In October, Fiorino Italian Street Food celebrates its two-year anniversary with a public party, special Italian wine pricing for the rest of this year, and a grand prize: a trip for two to Florence!
On Wednesday, October 4, Fiorino will be throwing un buon anniversario, to thank all the patrons that have made the Chinatown eatery such a vibrant establishment these past two years. The anniversary party will feature live Italian-inspired music, raffles, and Aperitivo (Happy Hour) pricing all night long. Limited reservations available at fiorinovancouver.com
The team will also be continuing the celebrations and sharing the love via their all-Italian wine list. Each and every Wednesday for the remainder of the year, Fiorino will be opening special bottles and pouring them by the glass. Beginning on October 4, wines-by-the-glass will include at least one of the following: Altesino Brunello, Elio Altare Nebbiolo, Castello del Terriccio Tassinaia, with equally noteworthy vintages popping up from time to time.
Also available on Wednesdays until the end of 2023, one select bottle at half-price for the night, with bottles such as: Chianti Classico (was $82, for $41), St. Michael Eppan Pinot Noir (was $96, for $48), and Tolloy Pinot Grigio (was $75, for $37.50).
And finally, Fiorino will also be giving one lucky contest winner the grand prize: a trip for two to Italy in the form of a travel voucher to the restaurant’s inspiration of Firenze.

About Fiorino Italian Street Food
In January 2013, Giovanni (Gio) Mascagni moved to British Columbia from his native Florence, Italy. Unable to find his favourite snack—Tuscan sandwiches made with authentic Schiacciata bread, Gio took matters into his own hands. He returned to Florence to apprentice under acclaimed baker Dario Della Lunga at his Chicco di Grano bakery inside the city’s iconic Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio. There, he learned the centuries-old techniques of Tuscan bread making, coupled with the art of creating Florence’s famous street foods. Returning to Vancouver, Gio partnered with Mitchel Clark and the two brought on chef Joshua Horrocks to form Fiorino Italian Street Food, which specializes in freshly baked Schiacciata sandwiches filled with quality local and imported ingredients. These are available alongside fresh Italian fare, creative cocktails, and a discovery-style list of all-Italian wines.
