Cafe Fiore - Branford

Very yummy food professional service. Best garlic knots I?ve ever had !!

Absolutely loved this place when I lived in Branford and it was the first place I wanted to eat at after moving to Florida 3 years ago and it is still constantly excellent, food and service. I had my favorite meal Eggplant Fiore

We came here for lunch and the food and service was wonderful. I?ve lived in Italy for ten years and work as a chef, so I?m picky about Italian food. The garlic knots were delicious we had the zuppa di pesce, eggplant Parmesan, and chicken fiore. They were all well made and reasonably priced. Our server was delightful and very accommodating we had our young daughter with us and our server brought her a high chair and her own special drink. We will definitely go back!

Would give zero stars if I could! Let me start by saying my family and I frequent this restaurant. JUST left the restaurant (25min drive home), get home, and this is what my food looks like. These are the same 2 dishes as you can see one has the vodka sauce and the other barely has any. Please also note the lack of noodles in each tray. I called the store and spoke with 3 different people before speaking with the VERY RUDE manager. The manager proceeds to tell me that he has made over 100 trays of this item (eggplant fiore which btw we order EVERYTIME we go) today and he hasn?t received any complaints, so he finds it hard to believe that my meal is messed up. Proceeds to tell me that I need to drive back (25min) and show him because he can?t believe this and maybe he?ll refund me or remake it. Continues to be very rude I politely informed him I will not be driving back (it?s raining as we speak) and I will be sure to write a yelp and google review. The manager then tells me ?if that?s what you choose to do go ahead but never come here again? I can assure you I have no want to go again due to the distasteful customer service ESPECIALLY from a supposed manager. My family will refrain from providing this establishment with any further business and I will be contacting my bank to dispute this charge as these meals were not properly made! Again I would leave zero stars if I could.

Very nice dining experience. We were seated inside. No masks required, even while walking to table, bathroom, etc. Waitstaff was attentive and meals came out fairly quickly. Although the restaurant quickly filled up with patrons, we were able to have a nice conversation without feeling rushed.
