Every good story has an ending. As only a few of you know, Mike suffered a critical health event this past year. He still has a tough road ahead of him that requires our complete focus. For this reason and with great sadness, we announce the closing of Fiora’s effective today (January 3, 2023).
Fiora’s story is full of good food, fine wines, laughter, and love. This story would not have existed without you. With such warmth and gratitude, we recognize that everyone can choose where to go to share a meal with friends or celebrate a special occasion and we thank you for sharing it with us. You made the story of Fiora’s so very special.
It was such a difficult decision to close Fiora’s. We opened Fiora’s to serve the community and continue the legacy of a beautiful, historic house. It has been such an honor to have been part of your lives for 13 wonderful years. We will miss our staff and all of you! But it gives us great solace to know we will remain the owners of and cherish this beautiful building for years to come.
We ask for your understanding and support during this time. Thank you in advance for your prayers as we navigate the coming months.

In 2007, the owners of Fiora's learned that the fate of a beautiful landmark building in historic downtown Geneva was uncertain. They purchased it. They listened to the community. They recognized the potential to create a unique place for people to come and enjoy the magic that is Geneva.
Their vision was to offer casual fine dining, exquisite wine and spirits, and spectacular entertainment in a relaxed but elegant atmosphere. They set out to provide quality food, excellent service and an outstanding guest experience to all.
Fiora's will be missed.
