IL Fiorista is a true gem in the city. We’ve been four times now, and every visit has been consistently excellent. The food is always fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, with thoughtful portions that leave you satisfied but never stuffed. They’re also incredibly accommodating with dietary requests, which is always appreciated.The space itself is charming—bright, cozy, and full of character. We’ve had the same server each time we’ve gone on the weekend, and he is just lovely: attentive, kind, and clearly passionate about what he does.This place is an absolute must-try if you're looking for a reliably great meal in a beautiful setting. I belive they even do flower making classes on occasion ❤️ - Venus Ehsan
