Fiorella Italian Restaurant

You can find us inside the Hotel Express Residency over in the Alkapuri area. We are right on R C Dutt Road, just across from C H Jewellers. Alkapuri is a pretty busy part of Vadodara, but we try to keep things grounded here. Being inside the hotel means we get people from all over the country staying with us, which is interesting. The 390007 area is active, especially in the evenings when the shops are open and people are out walking. Our restaurant has a specific focus on the menu, but we don't make a big deal out of it. We just prepare the food and bring it out. The kitchen can get quite loud during the dinner rush, and sometimes you can hear the clattering of pans from the dining area if you're sitting close. We’ve got a decent-sized team, and many of us have been working together for years. We know each other’s habits. The decor is okay, nothing too over the top or fancy. We spend a lot of time on the little things, like making sure the silverware is clean and the napkins are ready. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s ours. We see a lot of local families coming in for celebrations, and it’s nice to be a part of that. We don't have any grand mission statements or anything. We just open the doors at the usual time and stay until the last guest leaves.
