Best

Exquisite, original, complex yet not-too-complex Italian that pleases all the senses and finds undiscovered ones to seduce. The Cappuccino of Chestnuts, Wild Pheasant, and Chanter...

Worst

The only thing Italian about this restaurant is the name ""fiamma"" or flame. The wine list is large but ridiculously overpriced, and just because truffles are an Italian delicac...

Great Spot 1/17/2006

This was a cool spot to hit. We had a group of about 10 and ordered different entree's a few bottles of wine and some aps. The service was fantastic, the ambiance was great, the food was good. We had a fantastic evening. Pros: SERVICE, wine, ambiance Cons: a little pricey, not a big selection, a little uptight more

Highly recommended. Great food and service 12/1/2005

Went there last night with out of town clientel. Everyone loved the food. Everything from the pasta tasting to the dessert was exceptional. Good value as well. Would go back there again. Service was attentive and always there when you needed something. Did not feel rushed to leave as it was pretty crowded when we finished. I recommend the butternut squash pasta. Best pasta I have ever had!! Easy to make a reservation and parking outside the restauraunt is not bad if you get there right before 6PM. Street parking after 6PM on Spring St between 6th and Sullivan. Pros: Service, Food, Easy Parking more

What happened to my fav restaurant?! 8/8/2005

I took my boyfriend to, what used be my favorite restaurant, Fiamma, for a special occasion. We were greatly disappointed. The wait staff, which usually are quite attentive and complement the experience, were awful and unhelpful!! The food was waaaaay overpriced and the portions seem to have shrunk! Even the ambienance has changed to casual, people were very dressed down. Typically, the atmosphere is romantic and elegant, where sneakers aren't appropriate, which I enjoy-- It used be a place to get dressed up, have a great meal, eat amazing desserts and be waited on. Not the case anymore. I will not be returning. What happened?! Cons: Overpriced, Loud, Not quality food more

Fiamma ..amazing again 2/20/2005

this is the second time i've been here.. haven't been in a couple of years but the food and service was excellent as it was the first time... I had the Capesante and I finally had to try the Gaganelli...which was out of this world... I was so good i can't wait to go back and have it again... my girlfriend had the risotto which was excellent and we both had a glass of wine ..which is the only draw back ..very overpriced ..and the service was excellent ..ask for Nicholas for your server... he will definite take care of you... Pros: food, service Cons: wines overpriced more

I <3 Fiamma! 2/13/2005

My girlfriends and I are self-proclaimed foodies and keep coming back to Fiamma to try everything on their ever-changing and beautiful menu- a tough task. Everything is really to die for- you'll dream of the garganelli (the best pasta in NY) in bed at night well after going. But the best part for me and my friends is hanging out at the bar with a sampling of desserts, some espresso, maybe a chocolate martini, and Peter, their sexy and funny bartender (he's usually on the upstairs floor, we've found.) Enjoy! Pros: Food, Drinks, Peter more

Wonderful food... 2/3/2005

And wonderful service. Our group ate there for the first time and it was a pleasure from start to finish. Ronald, our waiter, was friendly and helpful (one of our group had a particular food allergy and the chef modified an appetizer for that person's need). We had the scallops, veal, duck and cod, all delicious. Best part was the desserts, and the extra services they gave us, and we were treated with the utmost respect and attention. Truly, a delightful evening. Pros: Pastry, Food, Service more

Fiamma is hot! 2/2/2005

The pastas were some of the very best I had in my life. The service was perfect, Alexis is great! The wine list is very intimidating but the sommelier recommended a beatiful bottle for $60, we loved it so much we had two, both he decanted for us tableside. It was our first time to Fiamma and we will definitely be back. Pros: Great pasta, great service, great sommelier Cons: loud music at times, restroom inconvenient more

Bella Figura 10/4/2004

I love Fiamma. I have been there many times since the opening, for drinks, apps and long wonderful dining experiences. Sitting at the bar on the second fl to me is the place to be, you have the bartender (most recently a very attractive guy named Peter)all to yourself to explain the menu and serve you undividedly. I highly reccomend you try it..""Buona Sera"".. Pros: Atmosphere, celebs, food more

Superb 9/19/2004

I brought my parents to Fiamma Osteria for their 45th Anniversary two nights ago. The service and attention to detail were stupendous; the food and presentation--dazzling. A well-known New York personality was sitting at the next table but we felt that we were treated as if WE were the special ones. At the end of the meal we were given not one or two extra treats but three, including some chocolates to take away. Excellent scallop appetizer and wonderful veal ravioli that night. Very highly recommended. Pros: Service, Food, Atmosphere more

Perfect Italian 8/27/2004

From the reservationist, to the hostess', to the waitstaff, to the sommelier and the General Manager, you have a journey of FANTASTIC proportions. The Food is Awe-inspiring, the service is Perfection, the decor and ambiance are perfect New York. It doesn't get better than this...even in Italy....Thanks to the whole staff Pros: food, WINE, service more

On the Decline 8/27/2004

I have been to Fiamma 4 times in the past 2-3 years. Last night, the service was, as always. very attentive and the food was good (the rabbit ravoli and cod were great; the octopus antipasta was tasteless). Gone was the hip Soho crowd that I remember. Everything seemed tired, scratched, and, no longer new, including the patrons. The restaurant has lost its ""buzz."" Also, the wine list is out of control. While many great wines are listed, few are in the affordable $50-80 range; expect $90 and up and nothing but balsamic vinegar for under $50. Lastly, dessert was a failure. The donuts are still the best. The dessert special, some sort of plummed up cheesecake parfait, was inedible. It looked like a slightly thawed Sara Lee dessert and it tasted like something that was in the freezer a couple months too long. Dessert should be yummy, not gummy. Pros: Pasta, Proper prepared fish Cons: , Bad, BAD Desserts, Old/Boring Crowd more

bravo! 7/28/2004

Clearly a cut above the rest of italians. Had the Garganelli (pasta in a cream sauce with prosciutto). It was outstanding. So much I didn't want the eating experience to end. House cabernet was also excellent. They also gave a large portion (seemed like more than one glass - they poured some and left the rest in a separate lil' carafe to pour the rest). That glass though was $18. Coffee was tremendous too, including their presentation of it (gave a lil' teapot, so I could have a lil' bit at a time instead of pouring a large cup and having it get cold quickly). Total bill for that was $55. A must go - would rate this a 9.6. Pros: pastas, coffee, service/ambience more

The start to a great evening. 5/29/2004

What a great place. Eat like a king, the pasta is wonderful, without hastle. Friendly wait staff attends to your every need while you sit in large leather, one-armed chairs and relax. A setting that is perfect for conversation and a wine list that will keep you busy for as long as you like. This place is multi-functional. I came for business on Tueday and had to bring my wife on Thursday. A real winner. Pros: Service, ambiance, pasta more

Obviously, people are ignorant 5/4/2004

Okay, I just went to Fiamma on Monday with some old friends and we had an incredible time. Not only were we six people, we didn't have a reservation, and we only had to wait a short time in the beautiful bar. The drinks were great, the food was nothing short of amazing, as was the service. I saw so many bad reviews about the place on CitySearch, and these people obviously don't know quality. Sounds like they're used to eating at Applebee's. Someone actually said ""too much truffle."" Hello?!??!?! Try it. You'll love it. Pros: inventive cuisine, amazing wine, sexy decor Cons: , but it's worth it more

A Gem in SoHo 3/10/2004

Chose Fiamma for an intimate birthday dinner. The dining room was pleasantly buzzing with activity. The pasta dishes were excellent! The risotto was wonderful and the garganeli was fantastic (very rich!). The meat and fish dishes were good but not as great as the pastas. Management was very attentive...our waiter forgot a dish and we were constantly checked on afterwards and treated to a complimentary dessert for the mix up. Overall, expensive but good for a special dinner. Pros: great pastas, nice ambiance, good staff Cons: , meat and fish more

A Must Try 2/29/2004

Went here on a Weds night around 9 and the place was packed. Its warm, dim, minimal and very cool. Youre pretty much guarenteed to see 'someone' while dining there. In my visit we were seated right in the middle of 3 celebrities dining separately. The food is delicious and the plates are impressive. The waitstaff is knowledgable (ask for Jeff - hes wonderful) and the wine list extensive. Dont stay safe with ordering - some of the stranger sounding things are their better dishes. Definitely stay for dessert! I will definitely return. more

Mmm... garganelli... 1/21/2004

All I can say is: garganelli -- handmade pasta quills with San Daniele prosciutto and English peas and truffle butter. You must try it; it would be worth it to come to Fiamma just for this dish. Luckily, everything else that we had was tremendously excellent: octopus, prawns, the Branzini, and the duck. Fantastic wine list. Bring your appetite! Pros: Garganelli, Octopus, Knowledgeable servers more

Cordial Hostess need apply 12/13/2003

Great food and ambiance. If you can get past the rude hostess staff, the service at the table is quite good. Great wine selection. Pros: entrees, wine selection Cons: hostess/greeters more

Great lunch 10/29/2003

Went there with an associate for lunch, and it was a very good one. The bread needs help as does the spread they serve it with as it was a bit unflavorful aside from the rosemary, the apps were nicely done and the entrees and dessert were great. The Marscopone Polenta was a bit rich for me, but tasty none the less. Service was fine and not overbaring. Overall a very pleasant experience that I will gladly repeat. Do you self a favor and check it out. Pros: Decor, Food, Attentive and helpful Cons: a bit pricey, a bit slow in service more

Barola's best! 10/27/2003

Like some of the other reviewers, I was also there for a birthday dinner with a table of 4. Our waiter was attentive, not overbearing. The sommellier and manager were friendly and enhanced our overall experience. We also got the ""happy birthday"" on the plate and I thouht it was a nice, subtle and classy touch. The timing, service, taste and ambience planets were aligned on this night. While it's a pricier night out, it was well worth it. Pros: ambience, service, wine selection Cons: cost more
