One of the best places to have Italian food in Bangalore. Service is also very good. A bit expensive but then you have to pay for quality. I have been there a number of times and would ask you to do the same too.

Recently I have visited this place with one of my colleague from France. The Restro has good ambiance and they are very customer friendly.My colleague has said he had very authentic Italian food ( we have ordered Salmon , Pasta and Prawns ). Personally having Italian food for first time doesn't taste good to me but my colleague thanked me for taking him there and surely he enjoyed his dinner.
I will surely visit it again soon.

This restaurant serves OK Italian food at an exorbitant price.
We ordered for a Brocolli soup with some garlic bread. The soup was well done but that is what is expected of a restaurant claiming to tbe serving authentic Italian. The garlic bread came in CKU - completely knocked down unit - you need to apply butter, garlic, tomatoes and basil your self and ask the waiter for some cheese grated on top of your piece. Sometimes, it takes a while before the waiter realizes what we asked for and oblige.
The restaurant is done up in white - no frills - but i sometimes wonder - are all Italian restaurants supposed to be dressed up in white without any much ambiance.
We ordered a risotto and a pasta - bth were decent without much to say. They were not bad but not out of the world.
The bill surely is out of the world though.
Overall, average Italian food !

I had heard rave reviews of this place and decided to check the place out last month. In fact, had taken my team out for lunch to this place.
When we tried to order individually, we were "recommended" to take the "lunch buffet" (which is served in the table) - and were told that ordering individually will take a lot of time (for them to serve the food). Hence we choose the "buffet at the table".
We found the food to be "very average" (the past with the alfredo base was horrible). The knocker was the price - it cost us about 1000 bucks per person and the whole experience was *bad*. For having spent about 25$ a person, I would expect a lot more!!!

Chic ambiance, warm service and good food make this Italian restaurant an ideal choice for a romantic date or for a family gathering. The furniture is black and contrasts stylishly with the whitewashed walls. On one corner, there is a glass display unit which shows off Fiorana’s desserts, cheese and breads.
The highlight of a meal in this restaurant is most definitely the complementary plate of bruschetta that you get to put together on your own. A beautiful wooden slicing board with warm, fresh bread is put in front of you along with a plate of basil leaves, cherry tomatoes and roasted garlic pods. Pick up the garlic and rub it on the bread so it spreads evenly. Follow this up with the basil leaves and then the cherry tomatoes. Drizzle some olive oil and bite into the fresh bruschetta. Delicious! Don’t be shy asking the waiter for help and directions – they are very friendly.
The starters and salads at Fiorano are superb. You cannot go wrong with the crostinis - bread baked with mozzarella cheese and vegetable (like tomatoes or mushrooms) or chicken toppings. The mixed green salad with tomatoes and sundried tomatoes is fantastic. The minestrone soup is good.
The main courses are passable. I have tried the pastas – both vegetarian and non-vegetarian and have not loved it. I tried the margharita pizza recently, a thin crust pizza with tomatoes, basil and cheese and it was quite good. My recommendation would be to focus on the salads and starters and go easy on the main course.
As for dessert, do try the tiramisu, it is really good with the right amount of mascarpone and coffee flavour. They have a mango cheesecake and fig tart – but I have not tried those. Exotic chocolates are also available; my favourite is an orange peel chocolate, a slightly bitter treat.
A very interesting fact about Fiorano is that they have a cheese factory upstairs where they make mozzarella, ricotta, mascarpone, bocconcini and cream cheese. You can buy them fresh from them. They also sell imported cheese such as brie and gorgonzola as well as cold cuts like salami. Fresh breads including focaccia are also available. Their patisserie churns out some gorgeous cakes, desserts and pastries as well on order. They do make home deliveries on orders over Rs.1500. Call them to get more details or log on to www.fiorano.in.
Fiorano an excellent option for vegetarians, the vegetarian choices are extensive and delicious. Valet parking is available. Do make reservations if you are going there past 8:30 pm. A meal for two without alcohol is approximately Rs.1000.
