Fiore's Cafe

this is our favorite place in Ocala. The staff are amazing and the food is always hot, fresh and delicious. My favorite is Louisa's favorite chicken ( with veggies instead of pasta). The sauce is heavenly and chicken is so tender. Not to mention, I always bring 1/2 home. The soups are amazing as is the cheesecake. My only downside is the acoustics are not the best - when it is busy, it is sometimes hard to hear, bit we go either early or late so it is never a problem.

Wow! Awesome place!! Greatest warmly, and offered a drink while waiting for our table. After a very short wait, we were seated. Ordered the amazing artichoke francaise. Perfection!! ordered the eggplant Parmesan and the lasagna both very good! Food was great but service even better! Can't wait to go back.

My wife and I recommend "Fiore's Cafe" located on Pine Avenue. Italian eating at its finest with Italian flair throughout the restaurant. Service and friendly staff to match. Huge portions with many tempting menu choices. This is the best pizza I have had since living here coming from the Chicago area. Pricing was very reasonable. Arrive before 5 pm because this place gets very busy.

Remind me of the small neighborhood Italian restaurant from the Bronx back in the day. Our party of 4 had reservations which I recommend. When we arrived we were greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress was very friendly and polite. The service and food were great! Just a wonderful experience. It will get a little loud when it gets busy.

The food is always fresh and delicious we've never had anything we don't absolutely LOVE! We definitely love the atmosphere the restaurant is cozy and the service is always great!!

I wasn't going to write a review. Then I saw the 1* from yesterday and felt compelled to say my piece: Romantic Ambiance: dimly lit, Italian tenors crooning in the background, linen napkins and fresh flowers, though it did get a bit noisy when the dining room was packed. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive without being pushy or pressuring. They allowed us plenty of time to peruse the menu while sipping our Nero D'abola--a nice Sicilian wine that can be hard to find, even in Italian restaurants. We began with Shrimp Cocktail and Beef Carpaccio. Both were succulent. Cocktail sauce was tangy and spicy. Carpaccio had crisp greens, savory cheese, and a lovely lemon flavor. The Pasta Fagioli Soup was great: creamy texture, nice balance of salty flavor and al dente pasta. House salad was fresh and the vinaigrette was a surprisingly delicious herbal red-wine concoction. My osso buco was so tender, I couldn't spear it with my fork. The saffron risotto was perfectly al dente and supremely flavorful. The Flounder special was tender, bathed in a delicious lemon wine sauce that elevated the spinach. The artichokes tasted fresh and tender, not the typical marinated type. Even the sun-dried tomatoes were great: a slight chew, a burst of flavor, and none too sweet either. Impressed with our dinners, we ordered a veggie pizza to go as well as one each of the homemade desserts: tiramisu, cannoli, cheesecake, and chocolate mousse. Out of pure curiosity (as we were stuffed) we tasted the pizza when we arrived home and oh mah gawd: fantastic. A plethora of juicy veggies atop a blanket of cheese, a firm but not too thick crust to support it all plus a sprinkling of parmesan. I'm drooling as I write this. A bonus: we forgot to tell them to put dessert sauces on the side, but they did it automatically. That's the kind of service I adore. Cannoli texture was firm yet melted in the mouth. Filling was beautifully seasoned; vanilla, anise, cinnamon--just delightful. Cheesecake is old school style: velvety and not overly sweet. Chocolate Mousse is a chocolate lover's dream, and so airy. The tiramisu is tearfully gone. I inhaled it: nice balance of cream and spice with espresso flavor and somehow stable yet soaked cake. Whoever wrote the review (from CA) claiming this place is unsanitary is either ill-informed or mistaken. Perhaps they meant that review for a different restaurant. Having dined there yesterday and having been in the restaurant business for 20yrs myself (2 health inspections a yr = 40 A+ ratings at my establishment) I witnessed zero health code violations at Fiore's, and I usually see 1 or 2 in the dining room during a meal. If you didn't like it, just say you didn't like it. We each have our own tastes which is the true beauty of Yelp. But to claim that a restaurant is putting patrons' lives in danger with "unsanitary" practices *if they aren't* is immoral. On that note, a heartfelt thanks to all genuine Yelpers out there! Keep on yelping, y'all!

Excellent choice! We live in the Ocala area but had never tried this place. The ambiance is wonderful, very relaxing, but chic. Italian food is the fare served. There were 4 in our party and we all tried something different - the flounder special with artichokes, spinach and tomatoes over pasta; fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti and home-made meatballs and eggplant Parmesan with a side of pasta. Each was delicious with generous portions served. We shared the 4 dessert offerings between us and each was delicious and made in-house. Chocolate mousse cake, cannoli, fruit topped cheese cake and tiramisu. Perfect ending to an excellent meal. The service was excellent as well. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

Hidden Gem. Don't let the old Pizza Hut building fool you. Oh no, have faith. 1. The fresh garlic on the rolls is unreal 2. The pizza crust is awesome 3. Service is friendly and authentic 4. All the dishes are high quality and fresh 5. Never had anything I didn't like 6. The specials are always worth the trip 7. Wine pour is healthy, just house wine who cares 8. They remember you 9. House salad dressing is unique, order it 10. I'll be back soon Can come casual or dressed up if you want. Small dining room and tables are closed together. No booths. Like 15 tables. They will put them together if you need it. Great staff. Thx to everyone
