Just want to take note that Fiore’s will be closed for a Private Party on Monday, October 11th and also both Friday and Saturday evenings October 22 and 23rd. On all of those days we will be open for lunch as usual.

August 29th is the birth date of two special people, Chef/Owner Anthony Cerrato of Fiore’s Ristorante and Gloria (wife of Steve Pignatiello). Anthony has decided to pull out all the stops for a one-of-a-kind birthday dinner to celebrate his and Gloria’s birthday. , Steve Pignatiello of course, will pull out all the stops with the wines.

If you have tasted Anthony’s cuisine, you know he makes flavors dance on your palate. His creations are succulent and wine friendly. For this dinner, he is creating a brand new course in the context of an exclusive 5-course menu that will pair well with my world-class wines. Speaking of wines, we’ll have at least 2 Premier Cru wines as well as at least 1 older vintage wine (maybe 2). Plus, Steve will have some surprises for the birthday kids. We are very excited to celebrate Anthony’s and Gloria’s common birthday with such a wonderful evening.

You have to know that this event will be “over the top”. Please call Fiore’s directly at 828-281-0710 for more information and to reserve your places. Come celebrate with Gloria and Anthony on August 29th at 6pm. Look forward to seeing you there.”
