The Fiorella you see today is still the intimate space you know & love! Chef Marc Vetri and his team bring decades of talent & experience to this special space, creating a truly memorable dining experience. Pasta is the main event at Fiorella, with rotating antipasti and desserts rounding out the menu.

A la carte seating is available both in our indoor dining room and outdoor patio, year round.

Indoor seating is predominantly at our chef's counter, with a few high-top tables outlining the space. Table vs. counter reservations are seated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Patio seating is shaded from sun in summer and insulated with heaters in winter. Due to the nature of outdoor reservations, Fiorella may have to cancel outdoor service for severe weather.

Looking to dine with a larger group or want to try a different taste of Fiorella? Join us upstairs for our Pasta Club chef's selection!

From the whole Fiorella Team, thank you for your continual love and support!

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Fiorella is another Italian hit from acclaimed restauranteur and James Beard Award-winning chef Marc Vetri. Located in a historic butcher shop decked with a striking Venetian glass chandelier, the intimate restaurant serves up stellar seasonal pasta that could include cavatelli with ramps and shrimp. Linger with a glass of wine from the all-Italian list or an innovative cocktail like the dirty pasta water martini.

    We were seated at the counter and were able to watch the food being prepared - fascinating! Reminded me of the TV show The Bear.

    Best pasta in Philly. Great casual yet professional service with very friendly staff. We dined outside on a very cold night, not sure how they stayed so positive. The gnocchi is one of those knee-buckling dishes that keeps you coming back.

    Fiorella has seen my little family take shape and grow. Dozens of visits over the years as they’ve watched our son grow and after dozens of visits, they never fail in making each one a little more special than the last. Special shout to Sloane ❤️

    Don’t believe the hype on this one, don’t waste your money at 125 per person plus drinks and 20% tip absolutely ridiculous, no value for the money. It was the upstairs pasta club Valentine’s Day menu on February 16, but it was still amateur hour. The food was not good. The pasta was chewy and it was just very ordinary when the steak finally came out it was cold.  the whole thing was just too long and boring and drawn out courses were slow to appear - we were still on the appetizers after an hour and 15 minutes. The restaurant was filled with fresh flowers, which seems nice, but it was really overpowering like a funeral parlor. The flowers were too overpowering to smell the food. The people next to us had a similar opinion as they were playing loud music on their phone and FaceTime all their friends saying how boring and slow the meal was - and the worst part of that was that the wait staff did nothing about it. They should have asked them to politely stop FaceTime and being on speakerphone. And ridiculous that the bathroom was inside the kitchen that was disgusting. Mark Vetri knows better than this… has he become so successful he doesn’t care? Or the hype draws diners that don’t care? It was so bad we left early before the courses were finished. And no one cared or asked why.
