Pat Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Tom, in today's chat, says Fiola will be switching to dinner only as of June 17th. Quote No one stocks better servers, in all his many restaurants, than the esteemed Fabio Trabocchi, whose empire now extends to Venice and who just informed me that as of June 17, he's going to serve dinner only at Fiola, which he plans to renovate and turn into a "world-class restaurant" in 2020.

Great...so we can look forward to the tasting menus doubling in price, and the reasonable four or five course prix fixe going away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also expect that "world-class" means higher prices. All I know for sure is this means the end of the Restaurant Week lunches I used to enjoy with a friend who works nearby, as well as a prime jury duty lunch spot. I haven't had a meal here in quite some time that wasn't one of those specials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericandblueboy Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 For Mother's Day, Fiola Mare offered a 3 course brunch for $75. One of the entree options is the Lobster Ravioli, listed at $62. I had to confirm that there's no supplement for ordering the Lobster Ravioli. I can't see myself ever actually paying $62 for just the Lobster Ravioli. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know lobster prices have gone up across the board but that still seems absurd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as a matching example, Bourbon Steak's Lobster Pot Pie was $68 over five-years ago, and it contained a single lobster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Fiola / Fiola Mare's use a single lobster per order? I remember the ravioli being pretty plump but didn't know if it was that amount in the whole dish.

horacebailey14 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 We went for dinner last week and were thoroughly impressed. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. The balance of flavors, textures and temperatures on all of our dishes was perfect. We had the 4 course menu, which was plenty of food, and the little extras they gave us along the way were a great touch (including a generous pour of a desert wine). We prefer cocktails over wine, and ordered two of their signatures, both well-balanced and complex enough to keep me sipping happily throughout the meal. Fiola is an outstanding restaurant and deserves its star, but is the food worth what we paid? It depends. Even though we loved our meal there we probably wouldn't have gone had we not been given a gift card (hello daycare!). We were discussing at dinner that as good as the food was, was it twice as good as places we've eaten that cost half as much? Probably not, but that's an objective measure for something that is inherently subjective. It felt like we were paying for the service as much as the food, which isn't a bad thing. The service and ambiance at Fiola were incredible, and certainly made our evening very memorable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
