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 Italian 1/29/2003

This sleek Italian has superb pasta,fish & service. Great selection of Italian wines. more

Modern and light 1/29/2003

First of all, the signature drink, the ""Fiamma,"" is awesome. Secondly, the Garganelli with shaved black truffles is one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. Lastly, from the first call with the reservationist to our waiter, the service is outstanding. I highly suggest Fiamma! Pros: Wine List, Food, Service Cons: Getting a reservation more

over rated 1/27/2003

The food was just average. I ordered the pasta dish with shrimp and lobster. The shimp had an awful Iodine taste. You would think at those prices that you would get fresh seafood. My boyfriend has the braised short ribs which were tasteless. I definitely would NOT recommend this place. Pros: atmoshpere, rasberry martini Cons: food, price more

Awesome 1/10/2003

Since prices in NYC are usually so high, it's a rare treat to actually get what you pay for when dining. However, Fiamma delivers. The place is bustling but dark and intimate at the same time, like a low buzz throughout the room. Our appetizer of 1/2 portioned pasta with lobster was delicious. Although we didn't notice, the host apologized for the entree taking too long. To make up for it, he gave us a plate of fresh parmesan and asiago with golden raisins and bread which was delicious. Our main courses were both amazing (braised beef and striped bass) and the desert was also delicious and gratis. The courtesy of the staff impressed us and the food wowed us. Great place. more

Excellent 12/31/2002

As someone wrote earlier, the ""Fiamma"" cocktail is really good. I had the ox-tail ravioli to begin. It was great. Pasta was really fresh and cooked perfectly. I had the braised rib for my entree and it practically melted in my mouth. It was on a bed of polenta which was inventive and delicious. And the service was kind, though the door staff needed to relax just a little bit. Overall, I had a great time. I think the demographic for the place may skew just a bit older than me, but that's fine. Pros: Delicious Food, Interesting Space Cons: Older crowd more

Romantic and hip restaurant. 12/23/2002

The raspberry martini called ""The Fiamma"" was really yummy. The seafood was great. I never had seafood seasoned with rosemary before -- I really liked it. The little black box of chocolates to bring home was a nice treat for the next day. Pros: Great Seafood, Great Ambiance, Nice Bathrooms more

not worth your $$$$ 12/20/2002

The waiter was not so keen to our needs. The food was not so good except for their pasta. more

a definite pleasure 12/14/2002

I had a great time at Fiamma. it's an aesthetically pleasing experience from the start, with a warm, low-lit ambience and a flush of murmuring conversational energy from surrounding diners that heightens the feel of intimacy that Fiamma provides. the wine list was notable, the service professionally attentive, and each course of the meal was a delight. we shared several appetizers before moving into perfectly portioned main-course, and then topped it off with espresso, a gorgeous port and amazing deserts. the sommelier went out of his way to make certain we were very happy with our wine selection, and the rest of the staff were just as generous with their attentions, while also being discreet. will most definitely return. Pros: wine list, ambience, service more

Not bad, but no that good either 12/11/2002

The music was extremely too loud to have a conversation with anyone in my party (there were only 4 of us)...I felt the wine list was overlypriced, as well as the food...and the menu doesn't have much to offer in terms of selection...My meal was OK, but the portions were very skimpy...The desserts, however were very good... Pros: Desserts Cons: Loud music more

excellent service, great atmosphere BUT 12/5/2002

the service was fantastic, they were very accomodating and educated. they are in a great location and the atmosphere is very nice. the only complaints that i have are the limited menu, come on, only one salad! and the bad coat check system. it made me want to run right out of the restaurant, very chaotic! kind of left a bad taste in my mouth at the last minute. however, the food was excellent! and the desserts were fanominal!! believe it or not, i felt like the desert menu had more selection. fiamma did have nice finishing touches prvoding you with petit fours and chocolates in a box to go! Pros: the little extras Cons: weird set up, coat check system! more

I wouldn't miss this one! 12/3/2002

This was probably the one of the best new restaurants in the city. The service was above and beyond. We were doted upon, never rushed and always accomodated. I highly recommend a visit and am confident you will enjoy the fabulous food, relaxing ambiance and helpful staff. more

WHITE ON COURSE 11/21/2002

THIS RESTAURANT HAS A CHEF THAT HAS TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE MENU IS VERY LIMITED WITH NO SPECIALS. IN ADDITION THE SERVING SIZE IS VERY SMAILL. THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT. TRY THE RAVIOLI WITH OXTAIN AND BEEF CHEEKS. IT IS GREAT AS IS THE TRUFFLED EGGS AND THE APPERTIZERS. THE DESSERTS ESPECIALLY THE BEINETS WITH DIPPING SOURCES ARE VERY GOOD. NOW CHEF WHITE EXPAND THE MENU. Pros: GREAT FOOD, NICE ROOM, GOOD SERVICE Cons: LIMITED MENU, NO SPECIALS more

Fabulous Fiamma 11/18/2002

I recently had dinner at Fiamma with my family and we were all pleasantly surprised. The food was wonderful and we were lucky enough to be there when truffles were in season and their truffle dishes were great. The special drinks are delicious and the restaurant itself was nicely decorated and it was a pretty hip place. I will definitely go back and it is a great place for younger people who want great atmosphere and food for a reasonable price. Pros: great decor, seated immediately more

The Competition Has Been Here 11/15/2002

Judging from some of the recent (inexplicable) reviews, it appears that the 'competition' might have been posting 'reviews' on this site. Nevertheless, as someone with no connection to Fiamma, I have to say that the food, service and atmosphere are all top notch. Just do a little homework and see what the professional reviewers have said. I have eaten here twice and have had two absolutely superb meals each time. The food, wine and staff were all fantastic. Highly recommended..... more

What's the big deal? 10/20/2002

Bland, mediocre, oversalted food, plus indifferent, nearly incompetent service. Overpriced wine list. Pretty room ruined by overly loud music and bad ventilation. Why is this place considered a hot spot? more

just hype 10/19/2002

I thought ""great! fresh pasta at a cool new place"" but the pasta was below average and the waiters were so snotty and spoke about the food as if it was AMAZING but it WASN'T! I just don't think it's worth a trip, especially as it's not cheap. more

quite nice 10/17/2002

Went to dinner at Fiamma last night. Was very good food. The pasta was just right, unusual and very flavorful. The salad was extremely fresh. The room was nice and not too loud. The place didn't blow me away as my best dining experience in NYC, but I had nothing to complain out, either. more

Not Worth the $200 Price Tag 10/9/2002

i went to fiamma a few weeks ago. After all of the hype, I was actually quite disappointed. The highly recommended mushroom salad was just that - mushrooms with greens. I expected more for the $15 price tag. My entree was so over-salted that i sent it back (and I generally LOVE salt). My boyfriend was equally underwowed. All in all, the food wasnt all that the reviews and the $200 price tag (and thats with a moderate priced wine) made it up to be. The service, however, was impeccable. more

good food, bad service 9/21/2002

Always enjoy sitting at or in the bar area. No server or busser to clean table for 20min. 1 frazzled cocktail server/runner/waiting on 4 tables in the dining room. Good help is hard to find but not THAT hard. The server was overwhelmed and forgot quite a bit about us, our order, our bill. I had to ask to spend money. An equally frazzled manager was of some help and apologetic and bought a round of drinks. The food was excellent except for the tuna carpaccio. Skip it, you've had it a dozen other times elsewhere. Scallops, yes Samantha, scallops were excellent. If anything it was like being in France....we enjoyed a looonnng dinner. Pros: very good dishes Cons: poor service, very expensive more

a tad disappointing 9/18/2002

The appetizers were stunning, the pastas oddly lackluster. And the design of the place is odd--getting to the bathroom from the upstairs dining room involves taking an elevator down a flight, then walking down another flight. By the time you return, your date will think you've skipped out on her. more
