Fiola da Fabio Trabocchi

Each course was better than the one before we were wowed!

We went to Fiola for my birthday celebration. The food and service were amazing but unfortunately the noise level was boarding on intolerable. There was a rather large and loud bar crowd that overwhelmed the dining area. One group of bar patrons starting playing a drinking game. I was having trouble hearing my guests. When I am paying $250 per person for a meal, I expect a much better atmosphere and not have to compete with the folks in the bar.

Our table had the chef’s choice and at the end of the evening all five people said, BEST MEAL EVER!!!!

The service was uneven. Sommelier, she pushed a wine that was completely opposite to what we asked her for. They opened a 30 year bottle without giving us the cork to smell or look at. We had to ask. The food quality and presentation was not special. Food was tepid in temperature where it should be warmer, and candidly flavors were common. We were disappointed. One of us sat facing the service door. For a tab for two over $1000 and built in 10% service charge and we left another $100, so 20% tip, they didn't even bother to open our door when we left. We tipped the coat clerk$10.00 she didn't even come and help is with our coats. Bar service before we were seated was bordering rude. Drinks were diffident. Disappointed.

The pre fix menu was very limited and rather pedestrian. went with steak by default and it was not cooked to order. Pretty disappointing.
