| - Fiamma is also open for lunch Monday through Saturday, so you can try it during the day if you can't make it for Restaurant week or forget to make reservations at night. You can easily make reservations online through Open Table, though, so don't forget. This place is hopping!
The service here is top-notch. I found all of the staff to be kind, knowledgeable and prompt. I felt cared for, but never bothered. This is a true accomplishment during harried Restaurant week!
Let's talk about the food. YUMMM!
When you sit down, they bring out a plate of fresh bread and crunchy bread sticks to dip in this luscious and tangy pesto. If I had a big bowl of that pesto and a hunk of bread, I think I'd be happy. It was so good!
Other memorable dishes:
St. Germain Cocktail: Refreshing and crisp, this is my favorite cocktail ever. Reminds me of a sweeter mojito.
Calamari al Salto: This was a perfect hearty warm salad. The calamari was tender and not rubbery and provided a perfect canvas for the avocado and tomato to give it such flavor. The girls were mostly impressed with the party hat on the lemon, though.
Delizia Del Contadina: This was my first course, and it was lovely! A basic salad, but sometimes that's just exactly what I want, a simple salad, with fresh ingredients that are all perfect. This hit all of the marks.
Veal Ossobuco (Fiamma's Specialty): This was the best dish of the night. The veal was so tender it fell apart with a touch of the fork. The sauce it was simmered in was so flavorful and rich, you could tell it had reduced for hours. The one blight on the meal was the saffron risotto. It was so salty, it was inedible. No, we didn't send it back. Restaurant week is super busy and we were seriously enjoying everything else so much it became an afterthought.
Tagliolini alla Scoglio: It was incredibly hardy. I couldn't believe how much seafood it had, especially during restaurant week! They truly don't skimp on portions. The wine sauce was light and really let the homemade pasta and seafood stand out as the stars. I took most of it home and it was even better the next day.
Fussili Al Toscanaccio: I tasted a tiny bite of this dish, and it was packed with flavor and the chew on the pasta was perfect! I rank it the second best dish of the night!
Tiramisu: This dessert was creamy and light, not with an overwhelming coffee flavor. I thought it was perfect, but my dining partner wanted the coffee to be more prevalent.
Cheesecake: So light and creamy, and not too sweet. perfect with the berry drizzle.
Crema Tostada: This was my dessert, and despite the name, as you can see it is Creme Brulee. Not very imaginative of me, but so good :)
