Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I was very apprehensive about eating here and am very glad that I did go with a group for lunch last week. The food was excellent, portions very good. Their garlic knots were out of this world. We were a group of 7 and everyone had something different and all were pleased with their meal. Service was great, but then again it was not busy even though it was lunch hour in downtown. It is definitely worth the trip in for their yummy food

Our return visit to Fiore's was far from as enjoyable as was the first visit. In a nutshell, dish execution was questionable. Although the pasta fagiole was excellent, the garlic knots were warm yet stale. Reheated? But my main course was below average for any restaurant. I was looking forward to the veal saltimbocca but although what was presented looked good, upon the first taste it was over salted. The promised angel hair pasta was some thicker variety and was still overcooked. Overall the entire dish was mushy, lacked texture variation and basically everything tasted the same. Over saucing didn't help. My partner's veal picatta was similarly over salted but otherwise ok. With the area competition heating up (Mesa de Notte and Antonio's) Fiore's needs to step up its game.

I really like this place. It's small and quiet. The service is quick and food is consistent. My favorite on the menu is the stromboli. I love stromboli and this is easily the best in town. They treat the outside like it's a garlic knot! That's a really great touch. I like that they serve yout beverages in glass and not plastic tumblers. Overall, a must try.

Salad and eggplant parmesan were very good but the garlic knots were stale. The interior was beautiful. Definitely will be back.

Needed a quiet dinner without a 30-60 min wait. We choose Fiores and got seated immediately. Lasagna and Luis favorite chicken with pasta were great. Good service and we were in and out in 38 minutes....

This used to be a favorite, now the pizza is awful, bruschetta a mystery food and can often be full,of unruly children and their unobservant parents. We have had three delightful meals since the disaster evening. Food was good and no screaming kids. Glad to be back.

Got the trio sampler with mozzarella sticks , bruschetta and calamari. Yum and finished with salad and eggplant parmigiana . Very good and service as well

I tried this place with the promise of a quality pizza. I was disappointed. First, the service was slow and the server forgot to bring me the sprites my daughter and I ordered. We also never received a refill on water and the pizza we ordered came out early enough that my daughter and I finished eating before my wife got her food. As for the pizza, we ordered a sausage pizza. It was doughy and cheesy but the pizza and the sausage had no real taste. It was extremely bland and when I did get any taste it was salty.... very salty ( thus the need for my water). I reminded me of chain restaurant pizza, like Pizza Hut. This reaffirms that Ocala just doesn't have great pizza and don't know any better to realize what they're missing out on. PS my wife never got a refill on her tea, but said her eggplant parmigiana was fine.

Me and my parents came from out of town and picked this place out of random. Turned out to be a great choice! The food was obviously homemade with fresh ingredients. I shared a house salad and louis favorite pizza. The salad came with a homemade dressing that was the bomb.com . The pizza had a very flavorful dough. Pops got eggplant parmesan and loved it. I wish there was some oil and vinegar to dip my bread in, but I'm sure our waiter would have brought some if I asked.

Service was decent. Had a sit down meal dinner of a special of the day fish entree'. The fish was over cooked but seasoned well. The vegetables were so under cooked, I could not even cut them with a knife. The clincher was when I received my check. The "Special" of the day was $26!!! This restaurant doesn't open until 4:00 and seems to be closed certain days. It is mostly a take out pizzaria.

Best pizza in Ocala! Toppings were fresh, sauce was tasty, and the pizza was not overly greasy like most places. Service was quick and friendly. All around great experience.

This is a great small non chain place that we love to go to. (yes it used to be Dairy Queen). The food and service are usually very good. it is not a fast food restaurant everything is pre-pared to order. The homemade sauces are very good and make sure you try the risotto. On Christmas Eve I made a reservation for the latest seating they had. When my son was late getting into town we were late getting there. Although they were getting ready to close, they sat us and fed us a great dinner and saved our Christmas Eve.

Have driven past this place for months and it never looks like its open. Today there were cars in the parking lot so we decided to try it. Atmosphere and look is nice. Garlic knots were good as well as the creamy vegetable soup but everything else was disappointing. Salad tastes store bought along with the tortellini. The chicken piccata was questionable. Even more disappointed when reading the other reviews. I guess for Ocala it's acceptable.

I'm truly surprised that there aren't more positive reviews on this place! I don't think there's much competition to FIore's, in my opinion. Minus the franchised stuff (which I hate pre-packaged frozen crap), you don't have much mom-pop competition. I think Pavarotti's is great but Fiore's has a better red sauce. Carmine's has great service but the food is subpar to Fiore's. Mesa de Notte is pretty good but not for the pricetag on their meal. Loretto's is meh and Abio's is next on our to-eat list... I love their spicy mussel app, it's by far my favorite so far! My mom had the shrimp aglio olio and that was yummy, too (big shrimps that weren't overcooked). My husband had the lasagna and because their red sauce is amazing, it was so delcious! I'm not sure how they'd do on pizza, but I rank them high for their pastas. Aside from food, the service is always attentive! There's a parking attendant and all of the waiters/waitresses always greet you. Overall, why wouldn't you go there??

Specials are very good. Garlic rolls are excellent. Atmosphere is a little different as it is a converted fast food place. Occasional music on weekends is good. Pizza is good but not quite 5 star.

When the former Dairy Queen offers valet service, it's time to come back around for a visit. The building has a fresh coat of paint and the interior has been remodeled. Still, it seemed impossible to forget this was the old DQ., But then came the bottle of wine and the gourmet appetizers and the memories of deluxe bacon burgers and fries melted away into a delightful Italian dinner. Should've taken notes on the menu. The food was outstanding. If it were a little less loud and a little more comfortable, it would be great place for a romantic dinner. But in Ocala, sometimes good seems to be good enough.

The first time we ate at Fiore's was the last. We ordered calamari and after about 15 minutes the server came back and told us they did not have any. That was followed by the pasta dish I ordered, which was supposed to be served with angel hair, being served with linguini instead. Did I mention they were also out of the wine I ordered? To top it off, the server did not have the professionalism to have a manager address the issues, or do anything to ensure we left Fiore's happy. And finally -- really noisy -- a loud guitar player droning out 70's songs! Fiore's just doesn't do it for me. The food was really not bad, but the overall cramped atmosphere and uncaring service puts them on my "no return" list.

The best Italian in Ocala! Intimate atmosphere, great service, delicious specials. Try the Malbec wine if you like reds.

Good takeout Italian. I had the talapia and it came with pasta a salad and garlic bread. All for around ten bucks. Not too shabs.

Finally had dinner with my wife after hearing good things. Arrived at 6:00 pm on a Saturday night and place was pretty empty. Fiores has beer and wine only. Started with special app , eggplant with mozz stacked high with balsamic ving, very good, then one item from special tapas menu, veal cutlet topped with arugula, spring lettuce and chopped tomatoes. Maybe best item we had all night, Cutlet was thin and crispy cooked perfectly and produce was fresh . Plus it filled a large dinner plate and could be ordered as entree. Finally we had two entrees , both specials, thin cut pork chops with creme onion mushroom sauce, risotto and asparagus, only complaint risotto was a little stiff not so creamy, other item was fish [ cannot remember what type ? ] white wine sauce,same sides. Ramone was the server , very attentive. By 7:00 pm the place was full and good energy. We will return as all food served was fresh and tasty with good service.

Last night was my first and last experience at this restaurant! A friend and I went after hearing great things, but were very disappointed. Service was awful, save for the hostess who at least tried to acknowledge us! We ordered and an hour later, still had not received garlic rolls! Finally, our inept and unphased waiter, Josh stopped catering to his friends and told us "Someone must gave taken your rolls. Did you still want them?" when we said yes, it took another 20 minutes and asking the hostess for anything to arrive. Then, they actually tried to charge for them! No apology was offered, and Josh didn't seem to care that we were obviously unhappy customers. In the time we were there, which granted was a LONG time due to such poor service, we watched two tables wait over 10 minutes to be greeted before finally walking out. Worst part, I don't think anyone even noticed! Management should hire a more prepared and efficient wait staff, and while I understand rewarding regulars, I shouldn't see a local attorney walk in over 30 minutes after me, be served food well before my table, and leave while I'm still waiting for rolls! Maybe they are the people who "took" ours. You can have a better experience, complete with higher quality food at less expensive prices at LaBellas or Danzano's. I will NEVER return to Fiore's, and I plan to spread the word!!

My first time at this new restaurant. My first impression walking in when I stepped into the dinning room was how small it was. I think my bedroom my be about the size of the dining area. Cozy to say the least. The tables are very close to each other so you kinda get to know your neighbors. They serve wine and the prices were not bad for the wine. The dining room also lacked sufficient A/C and my girlfriend and I were sweating the whole time. We did ask to turn the ceiling fan on but they could not do that with out turning the bright fluorescent lighting on so we opted for the hotter dim version of dinner. Now lets get the food. It was absolutely amazing. My neighbors sitting next to me had their special pizza which looked great. We ordered soup first and it's home made. We split the eggplant with linguine and garlic knots. Very authentic tasting. Will be going back very soon. I suspect they will have to be moving to a larger location in the very near future. Yea...... great Italian. Finally.
