Fiola Mare In Wash - Calumet-Norvelt

I would not recommend going to Fiola Mare during COVID or after. The first thing I was informed of is the time limit at the table of 1 hr 30 min, which I thought was completely tasteless. I was celebrating a birthday and brought a cake with me to share at the table. I was informed that I could not cut or eat my cake at the table because things from the outside are not allowed. I thought that policy was ludicrous because literally people bring jackets, purses, etc in the restaurant, which are technically from the outside. Nevertheless, we pressed on. Our waitress was fine, she did her job gracefully and was very funny. We all ordered the lobster ravioli, which was $55. The dish tasted great but I think we were all shocked when we received 2 ravioli and 2 pieces of lobster. It was so tiny that it was more like an hor d'oeurve than a dish. It is criminal to me that Fiola Mare thinks it is appropriate to charge that amount for 2 lobster ravioli and 2 small pieces of lobster. I have no problem paying that amount for quality food but that dish was severely overpriced. At that point I did not wish to press on and order anything else. With the time limit on the dinner, I think we were all ready to go at that point. We all left HUNGRY and underwhelmed. It completely put a damper on my birthday celebration. For that, I will not return and would caution any one else to do the same.

Everything was outstanding! We were supposed to get married on 9/12 but due to the pandemic we postponed the wedding. We went to Fiola Mare to celebrate the occasion and it couldn't have been better! The service, food, beverage, atmosphere was all fantastic! Thanks for making it such a special night.

Perfect peaceful lunch on the water. The food and service were both excellent and it was also a very nice experience for my toddler, who loved the pasta with tomato sauce and fresh bread.

Outstanding service as always. Once again, apps shined. Eggplant, hamachi real standouts. Squid ink pasta w octopus and sea bass were delightful entrees. The custard w nectarines and peaches was a great way to end.

Absolutely fabulous in every respect! Thrilled that they have adjusted so well and not compromised on any of their stellar food, service, experience.
