It came out with onions. I ordered stuffed shells with light sauce and got manicotti with heavy sauce which I did not want. If they would have said that upfront, I would have ordered something else. Service was non existent. When I was finally asked how it was and I said no good, the waitress walked away. The next surprise was a service fee added to the bill. Non-existent service and the untold illegal service fee along with your decision to change my meal without asking caused a lack of tip, a bad review, and a customer. An apology would have gone a long way.

An elegant Italian restaurant. Top shelf service, very formal setting. Great food, extensive menu selections.Fiore’s

most amazing Italian food and service I've ever had!don't let the humble outside of this place fool you very amazing atmosphere inside,a true hidden gem in ocala!my new go to restaurant for Italian!

Placed a to go order over the phone for a pasta dish and received the wrong pasta dish. Now I’m out $25.00. I will not be returning because there was too much money wasted. I drove 28 minutes for food I didn’t even eat.

This place is the bomb been here about 4-5 times the chicken Luis excellent along with the Eggplant service Great . Been coming back to this establishment sine my Dad was sick in the hospital in January. Wish that they would open a business in North Carolina we would be eating there every week..
