- OTOpenTable DinerPhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoAbsolutely AMAZING! As someone who bought their sausage from Fiorella’s I am blown away by how much of the original charm they kept. This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint. First visit was outside, tonight we were indoors. So happy I requested indoors. While enjoying dinner I really got a chance to look around and reminisce about old Fiorella Sausage and my visits as a young girl and a married woman. Oh and those monkfish arancini… delish. The rigatoni with Fiorella sausage and the ricotta gnocchi to die for. Everything was wonderful. Can not wait to go back.More infoFiorella PhiladelphiaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Bella Vista•4.9

I had chicken piccata that had very little flavor and the pasta was overcooked Serving size was large. My friend had clams and linguine which she enjoyed very much.
