Never judge a book by it’s cover. So cliche, but this was my exact thought immediately after leaving Fiola. From the outside looking in, Fiola can be a bit intimidating for the casual diner. You would think you can only enter unless you are a card carrying member of one of those members-only clubs in [...]
