IL FIORA

Lovely S P.

Il Fiora is an absolute gem in Buena Park, offering a delightful Italian dining experience that exceeds expectations. From the moment you step in, the cozy ambiance and friendly staff make you feel welcomed and relaxed. The menu is a masterpiece of Italian cuisine, featuring a wide array of dishes crafted with care, expertise in a simple way. Among the many delicious options, my personal favorite is their Mushroom Pizza. Each bite is a perfect harmony of fresh mushrooms, savory cheese, and a crisp, flavorful crust that’s just the right balance of chewy and crispy. The attention to detail in every dish is evident, reflecting a true passion for quality ingredients and authentic flavors. Whether you’re a pizza enthusiast like me or exploring their pasta or seafood offerings, each dish is prepared with skill and served with a smile. The atmosphere is perfect for many occasions specially for a birthday celebration, a family celebration, or a casual meal with friends. Il Fiora Italian Restaurant in Buena Park is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates delicious Italian food served in a warm, inviting environment. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Honestly I’m not a fan of most Italian spots as they’re all color with no flavor. This was not the case here. Solid 10/10 across the board and would recommend to anybody looking for a good Italian restaurant. Pizza and Pasta were phenomenal.

This place was awesome and I want to go back right now. Alfredo and Tomato seafood pasta were absolutely delicious. Gorgeous but not inaccesable interior, with a cool view over 4-level outdoor mall outside. Probably the best bread I've ever had.

Last Thursday (July 20 2023) I called for reservation and I was told by the voicemail that they do not anymore offer reservations but I was promised that seats will be available based on the time we will visit. We got there at the promised time and there was seats available. The food is great and the service is well attended by the staff. I recommend Funghi pasta and Blue Lemonade I'll be back for more!

Went here for a weekend lunch. The ambience is great! The menu is a bit small but enough for a quick meal. The calamari appetizer is something that can be improved. It's not crispy at all and the portions are smaller than expected. The pasta is really great and comes with italian bread and olive oil. Overall I would come again but not ordering the calamari appetizer again.

First time visiting here for lunch today. luxurious interior, both the dining area and the patio are beautiful. Also very friendly staff helped explain the menu. I ordered a cream sauce base, carbonara, and tomato sauce, Cioppino. The carbonard has bacon and cream sauce, and the Cioppino has a whole large squid. Both were amazing!! The rose lemonade was also very pretty and delicious. Free bread is served before the meal, and it is also delicious. I will definitely come back and try other food:)) I love here so much!!I wanna try cocktail next time

It was ok I asked for do not over cook pasta but it was overcooked ……. Taste was ok for the price and atmosphere

It was a cozy, restaurant service on the patio was a little slow. Did a bit of people watching below on the lower floors can be entertaining. The cioppino was tasty but a little more salty than I like. The Calamiri was however very good.

This place is kinda italian like restaurant. Food quality: 4 stars Service: 5 stars Price: little bit pricey compared to its size Pros: Good view and nice interior for selfi Cons: you might need to ask more appeti bread for fill up your stomach (their appeti bread is my one pick menu, btw) Overall: willing to revisit. 4.5 stars

Too expensive for casual Italian, but!!! Hands down the best bread I ever had. It puts Texas roadhouse, olive garden, red lobster in shame. The bread is phenomenal!!! The main entree and other is ok.

The food is delicious. I enjoyed the shrimp rose pasta and funghi pizza. Service is slow as they appear to be understaffed.

The carbonara had soooo much garlic 🧄 😑 but it came with really good bread / pita. Server was friendly. Place was quiet on a monday night.

Had shrimp and calamari appetizer with wine and IPA later. Servers were attentive and service was fast. They didn’t have the wine I wanted but yeh substitute was good enough. Food was just ok for us. Great place for a date or a small gathering.

The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere, and the service was exceptionally friendly, which I really appreciated. However, the food itself was just okay. Good spot for a casual lunch, but I wouldn’t go back.

nice view. nothing really attracting on the menu. service was good. food was ok but wasnt like wow. calamari was nasty. overall i wouldnt go back there again for the food ill maybe go back to sip on some wine (wine bottle pretty cheap here)

Staff is really nice. But from a culinary perspective this is really mediocre at best.

Came in and got outdoor seating. Nice view but water came 30 minutes into our meal despite the fact we kept asking. It wasn’t a hard ask to simply get water and I have no problem with the delay of the actual meal. Service seems out of hand. Maybe poor management. Food is alright with decent portions and pricing. Not a wow kind of food but it’s good to enjoy with no expectations. So much better options at the source.

Service to deliver my food takes along time for a spare ribs.Food is ok expensive.place is ok. Restrooms need cleaning. I don’t recommend this restaurant. Half rack of spareribs $35.

Food was okay. However, the restaurant's atmosphere failed to captivate me, despite its appealing interior. The staff appeared somewhat disengaged, giving off the impression of part-timers (possibly students) simply biding their time until their shifts ended. They seemed occupied with conversations among themselves(they were loud) and other tasks. This lack of focus resulted in an overall chaotic vibe, which was very disappointing and no one attended to our table unless they were bringing out food. Additionally, I noticed stains on the table and breadcrumbs on the chairs.

I regret to say that my last two visits to IL FIORA have been extremely disappointing. On my most recent visit, which was for my son’s birthday, I ordered the smoked salmon salad with extra salmon. Unfortunately, I was served a plate stacked with arugula and only three small pieces of salmon—even after requesting and paying for more. When I raised this issue, the server did not handle it directly. Instead, a supervisor came to inform me the dish had been comped, but the situation was handled in a way that felt dismissive rather than corrective. What made the experience even worse was the unprofessional behavior of the kitchen staff, who left the kitchen and stared at me as if I were at fault for pointing out the problem. This type of conduct is unacceptable in any restaurant setting. The service overall has consistently been inattentive, with staff often disengaged and more focused on conversations with each other than on their guests. I have also been told on multiple occasions that the staff are “new,” but the repeated issues point more to poor training and management. While some of my family members enjoy the food here, I find the menu uninspired and lacking in creativity. Given the ongoing issues with service and professionalism, I can no longer recommend IL FIORA as a dining option in Buena Park.
