About Fiola
Guests enter from Indiana Avenue into dining rooms dressed in white linen, upholstered chairs and art-hung walls, with a private salon for larger parties. Two tasting menus, one seafood-forward and one built around meat, run beside an à la carte list of handmade pasta; lobster ravioli, caviar, the tuna starter and duck are the dishes guests single out, and a separate pizza night has built its own following. Dinner is served Tuesday to Saturday from 5 to 9pm. Reviews put the hospitality first, naming servers again and again, and several call it the best Italian cooking they have had in America. The dissent is specific: one diner found a pasta sauce bland and the upselling pushy, another felt ignored by a server at this price. Google sits at 4.6 from about 940 reviews. It is priced at the top of the city's Italian market, and the crowd dresses to match.
