| - I am always nervous heading out with friends to an Italian restaurant since I have to eat gluten-free so I called ahead to Fiamma to make sure that there would actually be a few items on the menu that I could have for dinner. I was immediately assured that I could eat most of the salads, the risotto, and any of the fish specials. Armed with this small list, I was excited to head out to dinner with our small group.
We ate here at 7pm on a Saturday night - we made a reservation earlier in the day and were seated right away. Within the first ten minutes of being seated, we were personally greeted by at least four different people. Still not sure exactly who they all were ... a couple of servers, a sommelier perhaps? After reading some yelp reviews, I knew that service could be spotty so I asked the server if there were any specials ... my, oh my... were there ever! At least 6! They all sounded amazing. Thankfully, I asked the right server this question - she was able to describe each and every special with incredible detail, I wanted to try them all. We asked our other server a couple of follow up questions and she knew absolutely nothing. Nothing. It was very, very odd. Thank goodness she was not our primary server. We would have had a completely different experience. (It turns out that we had two servers because they were both relatively new - one is obviously a faster learner...)
We ordered a couple of crab and lobster stuffed mushroom appetizers for the table (they were gluten-free!! cheese stuffed, not breaded!), and some salads to share. My friend and I split the beet and pecorino cheese salad. Amazing. The table ordered a variety of dishes and they all looked and tasted delicious. I ordered the red snapper off the menu - it was a huge portion, served with delicious garlicky spinach and a tasty red sauce. I honestly could not even finish it.
The service was very, very drawn out. We arrived at 7pm and were eating until past 10pm. I would highly recommend this restaurant - the food was excellent, absolutely top-notch. Depending on your server, your experience might not be as stellar. Our second server definitely caused a couple of hiccups with our meal - ordering one of our group an appetizer instead of a dinner, for example. With that in mind, I don't think that I can give it a solid 5th star... 4.5 for sure, maybe 5 next time!
