Reviews for Fiori D'Italia in Anchorage, AK
Wood everywhere, cabinets full of old bottles and photos, and the classic low bar didn?t disappoint. It likely hasn?t changed... for 30 years, which is just what I wanted. Unfortunately, they broke the cardinal rule of Italian food? the pasta was way overcooked. As a pasta lover, and despite the cool decor, you can?t make up tor that. Oh, and whisky list is bomb! House CabernetSauvignon was not :/ Read more
Once you get a seat it's 5 star experience. The waitstaff are knowledgeable, friendly,and extremely attentive. Phenomenal food... and a mind blowing selection of bourbon and whisk(e)y from around the world. Read more
Authentic Italian food, full bar and delicious tiramisu!
Family and I weren?t greeted, politely waited around the host table for 15 minutes then left. No one waiting around us was... acknowledged during that time either which was a bad sign. The fact the server/hostess avoided eye contact with everyone waitingmade it clear they were all overwhelmed. Restaurant decor was strange as well. Read more
So. If you show up and there is a line. Leave. Food was good - 4 stars Drinks were good - 5 stars Everything else - 2 stars We... (party of 8) showed up at 7:30, got some drinks and stood around the very small entrance with 12+ other people waiting. Third inline we figured this would be a short wait as there were 22+ people on the bar side and only a few (5?) tables seated. We endedup being seated at 10:15pm, two of our party had given up and left. We got food at 11:00pm. We were never put on a list. Theservers walked past us frequently and tried their hardest to ignore us. How 3 servers were so busy with 5 seated tables isbeyond me! When we asked how long the wait would be we were told ?it?s first come first serve? we are very stubborn and stuck itout but in hind site would not have if the staff was honest and told us it would be a 2.5 hour wait! Yikes. Anyways we ended uphappily drunk and starving. Props to the single bar tender working his butt off to supply everyone with drinks and managing allthe bar side orders. You sir are the hero. TLDR: waited 2.5 hours to eat, wait staff had no idea how long it would take. Read more
Everything is made to order here so you do have to wait a little longer but ITS. WORTH. IT. We filled up on bread so ended up... taking some pasta home. The leftovers stored well and I was able to enjoy the flavors again the next day. Read more
This is Italian food and I believe the ?D?? in Fiori D? Italia should stand for Delicious. The feel of this place is classic... dark lit Italian joint with an epic collection of alcohol for that perfect GodFather ambiance. Like any good Italian restaurant,the wait time was long, but I didn?t mark them down because they offered to seat us and serve drinks while we waited to be ableto order food. If you are very hungry and don?t think you?d have fun sitting around a table with family or friends with somedrinks while waiting to order then I?d recommend the Olive Garden. But if you like real Italian food, good cocktails and anatmosphere worth waiting in, you?ll find it to be all that more of an authentic experience. I?d love to give a shout out to ourserver. Although I don?t know her name, she was young and very laid back. She joked around with us and felt more like a friendthan a worker which I personally value in an Italian restaurant because when you?re here, you?re family... nah, that?s someoneelse?s lie, but what is true is when we were there, we were treated like friends and that is even better. To bottomless bread,fantastic food, and wonderful workers! And for recommendations: I?d say all of the cocktails were amazing, just go with youralcohol of choice and they?ll have a delicious cocktail in its suit. Appetizers: We loved the escargot (don?t be afraid, it isactually so good), the calamari and the hand cut mozzarella sticks. Pro Tip: keep the escargot ramekin to dip your breadsticksin the garlic oil with your meal. For the main course: If you are a fan of halibut and creamy sauces then the ?Halibut Fiori? isan absolute must try. Quite possibly the best halibut dish out of many I have ever had (seriously that good). The sweet aspectfrom the almond cream sauce pairs perfectly with the buttery garlic halibut which was cooked to perfection itself. Served withpenne pasta and fresh baked bread, it was absolutely worth the hype. Read more
Really gone down hill since Covid. Ordered Veil Parmesan twice now; both times it was a plate of dripping greasy soggy mess.... Just tastes like cheese and pretty poor quality. Not worth the price. Just go to Little Italy for some decent Italian food andavoid this place. Even Olive garden is a better choice. (To be cleat, not a fake review, this is from a few months ago in theFall; Google prompted me to leave a review.) Read more
