About Fiorino
Florentine street-food restaurant at Lonsdale Quay in Lower Lonsdale serving house-baked schiacciata, pasta, and aperitivo with a waterfront patio.
Walking along the waterfront at Lonsdale Quay often leads to familiar pub fare or seafood, so finding a spot dedicated to Florentine street food feels like a welcome shift for the North Shore. Fiorino anchors its menu around house-baked schiacciata, serving as the foundation for sandwiches filled with 18-month Prosciutto di Parma, stracciatella, and heirloom tomatoes, or a vegan option featuring fried eggplant and garlic crema. This focus on bread and aperitivo culture distinguishes it from neighboring eateries, offering a specific Italian point of view rather than a generic red-sauce experience. The 200-seat space includes a second-floor patio overlooking the water, making it a practical stop for office lunches or evening gatherings near the Shipyards when the weather cooperates.
The kitchen extends well beyond midday snacks, transitioning through brunch items like orange sponge cake schiacciata alla Fiorentina into dinner plates meant for sharing. You might encounter calamarata with Argentinian red prawns, carbonara enriched with peas and crispy guanciale, or fritto misto alongside saffron potatoes. Italian cocktails and various Negroni variations support the aperitivo atmosphere, while the private dining room accommodates larger groups seeking something distinct. Prices range from simple bread-based snacks to mid-range pasta and seafood dishes, ensuring there is an appropriate option regardless of appetite. For locals wanting authentic Tuscan flavours without pretension, this Lower Lonsdale restaurant provides a genuine alternative to standard waterfront dining.
