| - First I want to thank Fiamma for seating us so late in the evening. We showed up around 10:30pm for a late dinner and they were technically closed, but the hostess was very kind and seated us.
We went with the Spring tasting menu - what a good choice. I started with the Capesante (grilled scallops, spinach, crispy onions, with a smoked bacon vinaigrette). This dish was perfect. I loved every bite and I loved the smokiness of the scallop and bacon. We also ordered the braised Kobe beef risotto cake. There were actual chunks of kobe beef rather than ground meat, which I appreciated. It tasted so good. For an entree I had the rigatoni with prosciutto, sausage bolognese and parmesan. It was delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce was chunky and flavorful. My wife had the gnocchi with lobster, portabello, and black truffle crema. She loved every bite of hers. We couldn't stop commenting on how good the food was. For dessert I had the tartufo--a dolce di latte gelato, with caramelized hazelnuts, a chocolate dome, and a warm chocolate sauce. It was awesome. So rich and delicious. My wife got the tiramisu and said it was one of the best she'd ever had. What a value.
The service was spot on as well. Our meal was well paced, the ambiance was beautiful, kind of dark, a little moody, yet chic. Love the fireplace and loved the food. Great fine dining experience.
