In 2024, they opened the cafe at 7652 Summer Creek Dr., in a mixed-use residential complex called The Dylan, just off the Chisholm Trail Parkway.<\/p>\n<p>The well-traveled Ross drew from her years living abroad in cities such as London, New York, Singapore, and North Germany where her daughters were born, to create Fiore as a space that brings the warmth and charm of Europe\u2019s intimate cafes to Fort Worth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter living and working all over the world, I wanted to bring a little piece of Europe, its food, its culture, and its way of connecting, to my hometown,\u201d Ross says.<\/p>\n<p>The menu includes panini sandwiches featuring upscale and gourmet ingredients such as The Milanese with breaded chicken and mozzarella; or The Verona, a vegetarian sandwich with roasted bell peppers, onion, arugula, tomato, and choice of hummus or pesto.<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast options and baked goods include croissants, muffins, brownies, frittatas, and pastries. There&#8217;s a full menu of espresso-based drinks including lattes, cappuccinos, cold brew, and affogato. And they offer house-made gelato in authentic flavors such as pistachio, cioccolato, vaniglia, and hazelnut.<\/p>\n<p>Ross says that idea to expand with a wine bar was to fill a need in the area, just as the cafe has done.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There isn&#8217;t anything like us on this side of town \u2014 not one wine bar,&#8221; she says. &#8220;We&#8217;re surrounded by Dunkin, Dutch Bros, but there&#8217;a a huge population of diverse, well-educated people on this side of town who are starving for something non-chain and independently owned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;ll keep the list to mostly Italian wines with four standard house wines, and a few higher-end bottles, with a priority on making it affordable, with house white, red, ros\u00e9, and sparkling wine by the glass for $8 daily.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ll also extend their evening hours Thursday-Saturday, and add some Italian-style small plates to complement the wine service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur expansion into wine and small plates is an extension of that vision, offering a warm and inviting place for neighbors to gather, slow down, and enjoy the simple pleasures of good company and great food,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A darling cafe that&#8217;s beloved in its southwest Fort Worth neighborhood is expanding: Called Fiore Cafe, it\u2019s a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":67581,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,24023,15275,7371,7372,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-67580","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-charity","10":"tag-event-planner","11":"tag-fort-worth","12":"tag-fortworth","13":"tag-texas","14":"tag-tx","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114863820283300089","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
