I went to Fiamma this past weekend for the first time since the new chef took the helm, and was absolutely blown away by both the food and the service! From the moment the reservationist picked up the phone until the manager wished us a good night, everyone on staff was both professional and friendly. Our server was very knowledgeable on both the food and wines, and was really helpful in assisting us with choosing our 5 course menus (there is a suggested one, but we were free to create our own as well). The chilled tomato and lobster soup, the lasagna, and the cherry wood smoked lamb were the real stand outs that evening. Most of the food we had was very rich, and the portions were fairly large; it took us a good 3 hours to finish. We never felt rushed or crowded, even as the restaurant filled up around us. The manager was by the host stand as we were leaving, and seemed to take a genuine interest in how our evening had gone. All in all I thought the evening was worth every penny!
Pros: warm service, great food
Cons: prix-fixe menu, a la carte only at the bar
